He refused to answer many of the questions put forward. Rep. Mike Johnson: “You know, we were surprised. I think many people who watched this hearing today thought that he was one of the worst witnesses who has ever appeared before the committee… I practiced law for 20 years and I would say he ranks up there with some of the worst. He seemed unprepared. He was evasive. He dodged question after question and he used simple talking points that apparently were prepared for him by someone else. It was very unimpressive. And the idea that he would be the top pick of the Democrats to be on the Supreme Court makes us all wonder what was going on there.

I just played this video for AG Merrick Garland. He refused to comment on how many agents or assets of the federal government were present in the crowd on Jan 5th and 6th and how many entered the Capitol. pic.twitter.com/lvd9n4mMHK
Never in a million years, did we dream that one day we’d see the Justice Department, treat American parents as domestic terrorists. @JudiciaryGOPpic.twitter.com/22YOq7uWP9
As someone who grew up in the USSR, I’m disturbed that FBI is starting to resemble KGB - intimidation, surveillance, suppression of dissent... AG Garland @TheJusticeDept also didn’t firmly reassure us that they will keep Americans safe in light of the border & Afghanistan crises. pic.twitter.com/92YjAjXhb0
Lawmakers urge Biden to halt USPS contract. As you may or may not know, a 6 billion dollar contract was given to build electric postal trucks. But the company that got the bid is only going to make 10% of the trucks electric. Another bidder was going to use all electric trucks.
Only group that I could find that was opposed to a company called Workhorse was a small dissident West Coast group that has in the past made racist comments against a company associated with Workhorse. The groups issues were that the company was located in a area with a large community that was mostly minorities. Lordstown Motors ( a partner with Workhorse ) is close to Warren and Youngstown, Ohio. Both with large minorities.
Workhorse is a minority partner with Lordstown Motors, which is using some of Workhorse’s intellectual property in the Endurance, Lordstown Motors’ battery-powered pickup truck expected to launch in September.
Lordstown Motors’ factory in Lordstown, the former General Motors assembly plant, was likely the site to make the postal service vehicles had Workhorse been given the contract. The company’s business plan, however, was never reliant on Workhorse getting the contract.
This contract award stands in stark contrast to Biden’s Executive Order on Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad and his public calls to transform the federal vehicular fleet to electric vehicles. Kaptur, Brown, and Ryan and are asking Biden to review the contract award.
