Nov. 11, 2019 Tweet - "Steven Menashi told me in writing: "I am proud of my work at the Department of Education and of the legal advice that I provided."

Nov. 5, 2019 Tweet - "Trump judicial nominee Steven Menashi is simply unfit for a lifetime appointment to the federal bench.

Oct. 31, 2019 Tweet - "Today, Republicans in the Senate Judiciary Committee voted to advance Sarah Pitlyk's nomination to the district court in Missouri. This nominee lacks the basic qualifications & experience a trial judge needs and has radical views on reproductive rights. I opposed her nomination." Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 31, 2019 Tweet - "Sarah Pitlyk has never tried a case, argued a motion, examined a witness, conducted a deposition, or picked a jury. These are important qualifications for a federal trial judge, and she lacks them. Unqualified judges diminish our system of justice -- but do Senate Rs care?" Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 31, 2019 Tweet - "Steven Menashi has never tried a case or argued an appeal. Instead, he has spent much of his career writing angry editorials and helping carry out the anti-immigrant and anti-student agendas of Stephen Miller and Betsy DeVos. He is not fit for the job of federal judge." Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 29, 2019 Tweet - "Senate Republicans are moving to confirm one unqualified judge after another. Now it's Sarah Pitlyk of MO, who has no trial experience & radical views on reproductive rights.

Oct. 29, 2019 Tweet - "The Second Circuit hears appeals coming out of the Southern District of New York -- where there are multiple investigations underway into Pres. Trump and his associates. Now Republicans want to make White House lawyer Steven Menashi a Second Circuit judge." Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 28, 2019 Tweet - "Senators on both sides of the aisle should have reservations about advancing a judicial nominee like former Betsy DeVos adviser Steven Menashi. A lack of courtroom experience & history of expressing strident ideological views should not be rewarded with a lifetime appointment." Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 25, 2019 Tweet - "Sarah Pitlyk of MO is the latest Trump judicial nominee rated "not qualified" by the ABA. She's never tried a case. She's known for defending Brett Kavanaugh and attacking reproductive rights and the ACA. Another inexperienced, ideological nom who Rs want to give a lifetime appt." Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 24, 2019 Tweet - "Senate Republicans just voted to confirm Justin Walker of Kentucky for a lifetime appointment to be a federal trial judge.
