Brett Kavanaugh has been confirmed as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. The vote was 50-48 in favor of Kavanaugh.
Senators Collins, Flake, and Manchin had already announced their intentions to confirm Kavanaugh before the vote was held. Senator Lisa Murkowski, who was previously ready to vote "no", agreed to vote "present" instead so that Senator Steve Daines could attend his daughter's wedding instead of being present in the Senate to support Kavanaugh.

I know what my plan is to get out of NYC. We rather had three dry runs in 9/11, the Northeast blackout of 2003, and the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy when all the gas stations ran dry. 15 million people can't go anywhere fast. Driving barely works on a regular day, much less when something big happens. Walking doesn't even work well, because with that many people you can't walk fast. It's a slow shuffle across the bridges and through the tunnels.
The only chance is to pick routes that wouldn't occur to others and try to get ahead of the human wave that will strip the surrounding communities bare. Even the best prepared and fittest, though, will be hard put to make it.
Washington DC delenda est.
