The Senate Judiciary Committee will be voting on advancing President Biden’s nomination of Ketanji Brown Jackson for the Supreme Court to the entire Senate in the coming days.
Meanwhile, Politico appears to have been in a bit of a rush to make the nomination historic:

There’s so much “journalism” in that initial report.

Their article still says KBJ will be the “first black SCOTUS” https://t.co/gkN8c2jpxH pic.twitter.com/VAyvIp50Lr

Politico since added the word “female” to make the statement correct:
Correction: An earlier version of this minute incorrectly stated that Jackson would be the first Black Supreme Court justice. She would be the first Black female justice.
While we’re at it, perhaps Politico could explain what they mean by “female,” because, just like Judge Jackson, we’re not biologists.

Politico deletes tweet that ignores Black Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas because that's what Leftists do. They ignore Blacks they don't like. They don't even exist to these people. https://t.co/MNLQIWaYmi
