Under a federal law passed after Watergate, it appears that Thomas was supposed to disclose these gifts and trips to the government. He hasn’t. Instead, Thomas has lived a lavish life on the largess of his rich confidant while posing, in public, as the most humble and unassuming… Show more

I feel like people are losing perspective. A billionaire subsidized millions in luxury travel for a Supreme Court justice, then BOUGHT THE JUSTICE’S PARENT’S HOUSE, AND LET THEM STAY IN IT WHILE HE PAID FOR IT. Short of envelopes of money, how much more crooked could you get?

This is the third different time Elon Musk has promoted the video I made showing Sinclair broadcasters being forced to read a pro-Trump script and declared it to be, actually, liberal indoctrination Elon Musk may be the stupidest person on the planet

How do you write an article about Harlan Crow and Clarence Thomas without mentioning that Crow gave $500K to start Ginni Thomas's consulting agency, much of which went directly into her pocket as salary? This is not just about vacations or eccentricity.

Jet-Setting With Clarence Thomas Puts Spotlight on an Eccentric Billionaire
The justice’s relationship with Harlan Crow has raised questions about whether a friendship can be separated from politics and intensified calls for an ethics code for the justices.

She dropped this line on a group of kids then proceeded to spend the next several years proving they were 100% right.
Feinstein smugly telling off a group of children. "I've been doing this for 30 years. I know what I'm doing."

Dianne Feinstein has missed 58 Senate votes in the last month because of illness/being 89 years old. Biden can't confirm any federal judges without all Dems present on the Judiciary Committee. She's given no indication of a return date.

It’s been a fun decade being lectured on free speech and “safe spaces” from people who want to use state power to prevent themselves and others from ever encountering a book, person or idea these people find unpleasant or disagreeable

extremely revealing of the centrist brain that anyone could frame this as a "compromise." with whom? it's an executive agency. democrats control the executive branch. you're ceding power to people who have no leverage.

To put it mildly, this is extraordinarily disappointing and a total reversal from a position the Biden administration has taken since Day One. Wow. washingtonpost.com/education/2023

The Biden administration on Thursday proposed new regulations that would allow schools to bar transgender athletes from participating in competitive high school and college sports, but disallow blanket bans on the athletes that have been approved across the country. The administration cast the proposal as a compromise, though as a practical matter, they would side with those who have opposed the inclusion of transgender athletes in high-profile cases.

Clarence Thomas deserves a full Senate investigation and possible impeachment, but Congress likely doesn't have the appetite for that. As one Democratic House member tells me via text, "Public trust in SC is already bad. A big circus would destroy it completely."

The issue isn't "polarization" -- it's the Republican Party's opposition to multiracial democracy and the rule of law. It's a disservice to readers and an unnecessary muddling of the issue to use technical, political science jargon.

GOP lawmakers are handing out harsh punishments for their Democratic colleagues, including potentially expelling three legislators in Tennessee. Experts say it's a sign that political polarization is at its highest level since just after the Civil War. apnews.com/article/oklaho

I don’t want to get into a Twitter back and forth with you as we already did a 22-minute interview but I do have to fact-check you again today: I didn’t ‘demand’ anything. You tweeted publicly at me 2 weeks ago, asking to come on my show, & address Twitter/India censorship issue.

How can @mehdirhasan demand I comment on something I haven’t covered, e.g. Modi, when he repeatedly refused to address errors his network affirmatively did make but were exposed by TF reports (e.g. Hamilton 68)? That doesn’t need addressing before accusing others of a cop-out?

I remember when I said in January 2021 that all the Republicans who supported the violent insurrection against the United States government should be removed, and people told me that if we did that in retaliation Republicans would ... do this, the thing they just did anyway.

Another ceo thinking your job as an employee is what defines you. These guys fail to realize that employees do not give a fuck, nor will they give a fuck, about the same shit as an owner will. Owners are married to the job. Employees are not. Act accordingly.

Why do we have edition numbers if we're not going to change them when there are new core rules books, every class gets a revision, new terms are added, current terms are thrown out, backgrounds, feats, spells, weapons, stat blocks, and more are revised?

Kind of a fascinating development. The reason you can’t hear Marjorie Taylor Greene, and why this whole thing is off the rails, is because a man has been handing out free whistles. I talked to him. Turns out he’s a Trump supporter and he had no idea MTG was even here.
