Thanks to @fromadeckchair for posting Hemingway’s words, re Goey’s passing. Hemingway didn’t fuck about - he got through the glitz & the glitter to the guts & the gore of the human condition. Read the book - it’ll make you a better person

Today would be a good day for Justice Clarence Thomas to announce that he’ll recuse himself from any more cases about the insurrection. Or we could bypass the honor system, pass my judicial ethics plan, and overhaul the broken recusal process. washingtonpost.com/national-…

WATCH: Dr. Fauci calls out @RandPaul *to his face* for creating a permission structure for armed extremists to target him and his family -- putting their lives at risk. Fauci brings the receipts -- clearly showing how Paul is fundraising off of his attacks against Fauci
