Maybe I’m old fashioned, but it seems like the wife of a sitting Supreme Court Justice raising over half a million dollars to wage a culture war on half the country should be the leading story everywhere.
It should also be disqualifying for her husband to sit on *the* Court.
A little-known conservative activist group led by Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, collected nearly $600,000 in anonymous donations to wage a cultural battle against the left, a Post investigation found.

Doctors at a major US insurance company deny tens of thousands of claims a month without even looking at patients’ files.
“We literally click & submit,” a former Cigna doctor told @ProPublica & @Capitol_Forum. “It takes all of 10 seconds to do 50 at a time.”
The inside story 🧵

In spring cleaning mode? Don't forget to vacuum your smoke alarms! #DYK that airborne dust, contaminants and 🕷️'s can interfere w/ a smoke alarm’s ability to detect smoke? They can also be the cause of false alarms. (you know--those 3 am wake up calls?) #SpringCleaning #homedecor

In the 1950s, when I was a child, CEOs made about 20x more than the average worker.
In the 1980s when I was mayor of Burlington, CEOs made 42x more.
In 2000, when I was in the House, CEOs made about 120x more.
Today, they're making almost 400x more.
Unacceptable.

1 day from the release of my recommended operating budget for FY24 and plan for projects through 2029. This budget is very supportive of the education requests made by @MCPS and will also support community health, public safety, affordable housing, and fighting climate change.

When @POTUS called for a livable wage, the GOP stayed seated.
When he spoke about protecting our kids from gun violence, the GOP stayed seated.
When he stressed the need for affordable healthcare, the GOP stayed seated.
Only one party is standing up for Americans.
