For decades, Justice Clarence Thomas has secretly accepted luxury trips from a major Republican donor, newly obtained documents and interviews show.
The extent and frequency of these apparent gifts to Thomas has no known precedent in modern SCOTUS history... 🧵👇

The Attorney General, at least, should understand that while social media is powerful, free speech is not an absolute right. For example, it is a crime to use speech to incite others to commit a crime law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/…

At this point, I'm only still hanging around to watch it all fall apart. It's mildly entertaining, in a horrifying way, but it's not a show I would pay money to see.

Voters across the country agree: Ranked Choice Voting can help fix our broken politics. With RCV, you force candidates to win a majority.
That sounds simple, but it's HUGE.

With all the talk about migrating to mastodon, I'm starting to picture myself as a tribal elder who realizes he has already made his last migration as he watches everyone pack up their furs and babies and earthenware pots and start traveling south ahead of the advancing glacier.

The Extremist Schmitt lives in Glendale, which has 4th highest income in MO. We know he's part of Trump's Treason Weasels, but why in the world would The Extremist sue to overturn the '20 election & outlaw all abortions, & use our tax $ for right-wing stunts?
Fixed that for you.
The Heiress Valentine lives in a gated community — free from violent crime. We know she’s part of @tishaura’s squad but why in the world would The Heiress deny police the funding they desperately need to protect communities who need it most. Sad and out of touch!

And this, supposedly, is the attitude that respects them.

“Half of U.S. adults (50%, up from 35% in 2019) feel that Supreme Court justices ‘are just like any other politicians’ and ‘we cannot trust them to decide court cases in a way that is in the best interest of our country.’” annenbergpublicpolicycenter.…

For someone who loves to tweet about inflation, Ann Wagner's voted against nearly every congressional attempt to lower costs for working families.

The struggle of our time is not left versus right, Democrat versus Republican.
It’s a struggle for democracy versus authoritarianism.

Because of this brutal ad, #StopOz is trending #7 in America. Dr. Oz doesn’t want anyone to see it. Keep retweeting it to make it the top trend in the United States.
