Kellyanne Conway delivered $25,000 to Ginni via the Federalist Society just before the SCOTUS vote on the Voting Rights ACT. Clarabel Thomas voted it down. His vote killed it.

OR, when will we have seen enough?

he wasn't “raising him as a son” so much as a relative NFT.

@ProPublica “Democrats renewed calls for judicial ethics overhaul” is, at this stage, pathetically weak.

It’s time to impeach.

@wrigleyfield @ProPublica Well the Democrats are calling on it, they're not REALLY pushing it though, especially when Congressmen are insider trading and I'm sure other things as well.

The whole system needs SERIOUSLY more oversight across the board. Looking at former recent Presidents pushing brands.

@wrigleyfield @ProPublica Congressional leaders should be holding news conferences on the steps of the Supreme Court every day until something is done.
