"Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas changed his position on one of America’s most significant regulatory doctrines after his wife reportedly accepted secret payments from a shadowy conservative network pushing for the change."
Yup. Thomas's rulings are nowhere near as consistent as his defenders claim. E.g., his arbitration rulings bear no resemblance to his stated jurisprudence.

When #KochNetwork buys a Supreme Court, they are buying fealty to the Koch agenda.
1. No public education
2. No middle class & no social mobility for the poor
3. Frying the planet
4. No oversight or regulations
5. Court Capture
6. The US broken into weak balkanized states & weak federal government
7. White supremacy
8. Evangelical Christianity imposed on others by the federal government
9. Civil rights erosions
10. Tax cuts for the rich

#KochNetwork thwarts progress in America.
GOP billionaire donors are buying an America with an illiterate peasantry, non-existent middle class, & permanent kleptocratic rule.
It's why the GOP fights health care reform. Medical debt erases intergenerational wealth.
A figurehead like Trump can rubber stamp their entire agenda in one fell swoop.

@Npars01 Senator Kennedy flew to Oklahoma and the next day Harold Hamm announced his mega-money is going to Nikki Haley. Coincidence?
The fossil fuel energy sector appears poised to back Haley.
Haley is being prepped to be vice president to Glenn Youngkin.
Peterffy has switched his funding from DeSantis to Glenn Youngkin.
Republican billionaire donors want milquetoast fascist not scary fascist.
Youngkin has a track record successfully conning Asian & Hispanic voters about the "dangers" of public education, a favorite target of #KochNetwork.
The GOP hate women, they will never have a woman as the nominee. Women are props to a male lead character in their worldview.
Youngkin's coy denials & WSJ coverage...

Youngkin knows the base, white supremacists who fear a multiracial pluralistic democracy where women & POC are equal citizens under the law.

Nikki Haley has skeletons in her closet that remain uninvestigated. She also hates women, especially PoC women.
She resigned her board seat at Boeing the same day as Kelly Loeffler was found to be using national security briefings for insider trading.
Nikki Haley acted as a patron to a politically corrupt Senator.

It depends on the budgets of cash strapped news organizations.
I'd reconmend putting donations towards any independent journalistic effort willing to do a deep dive on the candidates being auditioned for an alternative to Trump.
