When does the stench get bad enough that SCOTUS stops the cover-up and ends the mischief? This is on the Chief Justice to solve, plain and simple. Mom’s rent, family tuition, vacations and gifts — and secret? Any other government employee would be fired.

Clarence Thomas Had a Child in Private School. Harlan Crow Paid the Tuition.

Crow paid for private school for a relative Thomas said he was raising “as a son.” “This is way outside the norm,” said a former White House ethics lawyer.

it's so weird to me how san francisco and the bay area have become lightning rods for conservative politics, and how many people here speak so confidently and authoritatively about an area they've never even visited.

Some of the crimes I've seen in San Francisco:

- tan shoes worn with dark suits
- worsted suit jackets worn as sport coats
- oxford shoes worn with casual outfits
- dress sneakers
- "business backpacks"
- Patagonia vests with dress shirt and chinos

Couldn’t agree more

It pertains to masks, But applies to any number of interventions, notably #rapidtests for public health use

“Scientists need self/discipline to avoid conducting studies that cannot answer the question that they ask”

Do masks work? Randomized controlled trials are the worst way to answer the question

Studies on masking could not, on their own, produce the evidence that public policy demanded.

Would red flag gun laws make Minnesota safer? Experts say more research needed

Minnesota lawmakers are considering a proposal to allow guns to be temporarily taken away from people who pose a risk to themselves or others. But there’s not a lot of evidence about whether red flag laws actually reduce gun deaths.

THE MOST COMMON PROBLEM WITH MEN'S PANTS

DeSantis' outfit here illustrates one of the most common problems with pants—and the one that requires a bit of know-how to fix. So let's talk about it. 🧵 https://twitter.com/BryanDGriffin/status/1651939867545440256

“Today @GovRonDeSantis met with @KemiBadenoch, who has been branded by British media as the "Anti-woke darling of the right" (a badge of honor!) Two great conservative fighters on mission.”
