  1. The news that Kyrsten Sinema, a Democratic senator from Arizona, spent over $100,000 in campaign donations on private jets, luxury hotels, limousines, and expensive wine has raised concerns among her constituents. Sinema has been criticized for using campaign funds for personal indulgences, which some argue is a misuse of the public's trust and money. Similarly, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has also come under scrutiny for accepting gifts and vacations from GOP donor Harlan Crow. It has been reported that Crow has funded Thomas' lavish vacations and trips on yachts. The close relationship between Thomas and Crow, as well as the potential conflicts of interest that arise from this relationship, have raised questions about Thomas' impartiality and judgment on the bench. It is important to note that both Sinema and Thomas have received support from billionaire donors such as the Koch brothers. This raises concerns about the influence of money in politics and the extent to which elected officials and judges may be beholden to the interests of wealthy donors rather than the needs and concerns of their constituents. Many argue that the actions of both Sinema and Thomas are unacceptable and demonstrate a disregard for the public trust. Some have called for their removal from office, arguing that they have violated the public's trust and that their actions have undermined the integrity of the political and judicial systems. The influence of money in politics and the need for transparency and accountability in public office remain important issues that must be addressed.

  2. Justice Samuel Alito, a member of the Supreme Court, has been accused of working to undermine access to mifepristone, a safe and effective drug used in more than half of all U.S. abortions. Alito has been criticized for siding with efforts to restrict access to the drug, which would have serious consequences for women's reproductive health and rights. In addition to his stance on abortion rights, Alito has been criticized for his record on issues related to church-state separation. He has been accused of siding with a coach who prayed on the field, effectively destroying the wall between church and state. This has raised concerns about his commitment to upholding the Constitution and protecting the rights of all Americans. Alito has also been accused of compromising the integrity of the Supreme Court by leaking opinions to donors affiliated with the Federalist Society, a conservative legal group. This has raised questions about his impartiality and judgment on the bench, and has led some to argue that he is an enemy of the people. The actions of Justice Alito have had serious implications for the integrity of the Supreme Court and for the protection of individual rights and freedoms. His record on issues related to reproductive rights, church-state separation, and the integrity of the judiciary has raised concerns about his commitment to upholding the Constitution and serving the best interests of the American people.

  3. It is a well-known fact that some of the United States' highest judicial officers, namely Supreme Court Justices Antonin Scalia, Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, and potentially Chief Justice John Roberts, belong to the religious organization Opus Dei. This organization, known for its secretive practices and highly conservative views, has raised concerns about the impartiality of these judges and the influence of their beliefs on their judicial decisions. Given the significant impact that the Supreme Court's decisions can have on our lives, it is alarming to think that our fate may be in the hands of individuals whose ideologies and beliefs are shrouded in secrecy. These judges are meant to make impartial decisions based on the Constitution and legal precedent, but the possibility of religious biases influencing their judgments cannot be ignored. As such, it is disconcerting to think that our lives and our rights could be decided by these religious "freaks," as some may describe them. It is essential that the judicial system remains impartial and free from the influence of any personal beliefs or affiliations, especially when it comes to deciding on matters that can impact the lives of millions of people. In conclusion, the public has a right to be concerned about the religious affiliations of Supreme Court justices and their potential impact on our nation's laws. It is crucial to ensure that our justice system remains fair and impartial, and that the decisions made by our judges are based solely on legal precedent and the Constitution, without any personal biases or beliefs getting in the way.

  4. GOP leader Rep. Scotty Campbell, who voted to expel the Tennessee Three, has resigned following accusations of sexual harassment towards college interns. Campbell is accused of making inappropriate advances and vulgar comments. He was not removed from his leadership position or committee assignments, and taxpayers may have paid to relocate and protect one victim. The Ethics subcommittee found Campbell violated workplace discrimination and harassment policy. Campbell denied the allegations, claiming consensual conversations with two adults. The situation highlights issues within the GOP.

  5. Newly released text messages have revealed that lawyers for former President Donald Trump, along with members of the Trump White House, were planning to use stolen voting data in an effort to overturn both the 2020 presidential election and the 2021 Senate runoff race in Georgia. This revelation is significant because it suggests that Trump and his team were actively seeking to subvert the democratic process and undermine the legitimacy of the elections. The use of stolen data would be illegal and unethical, and would represent a clear violation of election laws and norms. The text messages indicate that Trump's team was actively coordinating with individuals who had obtained voter data through illegal means. The goal was to use this data to challenge the election results and cast doubt on the legitimacy of the vote. This would have had serious consequences for the democratic process, and would have undermined the faith of the American people in the electoral system. The revelation of this plot underscores the seriousness of the efforts to overturn the election, and raises serious questions about the integrity of the former president and his team. It also highlights the need for continued vigilance in protecting the electoral process and upholding democratic values.

  6. The highest court in the land, Where justice and fairness should stand, Yet behind the gavel's heavy weight, Lurks a shadow that we can't abate. Opus Dei, a religious sect, Whose views are hard to digest, Counts among its members, Justices known for their fervor. Scalia, Alito, and Thomas too, Their beliefs and biases in full view, Roberts may also be a part, Of this group that has raised concern in our heart. Our lives and fates they do decide, With their gavels and their pride, Yet we cannot help but wonder, If their religious views hold us under. Our rights and freedoms, under threat, From religious biases we can't forget, We pray for justice that is pure, Without the influence of beliefs obscure. May our justice system remain, Fair and impartial, without a stain, And may the decisions of the court, Be guided by the Constitution, not any religious consort.

Although Fox News has agreed to pay a massive settlement of $787.5 million, it seems like there's more trouble on the horizon. According to insiders, there's a steady drip of damaging revelations that are sure to rock the network and those who used Fox News to peddle the Big Lie.

So hold onto your hats, folks, because it looks like the fallout from this lawsuit is far from over.

  8. The Supreme Court just ruled that mifepristone will remain available pending appeal, but the fate of the safe and effective drug used in more than half of all U.S. abortions is still up in the air. Let's be clear: There's nothing "pro-life" about blocking access to medicine.

  9. Potential BREAKTHROUGH for Jack Smith! Top Trump advisor Boris Epshteyn has sat for an interview for multiple hours and a second is planned. Jack Smith reportedly personally sat in on the interview. According to lawyer Harry Litman, one thing comes to mind: cooperation. Litman states that the fact the meeting occurred in Smith’s office, and not before a grand jury under a subpoena, could mean Epshteyn wants to voluntarily talk. “If this were true it would be a MAJOR break in the dam for Trump and his legal team,” Litman said. “Epshteyn is really one of the three or four closest and knowledgeable people (to Trump’s potential crimes). Epshteyn‘s cooperation would be devastating. And second meetings don’t happen if he wasn’t talking. If all indications are true and Epshteyn is folding on Trump… Trump is f*cked.

  10. Recently, there has been a ruling by the Supreme Court regarding the availability of mifepristone, a medication used in more than half of all abortions in the United States. The Supreme Court has allowed for the continued availability of mifepristone while the case is pending appeal. However, the future of this safe and effective drug remains uncertain. It is important to note that preventing access to medicine has nothing to do with being "pro-life." The decision to block access to mifepristone could have significant consequences for individuals seeking abortions, including increased risks to their health and wellbeing. It is essential to prioritize the health and autonomy of individuals in making decisions about their own bodies and medical care.

  11. Did you know that the Second Amendment was added to our Bill of Rights to appease slaveowners who needed to quickly arm militias, to put down slave uprisings and insurrections? Why is this history not taught? —Brandt Robinson

  13. Throughout history, marginalized communities have often been targeted and discriminated against by those who seek to maintain a sense of superiority. We have seen this pattern play out time and time again, with different groups being singled out based on race, religion, or nationality. Sadly, we are now witnessing this pattern repeating itself once again, with the LGBTQ+ community, and particularly trans folks, being the target of bigotry and discrimination. For years, trans people have faced discrimination in employment, housing, and public accommodations, with many experiencing violence and harassment on a regular basis. However, instead of fighting against this discrimination, some people choose to remain silent, either out of ignorance or indifference. But saying nothing is just as bad as actively perpetuating discrimination. By remaining silent, we are complicit in the oppression of marginalized communities, and we allow the cycle of discrimination and bigotry to continue. It is our responsibility to speak up against discrimination in all its forms and to support the rights of marginalized communities. We must acknowledge the humanity and dignity of all individuals, regardless of their gender identity, race, religion, or any other factor. Only by standing together and speaking out can we hope to break the cycle of discrimination and create a more just and equitable society for all.

  14. In the halls of justice, where the fate of a nation is decided, There reside six individuals, right-wing and misguided. Sam Alito and Clarence Thomas, of the Catholic cult Opus Dei, Their beliefs and agendas, oftentimes shrouded in a lie. Amy Coney Barrett, once a member of People of Praise, Her past affiliations now under the nation's gaze. Ginni Thomas, a devotee of the MAGA cult, Her influence and power, often resulting in tumult. All six Justices, members of the Federalist Society cult, Their decisions and actions, often leaving many exasperated and insulted. These are the individuals entrusted with the nation's law, Their questionable beliefs and motives, leaving many in awe. May the people's voice be heard, and justice prevail, For a nation's future and destiny, they must not derail.
