A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This is TPM’s Morning Memo. Thomas To Amend Financial Disclosure Form Overnight, Justice Clarence Thomas – via one anonymous source to CNN – offered his first response of any…
First. Please don’t settle without a harsh admission of malicious liability Dominion.
Yeah, right, oops….
OoPs, What? It was the INTERNS fault.
Ah, ha! I was right when I said last week that Clarence Thomas’ deal with Harlan Crow sounded like a 'reverse mortgage’, and it looks like Mama is having the last laugh by keeping herself alive. I bet she even has Clarence and Ginni Thomas pay for the property taxes and upkeep on the property, while she has extra money for Bingo nights.
Clarence knows there’s no way to force him out. So why would he bother even trying to pretend he’s taking this seriously?
Still, I’m glad this stuff is coming out. Add it all to the pile for reforming the Court… if we ever axe the filibuster.

KANSAS CITY, MO – Ralph Yarl, a 16 year old Black boy, was shot twice by a white man in North Kansas City after accidentally ringing the doorbell of the wrong home while attempting to pick up his sibling. The white man reportedly shot Ralph in the head through the glass door, then when Yarl was already bleeding out on the ground, shot him again
Reports indicate that the white man was taken to the police headquarters briefly to provide a statement but was released shortly after without charge
Also applies to the Clarence Thomas situation. He could try Steve Martin’s advice -
Thomas is a very sloppy thinker.
I’d forgotten Steve was once a cross dresser.

Thomas was better off when all he had to do is say ditto to Scalia but now that Ginni is in charge things have gone down hill. He needs to go.
When you hear stories like that, it just breaks your heart.
There is this diary over at Daily Kos where this individual talked about the new rules his/her insurance company are putting out to their customers. It looks like the MAGA crowd will be crying real tears soon once they read the rules because the insurance industry is getting ready not to pay for anything like this or insurrections. In fact, they’re going to drop you from their insurance rolls as of yesterday.
The sun beams down on a brand new day
No more welfare tax to pay
Unsightly slums gone up in flashing light
Jobless millions whisked away
At last we have more room to play
All systems go to kill the poor tonight
"But the explanation offered to CNN by the source on Thomas’ behalf is in considerable internal tension with itself…
Most expansive misspelling of ‘bullshit’ ever.
