Justice Alito accepted tens of thousands of dollars in lavish vacation gifts from a billionaire who lobbied to cancel the student loan forgiveness. After the gifts, Alito voted to overturn. This SCOTUS’ corruption undercuts its own legitimacy by putting its rulings up for sale.

Why was the bloated, redundant military budget off limits in the debt limit negotiations between the militaristic GOP and Joe Biden? That’s over half the federal operating budget. Untouchable. Full of contractor rip offs and corruption.

A good reminder that The Discourse™ is completely rigged.

We live in a time of multiple overlapping crises: health, housing, inequality, racial injustice, gender violence and climate. We’re not going to get anywhere if we try to address them one at a time. Here's a clip from my chat with @_RajPatel and @billmckibben at @VillanovaU.

MORE TROUBLE FOR CLARENCE THOMAS. JUST IN: Clarence Thomas has claimed income from a defunct real estate firm for almost two decades. The company — a Nebraska real estate firm launched in the 1980s by his wife and her relatives — has not existed since 2006. The company was replaced by Ginger Holdings, LLC, though Thomas has continued to report between $50,000 and $100,000 annually from the defunct company on his financial disclosure forms. Along with other errors and omissions over the years, this prompts concerns about his accuracy in reporting his finances to the public. This should be the LAST straw. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. A FULL investigation into his finances must happen and Clarence Thomas should be held accountable. Otherwise our laws or respect for the court means nothing. IMPEACH CLARENCE THOMAS!

Maybe I’m old fashioned, but it seems like the wife of a sitting Supreme Court Justice raising over half a million dollars to wage a culture war on half the country should be the leading story everywhere. It should also be disqualifying for her husband to sit on *the* Court.

I had no money growing up. My dad was a labourer and my mum did everything to make ends meet. Men worked hard. Women worked miracles. But education was free. As was the local library. I knew books were my passport to a better life. Happy #WorldBookDay

As a society we have to choose between the planet or the military.

Rep. Ilhan Omar delivers a powerful speech in her own defense as the GOP looks to oust her from the Foreign Affairs Committee. "I am an American." BRAVO!!!!!!👏👏👏

"A developed country is not a place where the poor have cars. It's where the rich use public transportation."

Now you're getting the idea.

Sean Hannity pushing election fraud lies for 2 years on his show then testifying under oath that he “did not believe it for one second,” is all you need to know about Fox News.

I've never taken a cent from corporate PACs, and I only endorse congressional candidates who make the same pledge. I'm glad more of my colleagues are rejecting corporate money. Our democracy should work for the American people—not big corporations. rollcall.com/2022/12/05/vows…

The House just passed an $858,000,000,000 defense bill and not a single person, nor the media, asked “how are we going to pay for it?” When it’s time fund programs that help poor people, we hear that question from Dems, the GOP, & pundits in the corporate media.

CEO pay at America’s largest public companies is up 1,460% since 1978. Talk about inflation.
