Justice Thomas apparently decided he needed to recuse himself from consideration of John Eastman’s appeal of the rulings that opened his emails to the January 6th Committee. Eastman’s bid to have the case heard by the Supreme Court failed this morning.

Hard to think of a better example of the Republican mindset than Steve Scalise denouncing masks as "political theater" at the height of the pandemic and then wearing one behind closed doors when he's personally vulnerable from cancer treatment.

It is painfully funny that Trump apparently crimed so hard and in such a variety of unique ways that he has created a non-zero chance that we might actually break the unspoken US political norm of “of course we don’t make American presidents pay for their crimes & lol we’d never sent one to jail”

Went for annual check-up and assistant (not sure if he's a nurse or what) asked me to remember 3 words during course of our discussion before MD came in.
I still remember them now: Banana, sunrise, chair.
Admittedly, it's no man, woman, person, camera, TV but still...
Can I be president now?

Here is Judge Arthur Engoran's opinion dissolving Trump's corporate persons.
Thus far, the press seems less interested that Trump and two sons engaged in 10 years of fraud than they were that Biden's son owned a gun unlawfully for 11 days 5 years ago.
