NEW: Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas just walked through the House side of the Capitol.

He didn’t say why he was here. But told me he was meeting with “nobody.”

I said tomorrow will be a big day at the court. “I guess so,” he responded.

Would he give a sneak peak of decisions? “Nope,” he told me with a chuckle.

@JustinWolfers We have a Republican president, that means you don’t have to worry anymore! Wait until next one.

[Isaac Saul @Ike_Saul]

Right in front of our faces. Zero attempt to hide or conceal it. Absolute, total self-enrichment at a magnitude we have never really seen. And every week brings a new story just like it. They're getting richer at every opportunity.

@JAParker29 @ConversationEDU @DefenceUwa @LowyInstitute @NSC_ANU I don’t know, they do seem happy to sling a drone over ships that don’t pay tolls

@i2cjak @yacineMTB I wonder the cost. $50 would make 20 pcb at jlcpcb assuming cost is decent

The WH got the MSPB, which is supposed to protect fed’l civil servants, to agree that “Article II of the Constitution gives Mr. Trump the power to dismiss officials without due process. By that theory, he can essentially erase civil service protections, even for public servants”

.@elonmusk says that no one can name a person who died from his aid cuts. In fact, I've met the kids who are dying, and I've talked to the families who lost children. In my columns, I've cited many, many names of people who have died because of Musk's aid cuts. A few examples:
*Yamah Freeman was a 23-year-old woman who died in childbirth because Musk cut funding for the diesel for ambulances in her part of Liberia. She couldn't get to a hospital and died as people were carrying her there. I talked to her parents and sister in their village.
*Gbessey Kiadu, age 1, died of malaria because of his cuts to malaria medication in Liberia. I talked to his mom in her village.
*Ibrahim Koroma, an infant, died of AIDS in Sierra Leone after he interrupted HIV supplies. I talked to health workers who cared for him.
*Achol Deng was an 8-year-old girl with HIV in South Sudan who died when Musk cut funding for the health care worker who provided her medicines. I talked to the healthcare workers.
I could go on and on. In almost every village you go to in South Sudan, Uganda, Liberia, Sierra Leone or other countries I reported in, you find people dying because of aid cuts. I challenge Musk: Come with me on a reporting trip, and we'll talk to these moms and dads, and you'll see the dying children themselves. I think if you see the kids whose lives are at stake, maybe you'll change your mind.

The US Government has become a bank from which the Trumps can write unlimited checks to themselves.

Trump before market opens: I won’t bomb Iran anymore.

Trump ripped up the walkway between the West Wing and the mansion to replace it with polished African granite carved in Italy. "Paid for by me," he claimed. Except that's not true. Taxpayers paid $689,232, per documents obtained by @michaelscherer https://t.co/7l2bkD0MIH

Wow.

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) floor speech on Trump Admin. corruption has now received 1 million views

He opens the remarks by arguing that Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation

@RueNahcMohr Make sure to test them. At least with non isolated the actual capacity tends to be 1/4 -1/3 of rated power

🚨BREAKING: In the Chicago suburbs, an ICE agent assaults a teenager for filming his vehicle, and pointing out that it illegally has no license plate.

In the video, a U.S. citizen is peacefully filming an ICE vehicle, that is sitting in a parking lot. He walks to the back of the SUV to document that it has no license plate.

That’s when the ICE agent jumps out, screaming, “Get away from my vehicle!” while aggressively charging toward the teenager.

The teenager immediately backs away, but the ICE agent keeps walking at him, tries to trip the teenager , and continues yelling… even though neither of them are anywhere near the vehicle anymore.

Filming government officials performing their duties, in public, is protected by the First Amendment. That protection doesn’t disappear just because the official doesn’t like being recorded.

An officer also can’t lawfully use physical force simply because someone is filming them. Using force, to stop someone from recording, is a violation of that person’s constitutional rights.

And let’s not ignore the reason the ICE agent got out of his car in the first place...

Illinois law requires vehicles, driven on public roads, to display valid registration plates. This ICE vehicle is not following that law.

So, if your first instinct, when someone records your conduct, is to assault them… you’re proving exactly why the public is recording in the first place.
