NEWS: The Senate Judiciary Committee is conducting a hearing on the subject of ethics standards, in direct relation to revelations about the extraordinary gifts lavished upon Supreme Court Justices without being held to ethical standards.
In recent months, it has been revealed that billionaire Harlan Crow has spent an inordinate amount of money plying Clarence Thomas with gifts that he has not reported, and he has then ruled on landmark, consequential cases such as Citizens United while not reporting his gifts.
Questions have steadily swirled around the circumstances of Brett Kavanaugh's finances, as almost $200,000 of debt was conveniently and mysteriously paid off. Neil Gorsuch sold a co-owned property to a member of a prominent law firm with frequent business before the court.
Currently, there are no official rules of ethics Supreme Court Justices are required to follow by law. Up until now, it has pretty much been the honor system.
Drop a 💙 if you agree SCOTUS Justices should have to follow rules of ethics.

Now we're giving "violence vouchers" instead of fixing the gun problem.

Then let us read the books we want, choose our sexual preference without judgement or government interference, and get reproductive care when and where and how we choose.
See how that works, you ignorant dog whistle.
#BreakingNews Elon Musk wants to charge journalist money for sharing links to news or sources on Twitter. I will not source my material if this happens.
14. Carnahan is the former executive director of the Arkansas Republican Party.
During his unsuccessful run for the Arkansas Supreme Court, he used the slogan: "Finally, a conservative judge!"
Disgusting bigotry from Abbott. An 8 year child was executed. 4 adults were executed. Two children only survived because women shielded them with their bodies.
And Abbot cruelly dehumanizes them as “illegal.” For GOP, the cruelty is the point. Horrid.
@Politics_PR OMG...if that thing got dusted off, cleaned up, and eaten or vibed once in a while, maybe she'd quit Congress and enjoy life and leave the rest of us the eff alone!
Go fuck yourself, Greg, using senseless murder to advance your shit platform and demean the value of the victim's lives is shameful...even from a lowlife like you.

I’ve announced a $50K reward for info on the criminal who killed 5 illegal immigrants Friday. Also directed #OperationLoneStar to be on the lookout.
I continue working with state & local officials to ensure all available resources are deployed to respond.
This site is becoming more unusable by the day. Can’t see replies or mentions from people I follow, or normal folks, as it’s all full of blue-check MAGA trolls.
Old Twitter was occasionally toxic but usable.
New Twitter is often toxic *and* unusable.
Good job Elon (!)
