Well it's a bit of a big news day! US and UK

I appreciate the optimism, guys, but I'm fairly confident it's going to be Charles.

💗This is truly historic - nowhere in this hemisphere have we ever before won majority control of a council.

Huge congratulations to the team - this comes from years and years of hard work. I well remember witnessing their big gains in 2019 which paved the way! 💚💚💚💗

And once again: if there is some innocent explanation for these "gifts," then why weren't they disclosed? Instead they were hidden.

Clarence Thomas -- $150,000 tuition, $686,589 in wife's salary, potentially $15,000,000 in travel.

Brett Kavanaugh -- $92,000 country club balance, $200,000 in credit card debt, and $1,200,000 mortgage.

[The Associated Press @AP]

Seven-time Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton lashed out at anti-LGBTQ measures in Florida.

"I’ll have the rainbow on my helmet," Hamilton said ahead of F1’s race in Miami this weekend. "It’s no different to when we were in Saudi.” https://t.co/xgWyx2xcTQ

The person appointed to uphold the rule of law doesn't think he's beholden to it. But we all know why that's the case:

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

I think this is pretty basic, but apparently it’s breaking news to a lot of powerful people: Supreme Court justices should have to follow a binding code of ethics.

Statement from Electoral Commission. They say overall the elections were “well run” but that voter- ID “posed a greater challenge for some groups in society and that some people were regrettably unable to vote as a result.”

[Bill Pascrell, Jr. 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @BillPascrell]

Today a member of my staff mailed back a Dunkin Donuts gift card sent to our office because it’d violate our ethics rules. Meanwhile corrupt Clarence Thomas is taking secret cash bribes from a far-right radical lobbyist. The Supreme Court is a corrupt cesspool.

Another law which he doesn’t seem to think applies to him

[ACLU @ACLU]

Politicians don't get to ban speech just because they disagree with it — and a federal court agrees.
