Their status relative to the poor is as important to rich people as their actual wealth, so when inequality declines, the rich (who have the ear of the business press) feel like there is a recession whether one is happening or not https://twitter.com/JustinWolfers/status/1677106660198830080?s=20
Clarence Thomas perjured himself to get on the Supreme Court in the first place and he’s just cartoonishly corrupt. If he's still on the court the next time Democrats take the House, Dems had better have articles of impeachment ready to go.

This lobbying campaign is probably going to end with a Thomas-penned opinion overturning U.S. v. Darby and basically reinstituting Hammer v. Dagenhart won't it https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2023/04/23/child-labor-lobbying-fga/

Elon’s blue checkmarks are a lot like crypto: they only have value to people if other people are buying them.
That’s why Elon’s super fans are so mad that celebs aren’t buying loser badges too. And why crypto bros lose their minds if you point out how useless their coins are.
Eh, I don't care about the decorum aspect of this. But given that every conservative accusation is a confession, what do you wanna bet Alito did at least one secret talk with fed soc donors during the Trump era where he advocated ignoring rulings that Trump didn't like QT @joycewhitevance@twitter.com Justice Alito's assertion that the Biden administration would not follow a legitimate order from the Court is unwarranted & completely unbefitting a Supreme Court justice. https://twitter.com/JoyceWhiteVance/status/1649553199206920192
Lmao, he’s not wrong about Ellis. As always, literally the only good thing about Trump is the way he treats some of the (other) absolute worst people in America
@kjhealy@mastodon.social Justice Thomas doesn’t vote the way he does because he gets undisclosed cash and in-kind benefits from a far-right Nazi memorabilia collecting billionaire; he sincerely holds the exact set of beliefs that are consistent with those of someone who gets undisclosed cash and in-kind benefits from a far-right Nazi memorabilia collecting billionaire!
That is…not the defense Shapiro thinks it is
@protecttruth@mastodon.online I mean, no, I don’t think he’d vote differently. That Thomas votes exactly like someone getting paid by a far right billionaire was why we already knew he was bad before we found out he was a crook too!
