Supreme Court in CRISIS as ETHICS SPIRAL into SCANDAL

Attorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian expose how the Supreme Court confirmation process has devolved from selecting legal scholars into political theater, with no enforceable ethics rules to prevent justices from accepting millions in undisclosed gifts. The hosts reveal how Justice Clarence Thomas accepted $4.2 million in luxury trips, private jets, and yacht excursions from GOP megadonor Harlan Crow—ten times more than all other justices combined—while Crow paid private school tuition for Thomas' great-nephew and purchased Thomas' mother's home, all without disclosure despite clear federal law requirements. They detail how Justice Samuel Alito flew an upside-down American flag outside his Virginia home on January 17, 2021—a Stop the Steal symbol carried by January 6 insurrectionists—then blamed his wife and refused to recuse himself from Trump immunity cases, while the Supreme Court's toothless ethics code adopted in November 2023 contains no enforcement mechanism, leaving impeachment as the only remedy despite no Supreme Court justice ever being impeached in U.S. history.

Ramble On: Waiting for the Barbarians (video) Morning thoughts on exfiltrations, the gutting of the FDA, tomorrow's protests, and how to quiet the brain by visiting Alexandria Greg Olear Apr 4 Good morning! Here is today’s ramble: And here is the transcript, edited for clarity: Good morning. It is Friday, April 4th, 6:17 a.m. We’ve made it. Those of us who have made it have made it through another batshit crazy week, courtesy of Trump and Musk and Vance and this entire cockamamie administration. There’s so many things to discuss.  The Five 8  is gonna be lit tonight. I encourage you to watch that if you’re around, at 8 p.m. Eastern,  on our YouTube channel,  The Five 8 .

One of them I wrote about on Monday, or Tuesday rather, in  the April Fool’s piece , which is that the ICE Ge...

POLITICO Nightly: Tesla’s Elon Musk problem

Image
  By  Charlie Mahtesian  and  Calder McHugh Presented by  Elon Musk speaks during a cabinet meeting at the White House today. | Al Drago/Bloomberg BEAR MARKET  — You wouldn’t know it from the frenetic, high profile he currently cuts in Washington, but tech mogul Elon Musk has  lost more than $100 billion in net worth  since mid-December. In the aftermath of Donald Trump’s election, the share price of the high-flying electric car company he leads, Tesla, climbed to a high of roughly $480 per share. But it has since cratered to under $300. Shares dropped another 4 percent today, to close at $290.80 per share. For Musk, the world’s richest man and Tesla’s largest shareholder, those are just paper losses. He owns and runs several other companies — among them SpaceX, Twitter, and artificial intelligence startup xAI — so Tesla’s recent decline is just a flesh wound. But the largely parallel timeline between Tesla’s nosedive and Musk’s rise as something ...
