Supreme Court spouse Ginni Thomas not only pushed the Trump White House and Republican congressmen to try to overturn the results of the 2020 election , she also reached out to Arizona state lawmakers asking the same, The Washington Post reported Friday. This latest revelation raises still more questions and concerns about the extent to which Thomas’ role as a right-wing activist affects the work of her husband, Justice Clarence Thomas . Ginni Thomas sent emails to Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers and State Rep. Shawnna Bolick, both of whom are Republicans. “Article II of the United States Constitution gives you an awesome responsibility: to choose our state’s Electors,” Thomas wrote on November 9. “[P]lease take action to ensure that a clean slate of Electors is chosen.” She added that the legislators should “stand strong in the face of political and media pressure,” and even requested a meeting with them “so I can learn more about what you are doing to ensure our … [Read more...] about Ginni Thomas Asked Arizona Lawmakers to Overturn Biden’s Win

Young Thug’s Lawyer Blasts His ‘Dungeon-Like’ Jail Conditions in Emergency Filing
Young Thug is being held in “dungeon-like conditions” and deserves release on bond or more humane treatment while fighting his “unconscionable and unconstitutional” RICO indictment, the Atlanta rapper’s lawyer says. In a new emergency motion filed Friday and obtained by Rolling Stone , lawyer Brian Steel says his client has been placed in “solitary confinement” in a Georgia jail, relegated to a “windowless cement compartment with only a bed and a toilet and an overhead light which remains on 24 hours per day.” He says the musician, born Jeffery Williams, can’t sleep, rest, or mediate due to the disorienting environment and has “no opportunity to exercise, shower or have human contact.” “Mr. Williams, an innocent man, who is wholly isolated from the world, must obtain immediate relief,” Steel writes in the motion. Williams, 30, was arrested Monday on felony charges alleging violations of Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) statute. Fulton County … [Read more...] about Young Thug’s Lawyer Blasts His ‘Dungeon-Like’ Jail Conditions in Emergency Filing

You have to have that stuff around for Spokane to be Spokane. We think The Big Dipper needs to be a part of the fabric of our city and we want to bring it back to life.” … [Read more...] about Help Sunny Day Real Estate’s Dan Hoerner Save Washington Club

The Lame Blowback to March For Our Lives

For the liberal-minded among us, González – along with her compatriots, and the marchers in at least 450 other places – blew in like an early shot of political spring, opening a sunny crack in the chill gray clouds that have hovered and threatened and darkened everything since November 8th, 2016. Sure, this break in the gloom only lasted about five minutes (or six minutes and 20 seconds ). The spell was dashed as soon as Stormy Daniels began responding to Anderson Cooper’s gentle questions on 60 Minutes . But the bracing honesty and irreverent optimism of the movement spawned by González’s fellow survivors at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School gave us the first shot of hope in a … [Read more...] about The Lame Blowback to March For Our Lives
