Onto business (quite literally in this case), here's an op-ed about Clarence Thomas's ongoing drip of revelations of corruption:
Quote:On Thursday, with Labor Day weekend approaching, news broke the way it can when political insiders want to get out an unflattering story when most people aren’t paying attention. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas had filed multiple corrections of his repeated errors in the financial reporting forms that the 1978 Ethics in Government Act requires.
There’s something curious about the amended form. It features substantial explanation of Thomas’s private flights, but nothing about yacht trips and other exotic vacations. It seems likely that this story doesn’t end with last Thursday’s amended financial disclosure form from Thomas.
For now, Thomas’s amended report disclosed three 2022 private plane trips paid for by conservative billionaire Harlan Crow and a stay in 2022 at Crow’s Adirondack mega-lodge. Thomas also amended prior years’ reports. He has now confirmed the 2014 sale to Crow of Thomas’s mother’s home, where she continues to live, first reported on Aug. 10 by ProPublica. In addition, there were amendments for a previously unreported life insurance policy and bank account.
