I'm winding down my presence here and moving off to the tumbles and the toots. Link info is in my profile. I'd been sticking around mostly to watch the train wreck, but seeing Mr. M threaten to reassign NPR's account was the straw that broke this particular camel's back.

GOP judicial activist directed at least $25K to Ginni Thomas in the leadup to her husband casting 1 of the 5 votes to kill parts of the Voting Rights Act. "Don't mention Ginni," in the notes makes it clear that this was inappropriate. Read here: wapo.st/3B15Tou

Judicial activist directed fees to Clarence Thomas’s wife, urged ‘no mention of Ginni’

Leonard Leo told GOP pollster Kellyanne Conway to give the spouse of the Supreme Court justice "another $25,000" and to bill a nonprofit organization called the Judicial Education Project.

I suspect the main reason for this article was the opportunity to use "probe" and "Uranus" in the same headline. nypost.com/2023/05/05/alien-…

Ron DeSantis' ongoing disaster with Disney is getting worse for him. It turns out his own memoir repeatedly admits that he weaponized the state against Disney for criticizing "don't say gay." Disney extensively cites his book in its lawsuit against him: washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

Good talking points for talking to your Representative. (Call Congress at 202-224-3121. Press 2 for House. Use your zipcode to select the individual. If full mailbox, Google their name + "house" to find the contacts page with number for the local office.)

I hear House Republicans out on TV saying they would never vote to cut veterans’ benefits. In case there’s any confusion, I made a little chart that could help them out.
Did you vote for a bill that cuts domestic spending by 22%? If no, you voted to protect veterans' benefits. If yes, did the bill say: "This does NOT apply to veterans benefits?" If yes, you voted to protect veterans' benefits. If no, you voted to cut veterans' benefits.
