Clarence Thomas trails only William O. Douglas in time served on the Supreme Court, with more than 34 years on the bench. We need term limits so no future justice can hold so much power for so long. His legacy includes ethics scandals that highlight the lack of accountability for justices.

My thought precisely as they were hurtling towards the earth. The fragility of that moment! The relief of the superhuman NASA scientists at the press conference was so relatable. The capsule in the water seemed like a throwback. I guess the original design was genius!

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.

And our failed reaction to it. As the original post said. It will forever elude me why the reaction was lukewarm to this and Guantanamo and many other instances of elite impunity for grave violations of the rule of law.

Our reporting has found that ICE sent 600 immigrant kids to detention in federal shelters in 2025. A 17-year-old was detained at a traffic stop because officers couldn’t make contact with his dad, who is deaf. Another kid ended up in a shelter after making a wrong turn:

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor 3) Donors make huge profit 4) Repeat We must get big money out of politics. It is the root of our dysfunction.

I post monthly about the jobs report and inflation…but since we haven’t had an actual report in months, I’m going to talk about how in the moonlit night of Halloween the Fed Reserve injected about $29 billion of liquidity into the banking system — the largest overnight operation since the pandemic.🧵
