April 7, 2023:
Republican state lawmakers in Montana are advancing legislation that would alter next year’s U.S. Senate primary in an apparent bid to thwart the reelection of Sen. Jon Tester, one of several Democrats on the ballot in GOP-leaning states.
The measure would allow the top two candidates in the primary, no matter their party, to win slots on the 2024 general election ballot. It’s now before House lawmakers after passing in the Senate by a 27-23 vote on Tuesday.
Seven Republicans joined all of the chamber’s Democrats in voting against the measure.

Democrats are on pins and needles in anticipation of campaign decisions by Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Jon Tester (D-Mont.) because those contests could shift the majority in a cycle that has a decided GOP edge (Republicans will be defending 11 of the 34 Senate seats on the 2024 ballots.)

Apr 13, 2023: Raw Story: Clarence Thomas' real estate sale is 'a clear violation of government ethics law': ProPublica reporter
Fresh off reports that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas accepted luxury travel and accommodations from billionaire GOP megadonor Harlan Crow without any disclosure, a new report reveals Thomas also sold Crow his family home without disclosing it — which experts say is a much more clear-cut violation of federal ethics laws. |
"Yes, so we found that Harlan Crow bought property from Justice Thomas in a undisclosed real estate deal," said Kaplan. "Crow paid roughly $133,000 to Thomas and his relatives for three properties, one of which was the house, that old house that Thomas' mom was living in. And the other two were vacant lots down the street. And Thomas did not disclose this, which experts told us appears to be a clear violation of government ethics law." 4.13.23 |
April 9, 2023:Clarence Thomas On The Record
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas said Friday he was not required to disclose the many trips he and his wife took that were paid for by Republican megadonor Harlan Crow.
Describing Crow and his wife, Kathy, as “among our dearest friends,” Thomas said in a statement that he was advised by colleagues on the nation’s highest court and others in the federal judiciary that “this sort of personal hospitality from close personal friends, who did not have business before the Court, was not reportable.” Thomas did not name the other justices or those in the judiciary with whom he had consulted.
The nonprofit investigative journalism organization ProPublica reported Thursday that Thomas, who has been a justice for more than 31 years, has for more than two decades accepted luxury trips from Crow nearly every year.

Jan 16, 2023: Washington Post: Thom Tillis emerges as a bipartisan dealmaker as lawmakers fear dysfunction looms
Over the past year, Tillis has muscled his way to the heart of nearly every major bipartisan effort to emerge from the evenly divided Senate, taking a lead role in negotiating legislation on hot-button issues including gay rights, guns and immigration — all without drawing much attention to himself.

Feb 21, 2023: Aberdeen News: Gov. Kristi Noem's foreign ag bill dies in South Dakota Senate
Republican Sen. Erin Tobin, the Senate's prime sponsor of the bill, began her remarks by iterating the history of aggravations China has committed against the U.S. and abroad. She pointed to technology threats that "eviscerated entire sectors of the American economy," then cited their government's record of human rights abuses. But the issue returned home in Tobin's opening statement Tuesday.
"In 2013, we allowed the purchase of Smithfield Foods, the largest pork producer and the largest Chinese takeover of any company funded by the Chinese government," Tobin said. "They now own 26% of the pork industry in the U.S. We did not pay attention to the Chinese Communist Party's ideology."

Oct 13, 2023: 102.5Block: Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg Says He’s Received ‘More Than 1,000’ Racist Death Threats From Trump Supporters
“I will be heading downtown to meet with a Racist who leaked that I would be there at 9:30 a.m.,” Trump just recently posted to his Truth Social platform in reference to James, who has alleged that Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, Eric Trump and the Trump Organization are guilty of more than 200 instances of fraud (but not because they’re white, as far as I know). “The leak makes it much more difficult for the Police and Secret Service to do their job. This civil case is ridiculous, just like all of the other Election Interference cases being brought against me. If I had a fair judge, this case would have never happened. MAGA!”

March 8, 2023: Vanity Fair: IVANKA TRUMP AWKWARDLY IMPLIES HER BROTHERS AND DAD MAY HAVE COMMITTED FRAUD AT THE TRUMP ORG.
The New York attorney general’s case against the Trump Organization, Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Eric Trump is set to go to trial on October 2, 2023. Accused last year of committing a decade’s worth of “staggering” fraud, the defendants—who have denied everything—allegedly made over 200 false and misleading valuations from 2011 to 2021, with AG Letitia James charging that “the pattern of fraud that was used by Mr. Trump and the Trump Organization was astounding.” Should the company and family be found liable, the state has asked for a financial penalty of $250 million and for the ex-president, Don Jr., Ivanka, and Eric to be banned from ever running a business in New York again, among other things.
