1. Why did Gulf kingdoms embrace Iran? When the #GulfArab states saw what happened in Iran over one #Kurdish woman who stood up to became the #Mideast version of Rosa Parks, they all panicked. Remember, the US lists as terrorists a group whose ideology seeks #genderequality.
2. That continued listing over an ideology we support is something @POTUS @VP and @SecBlinken need to explain. But in the interim, we are seeing the #Arab word suddenly embracing #Assad, a blood soaked chemical weapon-using, sociopathic dictator. Why?
3. Because he's the one they have tapped to eliminate the #Syrian #Kurds. And all the #misogynists cheer him as their standard bearer. And once the #SDF is gone and the #women once again relegated to second-class rights, they can get back to business
4. funding Al-#Qaeda, #ISIS, #Hamas and #Hez to continues the longest war in history. And with #Israeli instability because the PM is a #Russian mobster, we and they will just sit back and let it happen. #Israeli radical religious right might be able to join the #ArabLeague
5. because they too thrive on God's alleged call to oppress women, in her name.

1. Are we witnessing a decades-long criminal conspiracy to corrupt judicial nominees to deceive the Senate? Do they await orders as judge to perform their quid pro quo for their criminal principals like the Federalist funders? Then Thomas got caught doing old fashioned graft.
2. A US Senator is now asking for the Judicial Conference, the Judiciary's self-policing authority that can recommend an impeachment, to this time report a SCOTUS justice for prosecution. The game has indeed changed as #45's indictment proved nobody gets a get out of jail free.
3. I bet they all wish Thomas would just go away. When the truth takes a long time to emerge it can often come in a flash flood. Who are the witnesses? What do they know? Who wants to be the first one to make a deal and avoid a long jail term?

1. Everyone is missing the point on Thomas. IMO the "sale" shows evidence of a money laundering. The deed was sham where party in possession stayed in possession. Transaction allowed a transfer of at least $133,000 to the family of SCOTUS justice. Have we seen the bank records?
2. This apparently went through a Savannah white shoe law firm and the name partner got the tax notices. There was no evidence of an escrow that would follow "know you customer" FinCEN requirements. Do we know for sure what amount of money was transferred?
3. IMO by not disclosing the transaction Thomas committed a federal crime. Why won't the so-called legal "experts" read the statute? By continuing to say the ethics rules need to be changed they inadvertently conceal a federal crime. Here is the reporting requirement. Image

1. Fact check: @DeadlineWH @harrylitman @msnb @ It's a crime to not disclose it. See Ethics in Government Act of 1978.

A Supreme Court Justice is a person required to file a disclosure. See 5a § USC 101 (a) & (f)(11) and 109(10). Image
2. There is no exclusion for gifting a house. See 5a USC 102(a)(2)(A) Image
3. Failure to file and filing a false report are both federal crimes. Image

1. IMO Russia took the bait. Putin moved the few remaining competent military assault forces to Bakhmut and Avdiivka to be fixed in place while the counter-offensive likely begins elsewhere. It will pit well-supplied NATO trained and intensely motivated Ukrainians
2. against the unprepared poorly-trained Russians who have been sitting in rear areas pondering the Hague. It will be Kharkiv all over again with Russians running for their lives into Crimea where they will be pinned with the Kerch bridge totally destroyed by Grom-2 ballistic
3. missiles. Without a source of water and without hope of resupply the Russian will be exposed while Ukrainian missiles pour down on them. There's rain currently in the region and I don't think Ukraine is in a hurry to start as long as Russians keep walking into

1. The purpose of the lawsuit filed in NYC is to quash the subpoena and enjoin Pomerantz' compliance. The case is presently assigned to a #45 appointee but that's not likely to matter.
2. At the time of Judge Mary Kay Vykocil's nomination she was a respected SDNY Bankruptcy judge and was recommended by both of New York's Democratic Senators. Here's a WIKI summary of one of Judge Vykocil's recent decisions: Image
3. One thing that caught my eye in the filing was the fact that Bragg's office hired Gibson Dunn to file the case. They're a very conservative firm. I would put them on par with Jones Day and K&E. Good lawyers but very right-leaning.

1. The EDWA case was first case to have an enforceable injunction regarding the radical right's attempt to create a national abortion drug ban. Apparently fearing the scheme was at risk, on March 30, anti-abortion states Idaho, Iowa, Montana, Nebraska, South Carolina,
2. Texas & Utah filed a motion to intervene in WA and now they're trying to have the court to expedite the motion. I think they have made a potentially big strategic blunder. The order granting the liberal states' motion for a temporary injunction that went into effect before
3. the Texas judge's order did not grant the request for a nation-wide ban that the court cited was not favored by the Ninth Circuit. So non-party states would not be part of the scope of the EDWA preliminary injunction. But by intervening these radical right states
