kpete's JournalPelosi Ups Pressure On Thomas Recusal: 'I Don't Think He Should've Ever Been Appointed'
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Thursday took congressional Democrats’ demands for Justice Clarence Thomas’ recusal from Jan. 6-related cases up a notch, following revelations of his wife’s pro-coup texts.
Speaking to reporters during a press conference on Thursday, Pelosi didn’t mince words when asked whether she agrees with members of her caucus calling for Justice Thomas’ resignation now that the extent of his wife’s involvement in Trump’s election subversion efforts has been revealed.
“I don’t think he should’ve ever been appointed,” Pelosi said, before saying that she wouldn’t directly address some of her colleagues’ calls for Justice Thomas’ resignation.
Pelosi, however, urged the House to pass a standalone bill to impose a code of ethics on Supreme Court justices.

Tell me this traitor’s security clearance has been revoked. He openly conspires with the enemy, when the U.S. is attempting to steer clear of a war with Russia.

TFG asks for Putin's help
Charlie Sykes
.........
Even as Trump spoke, Putin was waging a war of unremitting terror that has killed thousands of Ukrainians. The West has rallied to oppose him, and nearly every American political figure — from both parties — has denounced the Russian thug.
And it is at this moment, amidst a brutal war of aggression, that Trump once again reached out for Putin’s help in attacking the sitting American president and, by extension, this country.
Here’s where we come to the treasonous smoking gun:Trump explicitly frames his request to Putin as an act of retaliation not just against Biden, but against the United States itself

'Significant' evidence suggests Trump Org misstated asset values for more than a decade, NY AG says
‘Significant’ evidence suggests Trump Organization misstated asset values for more than a decade, NY AG says
KEY POINTS
The New York Attorney General Office’s probe of the Trump Organization “uncovered significant evidence” suggesting that the company’s financial statements for more than a decade relied on misleading valuations of its real estate assets, the office said
Those potentially inaccurate valuations were used “to secure economic benefits — including loans, insurance coverage, and tax deductions — on terms more favorable than the true facts warranted,” the office said in a court filing.
The filing was made in response to the Trump Organization and former President Donald Trump’s appeal of a judge’s order that Trump and two of his adult children, Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump, had to submit to interviews under oath by investigators from James’ office.

Mitt Romney warns NATO countries are hinting they'll seek new allies if Trump is re-elected
"I think if President Trump were to return as president, the nations of the world would say they have to really rethink their own national security and the extent to which they want to be in line with us and be allied with someone else," he elaborated. "You saw that happen during the time President Trump was there. I have had conversations with leaders of other nations now, members of NATO, and they raise this question: we're happy to see you committed to our mutual defense, but we don't know whether you're just committed short-term or whether this is a long-term and permanent commitment. I think it's long-term and permanent."https://twitter.com/kasie/status/1508771217368567809?s=21
