Justice Roberts refused to testify in a hearing on Supreme Court ethics.

Thomas secretly accepted gifts from a GOP megadonor and his wife was involved in Jan 6.

Alito flew not one, but two insurrectionist flags.

The list goes on.

Is it any wonder Americans don't trust SCOTUS?

@ThomHartmann related that there's no enforcement backing for any decision if doesn't make it

If their decisions are ridiculously the only weight they actually have are our respect for them

Boeing shareholders approved a $33M pay package for CEO Dave Calhoun, despite overseeing huge losses and safety problems.

It's the biggest package ever given to a Boeing CEO.

Calhoun is resigning by year's end. Guess what he gets then?

A $45 million golden parachute.

Unreal.

The Biden Admin's rule limiting credit card late fees was set to begin tomorrow.

But a Trump-appointed judge blocked it at the request of the Chamber of Commerce — costing U.S. families an estimated $27 million a day.

MAGA and corporate interests want to keep ripping you off.

Wondering if wealth inequality is out of control?

Well, Jeff Bezos made over $7.9 million an hour last year.

In just 13 minutes, he made the equivalent of what a typical person earns in a lifetime.

Don't tell me that the rich can't afford a wealth tax.

Judge Cannon has postponed Trump's classified documents trial and didn't set a new start date.

The Supreme Court is slow walking Trump's presidential immunity claim, which has delayed his Jan 6 trial.

The federal judiciary is effectively acting like a MAGA campaign arm.

Which is why, when the talks about they're actually talking about controlling & bodies

Our 'nation of laws' does us zero good when laws shelter abusers

The world's billionaires now hold a combined $14.2 trillion in assets.

That exceeds the GDP of every country in the world except the US and China.

And we’re supposed to believe the ultra-wealthy can’t afford a wealth tax?

@rbreich I really hate looking at ticks. It really cost me, psychically, to find that image. Sorry I can't fix it, but I think y'all have the idea

Funny how wealthy Americans will readily accuse Biden of “buying votes” with student debt forgiveness but had no issue with Trump signing massive tax cuts for themselves. Hello?

But Biden never seems to call them on it..
