  2. Democratic lawmakers revived their calls for Supreme Court Justice #Clarence #Thomas to resign from his position Thursday after a new ProPublica report revealed he had taken more #unreported #luxury #vacations funded by billionaires than was previously known.

    “Justice Thomas has brought shame upon himself and the United States Supreme Court with his acceptance of massive, repeated and undisclosed gifts,” Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) said on X, formerly known as Twitter. “No government official, elected or unelected, could ethically or legally accept gifts of that scale. He should resign immediately.”

    ProPublica found that since he was appointed to the court in 1991, Thomas has received gifts from benefactors including at least 38 destination vacations, 34 flights by private jet or helicopter, a dozen VIP passes to sporting events including in a skybox, stays at resorts in Florida and Jamaica and a standing invitation to high-end golf club.

  3. “But a look at his tenure at the #HoratioAlger Assn, based on >2 dozen interviews & a review of public filings & internal docs, shows that #Justice Thomas has received benefits — many of them previously #unreported — from a broader cohort of #wealthy & #powerful friends. They have included major #donors to #conservative causes w/broad #policy & #political interests & much at stake in #SupremeCourt decisions….”

  4. Looks like UC Berkeley has a big oopsie to deal with. High-tech and PRC China do not mix well, but for $220 million in funding, maybe the rules are suddenly unclear and reporting requirements are made flexible. Maybe.

  5. Clarence Thomas has for years claimed income from a defunct real estate firm

    Over the last two decades, Supreme Court Justice #Clarence #Thomas has reported on required #financial #disclosure forms that his family received rental income totaling #hundreds of #thousands of dollars from a firm called Ginger, Ltd., Partnership.
But that company — a Nebraska real estate firm launched in the 1980s by his wife and her relatives — has #not #existed since 2006.

    That year, the family real estate company was shut down and a separate firm was created, state incorporation records show. The similarly named firm assumed control of the shuttered company’s land leasing business, according to property records.

    The previously #unreported #misstatement might be dismissed as a paperwork error. But it is among a series of errors and omissions that Thomas has made on required annual financial disclosure forms over the past several decades, a review of those records shows.

    Together, they have raised questions about #how #seriously Thomas views his #responsibility to accurately report details about his finances to the public.

  7. China reports few Covid deaths since easing restrictions. What CNN sees tells a different story. Same thing happening in India.
