Justice Clarence Thomas failed to publicly disclose additional private travel provided by the wealthy conservative donor Harlan Crow, a top Democratic senator said in a letter on Monday.

Customs and Border Protection records revealed that the justice and his wife, Virginia Thomas, took a round trip between Hawaii and New Zealand in November 2010 on Mr. Crow’s private jet, according to the letter. Senator Ron Wyden, Democrat of Oregon, writing to Mr. Crow’s lawyer, demanded that he supply more information about the financial relationship between the two men.

The letter, part of an inquiry that Mr. Wyden, the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, has opened into Mr. Crow and the justice, comes as top Democrats have urged major changes to the Supreme Court, including an enforceable code of conduct.

A federal U.S. judge ruled Monday that Google
has illegally held a monopoly in two market areas: search and text advertising.

The landmark case from the government alleged that Google has kept its share of the general search market by creating strong barriers to entry and a feedback loop that sustained its dominance. The court found that Google violated Section 2 of the Sherman Act, which outlaws monopolies.

Wall Street's stock sell-off intensified in a major way Monday as concerns mounted over the health of the US economy. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) fell over 1,000 points. The Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) was crushed by more than 3.4%. The S&P 500's (^GSPC) losses cascaded nearly 3% in its worst day since 2022, capping its worst start to any month since 2002.

Wall Street's "fear gauge" — the CBOE Volatility Index (^VIX) — touched its highest level since the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, before retreating. Treasury yields fell, with the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield (^TNX) hovering near 3.8%.

Pretty much exactly why the Great Depression happened in the first place, because of rich investors getting scared by a sudden drop in stock prices and then the common man went to get their savings from banks, which caused those banks to default, spiraling the worth of the American dollar downward until even more banks closed due to an overrun of demand for withdrawals.

Just saw the video from one of the cops.

"I rebuke you in the name of Jesus" he took as a threat while she's there with two armed cops in her home. What's she gonna do, throw fucking water at you dude?

Hope he gets life in prison.

This is from a few days ago but this is such a fantastic interview and I'd be so proud to see him become Vice President.

the entire planet ran by "feelings"

It's went to the extremely far left in one respect and to the far right in the other. Neither are the answer. Being in the middle centre ground and being moderate in views can you see the correct way. I listen to both are arguments then I seek the truth.

Vice President Harris has chosen Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to be her running mate, opting for a former high school teacher and Midwestern Democrat to complete a newly assembled presidential ticket, according to three people familiar with the pick, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a decision that is not yet public.
