NEW: This all but confirms that MOHELA was being used, against its will, as a pretext for conservative politicians to nullify student debt relief.https://t.co/nYqrVX0PCx

What a cheapskate
Only a dollar? Guess you’re not so sure, are you, Glenn? When I make a bet, it’s because I’m POSITIVE I’m right. I do this all the time with wingnut assholes: “I will bet you $500 that I’m right, and I can’t afford to lose $500. So are YOU willing to bet $500 that you’re right?”
But I think he’s right, for what it’s worth. This is why they haven’t searched Bedminster yet.

Well, hush my mouth
WHOA! The Supreme Court's final decision of the day is a 5–4 ruling that AFFIRMS the Voting Rights Act's protection against racial vote dilution! Roberts and Kavanaugh join the liberals. This is a HUGE surprise and a major voting rights victory. https://t.co/qMN96f0FXr

Today's decision from the U.S. Supreme Court in Allen v. Milligan about Alabama's congressional map will have a far reach. There are currently 30 ongoing redistricting lawsuits in 10 states that stand to be impacted.
These are the cases to watch now.https://t.co/NbWnGMm48r

@Dahlialithwick: "we have reached the part of the show where simply not being punched in the face over and over at the high court counts as a good day."
tl;dr: Chief Justice Roberts is still hostile to voting rights…the arguments just need to be better. https://t.co/YyJhkFwAq7

Hahahaha
Good sign: if Jack Smith had decided against charging Trump, there would be no need for this meeting. The last federal prosecutors often do before indicting is meet with the target’s defense team & give them an opportunity to present any evidence or arguments they want to offer. https://t.co/RR1574xJyG

More goodies from Clarence’s sugar daddy
Harlan Crow, a Republican billionaire, paid for two years of private-school tuition for Justice Clarence Thomas’s great-nephew, a gift that the justice did not disclose, a friend of Thomas acknowledged on Thursday following a report by ProPublica. https://t.co/9ACY3kJarb

Are Republicans inherently corrupt?
Well, since they’re lawless and anti-democratic by nature, this is a rhetorical question. Greenberg Traurig is quite the heavy hitter, and they have many, many cases before the Court:

When I hear people say they don’t want to vote for Biden, I want to scream. Most people, for whatever reason (I suspect they don’t read much or widely) still haven’t connected the dots between who they pick in the voting booth (that is, if they show up at all) and the kind of legal decisions that destroy lives to make corporations happy.
Oh well!
