CONTROL THE BOTTOM FIVE PERCENT AND SOCIETY LOOKS A LOT NICER:

MAJOR DISCOVERY:

HMM:

Sonia Sotomayor is divorced now, but she did have a white spouse when she was married.

OPEN THREAD: Comment on a groovy Tuesday.

THE ACCOUNTABILITY TRAIN SEEMS TO BE ROLLING:

One gets the sense that the honest view of our exasperated political elites is as captured in a Bloomberg News headline from last year which read: “2024 is a year of elections, and that’s a threat to democracy.”

They must be taught not to do that.
