Clarence Thomas accepted luxury gifts from GOP megadonor for decades without disclosing them: report

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has accepted luxury gifts from a prominent Republican donor for more than 20 years without disclosing them, possibly violating a law that requires justices, judges and members of Congress to disclose most gifts, according to a new report.

Clarence Thomas is just so comically bad and corrupt that he's like a one-person introduction into how terrible our Supreme Court has been for all but about 30 years of this country's existence. - LOLGOP tweet

Dear Gawd, Kansas Makes Genital Inspection Of Students Legal. 

The Kansas state legislature has passed a ban on transgender students participating in female categories in school and college sports, after overriding a veto by the state's Democratic governor.

Laura Kelly had rejected the bill, dubbed the Fairness in Women's Sport Act, on March 17, as well as two previous attempts at similar legislation. Republican lawmakers who introduced the legislation suggested that it would be enforced during a physical examination, which critics have taken to mean a "genital inspection."

We are living in this weird time when free school lunches are an unacceptable burden, but genital inspections are necessary to “protect the kids.” - John Collins tweet
