“Associated Press obtained tens of thousands of pages of emails and other documents that reveal the extent to which public colleges and universities have seen visits by justices as opportunities to generate donations -– regularly putting #SCOTUS justices in the room with influential donors, including some whose industries have had interests before the court.”

Joyce Vance looks at what Alabama Republican senator Turbeville is doing, holding up more than 250 military promotions and, as of yesterday, causing the Marines to be without a Senate-confirmed commandant. Tuberville opposes the military's policy permitting enlistees to access reproductive health care of ouf state when necessary.
Republicans as a party supporting the military? Hardly, she concludes.

"Trump supporters are consolidating around the former president and so-called Christian democracy. They are enforcing loyalty so tightly that the far-right House Freedom Caucus recently expelled Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) either because she is too close to House speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) or because she called Representative Lauren Boebert (R-CO) a 'little bitch' on the floor of Congress, or both."

http://calendar.eji.org/racial-injustice/jul/11 In South Carolina, where 55 Council chapters were active by July 1956, 17 Black parents were fired or evicted from their farms within two weeks of signing a pro-integration petition in the small town of Elloree. In Yazoo County, Mississippi, when 53 Black residents signed an NAACP petition for integration, the local Council published their names in a newspaper ad, leading to harassment, firing, and credit cancellation. In the end, all signers removed their names from the petition and the Yazoo County NAACP disbanded.

It ought to be stunning that #Alabama’s contract review committee on Thursday reapproved 26 deals paying up to $14.9 million to one lawyer – Bill Lunsford – to defend the state’s disgraceful prison system.

The biggest Federal Scam of all time related to COVID relief. Who are you going to blame? https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/covid-relief-scam-fraud-money-billions-1234784448/ You might wonder how much debt the USA can handle before we tip over? One of the fundamental problems is the GOP constantly promising to lower taxes, with the goal of eradicate social spending, that lowers the wealthy people’s taxes by millions and you average citizen get $100 off. We need a discussion about taxes and how we spend our tax money. A talk less likely from the GOP.

"That a Republican is undermining the military belies the party’s traditional claim to be stronger on military issues than the Democrats. So does the attack of House Republicans on our nation’s key law enforcement entities—the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation—after traditionally insisting their party works to defend 'law and order.'”
