Clarence Thomas‘ many financial scandals. On the heels of the revelation that billionaire GOP donor Harlan Crow paid potentially in excess of $150,000 to send Thomas’ grandnephew, whom he was raising himself, to a private school, the MSNBC hosts made their skepticism of the justice clear.
“Once again, it’s really hard not to see how this Supreme Court justice was not exposed to having his objectivity impacted — let’s just say it kindly — by all the gifts over the course of decades by a Republican donor,” Brzezinski said. “We try and be objective ourselves, but it’s hard not to notice his wife texting Mark Meadows and being completely involved in certain things that seem to be part of the ‘Big Lie.’ And then you wonder, ‘What is going on?'”Additional gifts to the justice include using Crow’s private plane, vacationing on Crow’s 162-foot super-yacht and spending time in resorts owned by the real estate developer.
Brzezinski was also referring to the hot water Ginni Thomas fond herself in during the Jan. 6 committee hearing.
After the 2020 election, she was found to have sent texts to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, urging him to stand with Donald Trump as the former president claimed there was mass fraud in the election and called the election a “heist.” Scarborough dubbed Clarence Thomas’ latest scandal with Crow the latest in a “horrible two years, two and a half years for Justice Thomas’ legacy.” He also called out Republicans who are trying to dismiss this story, saying, “I can’t even begin to imagine what would happen” what their response would be if a similar story came out about a Democratic justice like Sonia Sotomayor or Elena Kagan. “Let’s be really clear about this: Everybody at this table would be

Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor Elon Musk claims he’s hired someone to replace him as CEO of Twitter. But for now, the tech tycoon isn’t revealing who that is. “Excited to announce that I’ve hired a new CEO for X/Twitter,” the mega-billionaire tweeted Thursday. “She will be starting in ~6 weeks! My role will transition to being exec chair & CTO, overseeing product, software & sysops.” Back in December, Musk said he would step aside as Twitter’s chief executive once he found “someone foolish enough” to take over the role. Even then, however, the billionaire will retain control of the social network and remain closely involved in running it. Musk closed a $44 billion deal for Twitter in October 2022, but he’s since said he now values the company at less than half that — at $20 billion.

now-infamous town hall performance on CNN, Scarborough suggested that Trump’s continued stoking of grievances and falsehoods is playing to a dwindling base. By doubling down, the former president will be snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, he said.“If Donald Trump had dropped all of this garbage and talked about the economy in 2018 and 2019, he would’ve been re-elected,” Scarborough said Thursday morning on MSNBC. “You look at the map, you look at the numbers, it could’ve happened.

Donald Trump’s nickname for the Democratic nominee going into the 2024 presidential election gives you a bout of deja vu.

That’s like going into a diner and the only things on the menu are two-day-old egg salad and Donald Trump,” the “Late Night” host joked. “I guess I’ll take my chances with the egg salad!”Meyers then turned his attention to Biden’s apparent new slogan.
