New report that Donald Trump wanted to add racist grifter Laura Loomer to his campaign for the White House in 2024.

Loomer has extensive connections to neo-Nazis and white supremacists. During her failed bid for a congressional seat in Florida, she was supported by then ally, Milo Yiannopoulos, when then went on to work with Nick Fuentes and Kanye West.

Loomer was also a recent speaker at the white supremacist, "American Renaissance" conference, known for hosting such neo-Nazis as Richard Spencer, Nick Fuentes, and David Duke.

@GreenFire @1finekitty IIRC there is a legal argument for ignoring *this* ruling, based on the authority of federal courts over the FDA's approval process and legal precedent about this particular subject. This has been articulated by Ron Wyden (someone I respect way more than AOC at this point).

AOC instead seems to be arguing "the courts are not legitimate so we can ignore them", which is not the same argument, and also definitely not something we want to see members of Congress saying.

This is β€œmy” young male resident Anna’s #Hummingbird. Fortunate to have them here, in the #Seattle area year round.

These little winged wonders flutter their wings at a remarkable 80 times per second! They do NOT flap their wings, they rotate them in a figure 8.

Who knows? Maybe the guy thought CNN was interested in who’s playing the Grand Old Opry this season. πŸ˜„πŸ˜„

I've been here on mastodon.art for a week, and I feel really welcome. It's nice to find an instance where I can be my romantic/curious/erotic/strange self, and somehow fit right in. Thanks for being rad!

U.S. Politics, Clarence Thomas 

By now you've likely seen the reports of Thomas accepting gifts worth over half a million, annually, from his wealthy Republican friends, Harlan Crow and his wife.

Now come the big guns defending Thomas---he can't be corrupt, because he's a supreme court justice, so his actions, can't be criminal or even ethically questionable, even if they'd get anyone else fired and investigated.

Expand the motherfucking court already.

Hard to believe this poem is exactly 1.5 million years old today.

@copter_chief he’s either going to be taken down by one of his inner circle or by a foreign operator, either way, this ends in his death, not a trial. My best guess.

Via Lawrence Tribe:

Joyce Vance is right: #Tennessee just violated the First Amendment. And by doing it along racial lines, it violated the Equal Protection Clause as well. And, to complete the Trifecta, it violated the Art. IV guarantee of a Republican Form of Government. All in a day’s work! #legal
