Clarence on a Familiar Yacht

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has received free luxury vacations - including private jets, yachts, private resorts, and overseas trips - from a wealthy GOP donor for decades, without ever reporting it on any disclosures. The ethical lapses and corruption further undermines public trust in the Supreme Court. It continues Thomas’s reputation of questionable behavior, including his refusal to recuse himself from cases that tangentially involve his wife, back to his sexual harassment of Anita Hill. We deserve better.

Bureaucracy

San Francisco bureaucracy focuses on the wrong things. See this article for the backstory.

A San Francisco woman was faced with a $1,400 bill to keep her “Little Free Library” in front of her house after one complaint, even though it’s been there for years. I love these little library boxes that dot the city. There’s one on my block. They’re a great community addition.

I love San Francisco. But in a city that suffers from the ongoing drug epidemic and struggles with too many fentanyl overdoses, stories like this illustrate where the city bureaucrats focus on the wrong things.
