Rubin and Elie Mystal discussed the shocking revelation that Supreme Court Justice flew a reversed “Stop the Steal” flag on his front lawn as the court was considering a 2020 election case. The revelation came not long after we learned that Justice Clarence Thomas gives the distinct appearance of having broken the law by dodging taxes on a forgiven RV loan.
It's long overdue for Democrats to stop wringing their hands and start doing something about it.
Mystal noted that it was already obvious from Alito’s and Thomas’ written opinions and comments at oral arguments that they support the insurrection and are doing everything they can to help Trump evade prosecution and accountability for his crimes.

The Washington Post makes clear that the Trump administration wanted lenders to be able to make expensive loans to low-income borrowers that they could not afford to repay.
The dispute began in 2017, when the watchdog agency issued rules preventing payday lenders from offering expensive loans to low-income Americans who could not afford to pay the money back.
Arizona officials have been trying to locate former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani to serve him with an indictment after a grand jury indicted 18 people in late April over an alleged attempt to alter the results of the 2020 presidential election. So, Giuliani took to Xitter to taunt the authorities at his 80th birthday party in Palm Beach, saying in part, "If Arizona authorities can't find me by tomorrow morning, they must dismiss the indictment." And, of course, Giuliani was served.
