Is the GOP turning into an anti-democracy movement?
Description
Welcome back to my Saturday coffee klatch with Heather Lofthouse, when we consider the lows and lower points of the week. Today we look at:
— The latest revelations about Clarence Thomas’s corruption — financial gifts from Harlan Crow that by law must be reported. Will Thomas finally be held accountable?
— The district court ruling in Texas that overruled the FDA’s decision that a major abortion medication is safe and effective, which has gone to the Supreme Court. Why did the Supreme Court ever think it could rid itself of the abortion issue?
— Why the Republican position on abortion will be the end of the Republican Party.
— The Dominion Voting Systems $1.6 billion defamation suit against Fox News starts Monday. What’s the best way to ensure that Fox viewers learn that Fox News lied to them about the 2020 election?
— My last few weeks of my last class — now on Substack.
