Bruce Klopfleisch isn’t holding back today as he breaks down Justice Clarence Thomas’s recent lecture at UT, calling out the partisan hackery and what he sees as a dangerous misrepresentation of our nation’s founding documents. On a brighter note, we’re digging into some “good news” regarding Virginia’s redistricting wins and some surprising new polling out of Texas that might have the GOP establishment sweating a bit. To wrap things up, Bruce highlights a major story the mainstream media is totally ignoring—the ongoing US military drone strikes on civilian fishing boats that are leaving a trail of “war crimes” in their wake.

Bruce Klopfleisch dives into the latest Supreme Court drama, breaking down why he thinks the MAGA-aligned bench is doing Steve Bannon some serious favors while ignoring legal precedents. Bruce lays out a practical roadmap for reforming the court, ranging from age limits to jurisdiction stripping, before pivoting to a much-needed “good news” segment. You’ll hear why recent election results and a massive surge in small-donor fundraising have him feeling surprisingly optimistic about the momentum heading into the midterms.
