At the start of each Supreme Court, the Roman Catholic Church invites justices and other members of the law profession to come to the so-called "Red Mass," a Christian service that welcomes all denominations to hear the spiritual guidance of the Washington, D.C bishop. It was so named because during the Middle Ages, the priests would wear red vestments, which were to symbolize the Holy Spirit.

The Washington Post revealed that the message to the justices who attended the service was one that began with prayers “that the Holy Spirit may constantly draw" judges and law enforcement's "attention to the least among us.” They also called for “peace in our world, especially in Ukraine."

Daily Beast columnist Wajahat Ali and comedian Dean Obeidallah were sounding the alarm about Justice Clarence Thomas and his activist wife Ginni, both of whom have been attacked over the past year for their involvement in the attempt to overthrow the 2020 election.

MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan started off his Sunday show asking, "Why aren't Democrats making more of this Ginni Thomas issue? Why haven't they made more of this issue? Why do they always bring a butter knife to a gunfight with the GOP?"

Donald Trump repeated his lies at a Michigan rally Saturday about the 2020 election having been stolen from him by voter fraud. And MAGA voters were urged by Pillow Man Mike Lindell and other speakers to wait until November 8 to vote.

But the Michigan Republican Party apparently hadn’t received the memo. Just hours before Trump put on his QAnon-scored spectacle, here’s what the state party had tweeted:

A private plane took off in Texas with a group of migrants who signed bogus waivers handed to them by a woman only known as "Perla." Now the woman has been found, the New York Times reported Sunday.

According to the report, the woman is Perla Huerta, "a former combat medic and counterintelligence agent, was discharged last month after two decades in the U.S. Army that included several deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, according to military records.”

Former President Donald Trump is facing a number of lawsuits involving financial issues and campaign problems. When it comes to Trump's annual proclamations of his net worth, he's been putting a disclaimer on them to claim that it could be "off."

Speaking to Fox's Sean Hannity, Trump made it clear that his "disclaimer" that is "right on the front... basically says, you know, get your own people. You're at your own risk .... It may be way off."

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) spoke to the press while in Arcadia, Florida on Sunday and claimed that Hurricane Ian wasn't aimed at Ft. Myers when they were doing evacuations and that they assumed it was going to hit Tampa.

"Well, was your industry stationed when the storm hit? Was it in Lee County? No, you were in Tampa. So, they were following the weather track and they had to make decisions based on that. But, you know, 72 hours they weren't even in the cone. At 48 hours they were on the periphery. So, you've got to make decisions the best you can," said DeSantis.

On Sunday, a Lee County man was working on clearing debris from his home when CNN's Jim Acosta approached him to ask how they fared through Hurricane Ian.

The man showed Acosta the damage to the home, the most significant parts were at the back of the home because the house is on a canal.

WASHINGTON — Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was on Capitol Hill Thursday to speak to the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

Earlier this year, the committee revealed that Thomas was part of an effort to block the certification of President Joe Biden's 2020 election win. Among other things, Thomas showed up in text messages to Donald Trump's chief of staff, Mark Meadows, and pressured Arizona lawmakers to use the power of the legislature to change the state's electoral votes from Joe Biden to Trump.

The world of QAnon was headed for a future of infamous ridicule after spending weeks in Dallas, Texas waiting for John F. Kennedy Jr. to rise from the dead to join their ranks. The hope was that Donald Trump's loss and the mockery of the Dallas conspiracies would tamp down what has become a kind of cult, according to GOP officials, political analysts, former law enforcement, and even ex-Q members.

Before the 2016 election, QAnon conspiracy theories about a sex-trafficking ring in the basement of a family pizza place inspired a gunman to show up and terrorize a whole neighborhood.

"Escape from Alcatraz" showed the dedicated work of prisoners who were able to craft dummies of themselves to fool guards making the rounds of the cells for the prisoner count. That's the same tactic that Las Vegas pipe-bomber Porfirio Duarte-Herrera used when he staged his escape on Tuesday, the Daily Beast reported Thursday.

Duarte-Herrera was serving a life sentence after setting up a motion-activated pipe bomb in a coffee cup that killed a hot dog stand worker in 2007.

New York Times reporter Charlie Savage wrote in his Wednesday piece that it is quickly becoming clear that Donald Trump may be regretting his request for a special master in the Mar-a-Lago documents investigation.

Trump reportedly thought he could delay the investigation into the stolen documents that he stashed at Mar-a-Lago, but his ploy appears to have backfired.

Some Republicans have tried to stop the Electoral Count Reform and Presidential Transition Improvement Act from passing the U.S. Senate -- including Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), who fought the bill from making it out of the Senate Rules Committee to a full Senate vote, the Washington Post reported Wednesday.

The bill is Sen. Susan Collins' (R-ME) attempt to reinforce laws that the vice president has no power unilaterally reject certified election results, as former President Donald Trump urged Vice President Mike Pence to do.

Questions surfaced after Justice Clarence Thomas was the only member of the U.S. Supreme Court to oppose the release of Mark Meadows' texts and information to the Jan. 6 committee. It turned out that in those text messages that the justice didn't want revealed were communications with his wife.

Former Rep. Denver Riggleman (R-VA), wrote in his new book that he thinks Justice Thomas is far more involved in his wife Ginni Thomas' 2020 election overthrow attempts.
