Just wrote a thing for @takebackthect.bsky.social about
the Kochs bankrolling a Supreme Court case and also a Supreme Court justice (Clarence Thomas, natch) and how just basically awful that all is: https://takebackthecourt.substack.com/p/the-supreme-courts-relentless-corruption?r=27fvr9&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcome=true

  The Supreme Court's Relentless Corruption
  
  from Take Back The Court
  
  Tomorrow, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in two related cases, Loper Bright v Raimondo and Relentless v Department of Commerce, in which conservatives are trying to do away with 40 years of Supreme Court precedent and basic common sense by shifting responsibility for the most minute details of government regulation – think “exactly how much chicken feces can safely be in the wings you eat during the Super Bowl,” and then keep in mind that there are an inconceivably large number of similarly complex decisions that help keep you alive and healthy – from the hundreds of thousands of scientists and subject matter experts employed by federal government agencies to the various Matt Gaetzes and Lauren Boeberts who comprise the United States Congress and, perhaps even more frighteningly, to the nine members of the Supreme Court itself.

  Tomorrow some Koch-funded lawyers are going to the Supreme Court to argue a Koch-funded case before a Koch-funded Supreme Court justice, who has likely already read several Koch-funded amicus briefs filed in the case. https://takebackthecourt.substack.com/p/the-supreme-courts-relentless-corruption
