  The Washington Post reports that a conservative activist group led by Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, raised nearly $600,000 in anonymous donations over three years. The donations were funneled through a right-wing think tank to hide the group’s activities from the public.

I recommend turning off electronic devices and keeping the study area as quiet and distraction-free as possible. The Pomod...
