In exchange for as little as a few thousand dollars in contributions to the nonprofit, these people received easy access to events where Supreme Court justices would be. Supreme Court Historical society trustee Jay Sekulow, center, represented President Trump during the latter's impeachment trial in 2020. Anti-abortion advocates cheer in front of the Supreme Court after the decision in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores was announced in 2014. Alito did not respond to a request for comment on his involvement in the Supreme Court Historical Society. Supreme Court justices, though, aren't even required to stay within those weak guardrails because no code of ethics governs justices' behavior.
☆ Buffalo stores' shelves are bare as people try desperately to restock groceries and essential items after deadly winter storm

Buffalo grocery stores are struggling to keep up with heavy demand after reopening in the wake of Winter Storm Elliott. Local outlets reported bare shelves and a lack of items including fresh produce, bread, and eggs. Response to the storm, and lack of access to essential items, has shed light on structural inequality in the city. Unfortunately they ran out of lunch meat, brown beef, bread, but hopefully we can find everything we want," Carl Phillips and Sandra Jackson told WIVB Buffalo. WIVB Buffalo reporter Sarah Minkewicz shared photos of the empty shelves on Twitter.
☆ Supreme Court weighs web designer’s refusal to work on same-sex weddings

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday hears the latest clash between religious conservatives and LGBTQ rights as it weighs a conservative evangelical Christian web designer's bid to avoid working on same-sex weddings. Lower courts ruled against Smith, prompting her to appeal to the Supreme Court. The remaining 21 states do not have laws explicitly protecting LGBTQ rights in public accommodations, although some local municipalities do. The court ruled on the baker case before the retirement of Justice Anthony Kennedy, who voted in favor of LGBTQ rights in key cases. In another major victory for LGBTQ rights, the Supreme Court in 2020 ­— to the surprise of many court-watchers ­­— ruled that a federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in employment protects LGBTQ employees.

That?s why today - on Black Friday - we are closed and we are giving nature a hand." REUTERS/Christian LevauxGHENT, Belgium, Nov 25 (Reuters) - Black Friday deals have prompted a backlash in Belgium where some businesses rejected promotions and chose to close for the day or even offered to repair used clothes for free. At the Xandres clothing store, in the Flemish city of Ghent, a sign on the window read "Green Friday - closed on November 25 - get your clothes repaired for free". On Friday company staff were fixing customers' clothes at the company's headquarters. In coming days, customers can collect their repaired clothing at the company's stores.
☆ University of Florida students protest against Ben Sasse’s anti-LGBTQ past
  + stars: | 2022-10-12 | by ( Zachary Schermele | ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +8 min
Hundreds of University of Florida students held protests this week criticizing the anticipated appointment of Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., to lead the school. Sasse has said that as university president, he would do his best to represent the views of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer students. But for some, his candidacy has called to mind the university’s anti-LGBTQ history and the extent to which many of them feel it continues to sideline their needs and experiences, four LGBTQ students told NBC News. The university’s LGBTQ+ Affairs office, for example, has a high staff turnover rate, he said. He said a “silver lining” of the protests was that many LGBTQ students made their concerns more widely known.
☆ 4 S&P 500 renews slide, hits near two-year low

Even if the inflation data gets better with the next report in mid-October, we won’t know how the Fed will react to it. There is a good case for that to happen if we get some inflation data that is a lot less scary than the last report." "(The support level for the S&P is) "a stretch at 3400, maybe 3200 and the worst case is probably 3000." But in terms of a sustained rally, I think it really takes anticipating the end of Fed rate hikes."
☆ Donald Trump’s bizarre altar call in Ohio

And rather than worship the divine, the crowd was there to herald the malign: Donald Trump and his brand of hateful, intentionally divisive politics. Similar to a creed, Trump shared his litany of election-denial lies that have come to constitute the Republican Party platform. The intentional coupling of MAGA politics with religious imagery isn’t merely a rhetorical act, either. Trump’s Ohio rally is hardly the only recent example of a politician appropriating religious symbols to seize power. Here, too, Christians are speaking out against his hijacking of the church for right-wing politics.
