Do a Google search on it. Politico ran a pic with some Democratic Senators eating dinner and they claimed that one of the women pictured was Sotomayor, implying that she missed oral arguments that day, but was cavorting around with Democratic Senators while mask-less at dinner.

It turned out that the women in question was Schumer's wife. Politico since said they didn't even bother to follow their own standards before running the story with the pic, which means they were more interested in pushing an anti-Democratic agenda rather than any sort of journalistic standards.

That, combined with the slow drip of other problems they've had for years, convinced me to just shut them off for good. Any news they manage to break will be broken by other, more reputable sources -- if true; therefore, no need for me to ever bother with them again.
