Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was spotted at the Capitol on Monday — and no one knows exactly why.

This comes after a blockbuster day of Supreme Court opinions that included upholding current state mail ballot counting systems and a massive transformation of the administrative state in President Donald Trump's favor; it also comes as the court is set to deliver its final opinions of the term, including a landmark decision about whether Trump can abolish birthright citizenship.

Clarence Thomas makes mysterious Capitol visit as medical rumors swirl: 'That's not good'

According to at least one reporter on Capitol Hill, Republicans believe the 78-year-old far-right jurist was there for medical reasons.

"Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was just in the Capitol," wrote Politico's Meredith Lee Hill. "He declined to answer questions about why he was here as he left the House side. He did not meet with House GOP leadership and Rs believe he was here for the House physician office, per sources."

MS NOW reporter Mychael Schnell could not ascertain this, but confirmed the secretive nature of Thomas' presence on the Hill.

"Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas just walked through the House side of the Capitol," she said. "He didn’t say why he was here. But told me he was meeting with 'nobody.' I said tomorrow will be a big day at the court. 'I guess so,' he responded. Would he give a sneak peak of decisions? 'Nope,' he told me with a chuckle."

The whole situation raised eyebrows among political observers, with former President Barack Obama spokesperson TJ Adams Falconer posting a GIF of "Veep" protagonist Selina Meyer saying, "Well, that's (expletive) ... not good."

Thomas, who has served on the Supreme Court since 1991 and is currently its most senior justice, has thus far rebuffed all calls from Republican legal strategists to step down and allow Trump to replace him with someone younger.

CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October

CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October

The post CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. CME Group is preparing to launch options on SOL and XRP futures next month, giving traders new ways to manage exposure to the two assets.  The contracts are set to go live on October 13, pending regulatory approval, and will come in both standard and micro sizes with expiries offered daily, monthly and quarterly. The new listings mark a major step for CME, which first brought bitcoin futures to market in 2017 and added ether contracts in 2021. Solana and XRP futures have quickly gained traction since their debut earlier this year. CME says more than 540,000 Solana contracts (worth about $22.3 billion), and 370,000 XRP contracts (worth $16.2 billion), have already been traded. Both products hit record trading activity and open interest in August. Market makers including Cumberland and FalconX plan to support the new contracts, arguing that institutional investors want hedging tools beyond bitcoin and ether. CME’s move also highlights the growing demand for regulated ways to access a broader set of digital assets. The launch, which still needs the green light from regulators, follows the end of XRP’s years-long legal fight with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. A federal court ruling in 2023 found that institutional sales of XRP violated securities laws, but programmatic exchange sales did not. The case officially closed in August 2025 after Ripple agreed to pay a $125 million fine, removing one of the biggest uncertainties hanging over the token. This is a developing story.
