There is an ethics crisis at the Supreme Court: Clarence Thomas not recusing himself from cases involving the 2020 election, when Ginni Thomas was actively involved in urging the Trump White House to back a plan to overturn the election.
We are dealing with a world in which one of the richest media magnates in the world, Rupert Murdoch, exploits the spread of white supremacy and violence to get richer.
It is a little hard for me to take the hand-wringing about non-violent protests outside the homes of Supreme Court Justices seriously when the Supreme Court itself ruled protests outside the homes of *doctors who provide abortions* is protected by the 1st amendment.
“Eastman advised that a state legislature should concoct a fig leaf justification for declaring the correct Biden electors certified by the governor invalid and certifying Trump electors instead.” This is key to their plans for 2024:

Sources for his draft Roe v. Wade opinion include a witch-fearing misogynist from the 17th century. https://t.co/TBq7hkMH4I
My 4-step plan:
1. Pass a Senate Rule by a majority vote to get rid of the filibuster.
2. Pass HR 3755, the Women’s Health Protection Act of 2021, to protect medical services including abortion the way Roe v Wade did.
3. Pass the Thirteen Justices Act.
4. Appoint 4 new justices.
You know who had a heartbeat? Every child murdered in their school because Republicans are the party of mass shooters. This isn’t about heartbeats. This is about criminalizing women.
The Department of Homeland Security under former President Donald Trump delayed and altered an intelligence report related to Russian interference in the 2020 election, according to a newly released watchdog report https://t.co/4WFF3Y1koe
On Air Force One today @POTUS#Biden cited Griswold v. CT in talking about the draft #SCOTUS#abortion decision, saying Court seeks to overturn not only Roe v Wade, but also the privacy protections in Griswold: contraception, interracial & same-gender sex/marriage, etc.

Just a reminder that Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh had described Roe v Wade “settled as precedent” in his Senate confirmation hearing, while Justice Neil Gorsuch said it was “settled law” during his hearing.
Former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows is accusing the congressional committee investigating last year’s attack on the U.S. Capitol of leaking all of the text messages he provided to the panel as part of an effort to vilify him publicly. https://t.co/ESNRODmj7h
The leaked texts from GOP congressmen show how they tried to pull off the biggest illegal action in U.S. political history, @ruthbenghiat writes. https://t.co/Bn6nQnCcoh
This decision to allow a USSS agent - who is sworn to be above politics -to serve as a Presidential political adviser crossed a major line for @SecretService. It was approved by current director James Murray at Trump’s urging, a decision that infuriated current and former agents

“Chilling” may be an understatement. Read this article. Every day the picture becomes more clear & we get more details on the GOP’s attempted coup!

How much longer must we live with the mad notion & real possibility that the man who incited a deadly insurrection & coup attempt, ended our country’s commitment to the peaceful transfer of power, and continues to perpetuate the mass delusion of election fraud could run in 2024?
Mark Meadows had advance intelligence reports of possible violence on Jan. 6 yet he & Trump did NOTHING to protect the US Capitol. In fact, they DEPRIVED the US Capitol of most all executive branch law enforcement resources. #JusticeMatters https://t.co/x2LOY9ExBw via @YouTube
