Sign the petition: Impeach Clarence Thomas! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

 

THERE IS NO INDICATION THAT CLARENCE THOMAS PAID INCOME TAX ON THE GENEROUS AMOUNTS THAT GINNI THOMAS WAS PAID!

THE MAGA GOP HOUSE NEEDS TO DO THEIR JOB! 




John Oliver has had enough of Clarence Thomas’ ethics scandals. On his TV show, Oliver offered Clarence Thomas a luxury motor coach and $1 million per year to resign from the Supreme Court.1 Ridiculous right? But it also sounds a little too familiar.

That’s because Clarence Thomas has accepted luxury mega-yacht vacations and expensive gifts for years from GOP billionaire mega-donor Harlan Crow (without disclosing any of them to the public).2

And that’s just the beginning of his ethics scandals. Another revolves around his decision to switch his position on a legal theory in order to side with Big Oil giant Chevron in a landmark case after his wife reportedly accepted secret payments from a shadowy conservative network who was advocating for this change.3 And his failure to recuse himself in a case where he could gut environmental protections to help Big Oil.

Sign the petition: Clarence Thomas’ slew of ethics scandals shows he shouldn’t be on the Supreme Court. It’s time to impeach Clarence Thomas!

When did Clarence Thomas start receiving these secret gifts? Well, Thomas complained about salary for Supreme Court Justices two decades ago, and Republicans worried he may step down from SCOTUS. Then, Thomas began receiving the lavish gifts, luxury superyacht vacations, and secretive income from GOP mega-donors.4

Thomas’ failure to disclose all of these gifts, vacations, and income have scandalized the Supreme Court for months and months. And this failure to disclose breaks the law according to two ethics experts.5

If we want to stop Thomas’ long list of unethical behavior and ensure the integrity of the high court, the U.S. House MUST impeach Thomas.

Add your name: Impeach Clarence Thomas!

Thanks for taking action,

Joey and the team at Demand Progress

Why we are prepping so much

 

Real Justice

We’ve faced some vicious attacks from our well-funded opponents in the past 2 years.

From multi-million dollar efforts to smear campaigns to recalls, impeachments, and suspensions, our movement to elect pro-civil rights DAs has been up against some serious opposition. 

And while we succeeded in growing our movement in 2022, we know that 2023 won’t be an easy year because our opponents will work even harder to stop our momentum.

Before we recap some of our hardest fought battles with you, can you ensure that we have the resources to be ready for any and all attacks in the new year against our District Attorneys and all of their life-saving work by making a donation today? 

In Los Angeles, there have been TWO attempts to recall Los Angeles DA George Gascón. Both attempts have failed to make the ballot and were bankrolled with over $1 million from GOP mega-donors.

Supporters of the second recall are challenging the decision in court, and a judge is allowing them to review the signatures in an attempt to get the recall on the ballot.

In Virginia, conservatives have launched TWO recall attempts against Fairfax DA Steve Descano and ONE against Arlington and Falls Church DA Parisa Deghani-Tafti. 

Just like in California, these efforts were bankrolled by conservative mega-donors and are based on the flawed idea that because Steve and Parisa work to address the root causes of crime instead of simply relying on the failed policies of mass incarceration, they are somehow “soft on crime.”

Luckily, these efforts didn’t make the ballot, but with Steve and Parisa facing re-election in 2023, we know that conservatives are going to go ALL IN to defeat them so we need to defend these bold champions.

In Florida, Governor DeSantis suspended State Attorney Warren in Tampa for signing a letter stating that he wouldn’t use his prosecutorial discretion to focus on prosecuting women for having abortions.

In a document, DeSantis’ team literally said that one of the benefits of the suspension is “a leftist prosecutor is removed from a position of power.” Now, Warren is currently challenging the suspension in court.

In New York, Republicans are trying to pass a constitutional amendment to establish public recall elections for District Attorneys. 

And of course in San Francisco, conservative mega-donors spent over $6 million to successfully recall DA Chesa Boudin. One of the leaders of the recall who was paid six figures by a nonprofit linked the recall, Brooke Jenkins, was then appointed as DA. This has been one of our toughest losses for Real Justice.

Jenkins has worked to undo Chesa’s work by signaling to directly impacted families that she won’t prosecute police for misconduct, restarting the failed war-on-drugs by sending drug users to jail, expanding widespread surveillance that allows police to access doorbell cameras, charging kids as adults, and increasing mass incarceration.

All of this to say that we are serious when we say that we are up against powerful special interests and big opposition — and if we don’t respond swiftly and powerfully, it can really set back our movement like what we saw in SF.  

That’s why we need to be prepared to defend our District Attorneys and FIGHT BACK at a moment’s notice. If you are able, can you make sure we are in a good place to do just that by making sure we hit our End of Year goal with a gift right now?

Thank you SO much,

Real Justice

Headstart

 



Adam Schiff for Congress


In two days, all campaigns — Republican, Democratic, and everything in between — will report their first quarter fundraising numbers to the Federal Election Commission (FEC).

We already know Kevin McCarthy raised over $31 million this quarter and scores of other GOP candidates will post massive hauls to take back the House and Senate.

Republicans are rallying and re-energizing their right-wing base and high-dollar donors to reclaim control of Congress. And their efforts could work. The GOP is trying to gain momentum by spreading false information and attacking Democrats like Adam every chance they get.

One thing we can count on – and that the GOP doesn’t have – is you. Grassroots supporters are the lifeblood of our movement to protect our Democratic majorities and keep our country moving forward.

In 2020, you helped Adam protect our majority in the House, secure the Senate by the narrowest of margins, and send President Biden to the White House. While we’re up against big challenges during this midterm election cycle, we’re confident this grassroots team is up to the task.

By chipping in a grassroots donation whenever possible, you’re ensuring new and incumbent Democrats have the resources necessary to win.

So, can you pitch in $10, $25, or $50 right now to give us a headstart for this fundraising quarter and help us protect and expand our slim Democratic majorities?


Thank you for everything you do — we’re sincerely grateful you’re a part of our team.
