"Several lawyers who have handled cases before the Supreme Court ... sent money to a top aide of Justice Clarence Thomas, according to the aide's now-private Venmo transaction history."

This is the #FedSoc court and it is as corrupt as the Federalist Society is. #SCOTUS #JusticeThomas

Newly obtained documents shed light on a vast and corrupt right-wing influence network.

Newly obtained documents show that the billion-dollar trust fund given to Leonard Leo — the right-wing attorney and longtime leader the Federalist Society who orchestrated Donald Trump’s Supreme Court picks — has dumped at least $411 million into fueling right-wing infrastructure in the U.S. since mid-2020.

"an openly corrupt institution whose right-wing members are destroying its reputation because they simply do not care how the broader public sees them."

This is the court the #FedSoc built and it is acting like the FedSoc wants them to act. This is a great article but Tomasky misses that important point.

Together, they recruited an "inner core" of #FedSoc members "and recruit[ed] them for either specific roles to serve as judges or to spin up and launch critical projects."

Other shadowy billionaires piled in: #HomeDepot's trumpy founder #BernieMarcus, #CharlesKoch, and Betsy #DeVos and her family. The new "Teneo 2.0" sought to "to help members find jobs, write books, meet spouses, secure start-up financing or nonprofit donors and learn about public service."

Ginni/Clarence Thomas newly relevant, as we find out today that Ginni Thomas talked to Clarence Thomas about the coup.

If Ginni and Clarence Thomas do not face consequences for their couping, they’ll just try it again.

The best option now is a “Senate Thomas/FedSoc Committee” that looks into the corruption of the rightwing justices and any crimes. Model it on the Senate Watergate Committee. And put Sheldon Whitehouse in charge.

@sludge’s kind of reporting is so important today — in the era where our FedSoc Supreme Court has legalized nearly all political corruption, helping billionaires at our expense.
