As we say in our brief: “Transparency is necessary both to preserve the public’s trust and to ensure that the Court avoids undisclosed pitfalls at the hands of self-serving anonymous, dark-money amici.” — PolitiTweet.org

In Moore, the “Honest Elections Project” did not disclose its connections to Leonard Leo and his slimy dark money network, depriving the justices and the public of information that is vital to assessing potential ethics concerns. — PolitiTweet.org

The worst offender in this sordid web is the “Honest Elections Project,” which has deep ties Leonard Leo’s dark money network. Leo’s network politicized the federal judiciary under Trump by packing it with handpicked nominees, producing a captured Court for the radical right. — PolitiTweet.org

And yet, none of them disclose these connections or history to the Court. The lack of transparency is egregious — and a real disservice to the Court. — PolitiTweet.org

This chorus of interconnected groups includes organizations with a history of voter suppression and straight-up election denial. Some even used the “independent state legislature theory” in sinister plots to overturn the 2020 election. — PolitiTweet.org

A flotilla of opaquely funded amici is pushing SCOTUS to adopt a debunked interpretation of the Constitution known as the “independent state legislature theory.” If SCOTUS buys into this fringe theory, it could turbocharge future election subversion and voter suppression efforts. — PolitiTweet.org

Who thinks big dark-money donors spend a billion dollars to win a Republican Senate and don’t want their money back and then some? Big money in politics corrupts; big dark money in politics corrupts darkly. — PolitiTweet.org

How do you think Mitch McConnell repays those big donors? 1. Keep blocking climate legislation. 2. Undo Medicare negotiation power. 3. More billionaire tax breaks. 4. All of the above.    I’m going with 4. — PolitiTweet.org

Microplastic is now detected in mothers’ milk and baby poop; recycling is a massive fraud; and the industry is fighting any serious response.  It wants PR (public relations) not RP (reduced plastic) as we head for oceans with more plastic than fish. https://t.co/MPOLFh9tRP — PolitiTweet.org

Every single one of my GOP colleagues voted against these historic investments. Now, they’re trying to renew the GOP tax giveaway for big businesses and the wealthy – even threatening to slash Social Security and Medicare to pay for it. — PolitiTweet.org

These investments were paid for by cracking down on wealthy tax cheats and making giant corporations pay a fairer share. No one making under $400k will pay more in taxes, and taxpayers will see better customer service at the IRS. — PolitiTweet.org
