Federal filings reportedly show that year-end 2023, Leaders We Deserve raised over $3 million. That is impressive for its first year in operation.
The conservative sites allege that the group spent “only about $263,000 on its stated mission of electing candidates from Generation Z to office combined with donations to other Democrat Party committees and groups—and instead spent more than $1.4 million on disbursements to themselves for payroll and to political consulting firms and legal fees, in addition to travel and entertainment expenses like hotels, flights, and meals.”
However, it reportedly spent more than $1,314,000 on travel and related expenses while giving $80,000 to the Elias Law Group.

When you look at the facts of the Trump indictment — not imagined hypothetical scenarios — there is no way the Constitution grants him immunity from prosecution.
(Samuel Breidbart, Brennan Center for Justice)
Two centuries of U.S. constitutional history make clear that Donald Trump is liable to criminal prosecution.

"The flagrant #corruption of the #Court has received a great deal of media attention & public scrutiny in recent years. But that scrutiny has been largely siloed away from coverage of the Court’s substantive deliberations & #decisions. It’s time to break out of those silos.
The story of the justices’ lucrative relationships with #right-wing #billionaires is inseparable from those billionaires’ judicial shadow-lobbying via amicus briefs."

"It’s a rogue court, a thoroughly corrupt one, one that is so far gone in its corruption that it feels free even from the practical obligation to clothe its corruption for the sake of appearances."

"We cannot pretend that this is normal or acceptable. Indeed, the MAGA extremists are depending on Democrats to be temperate, refined, and reserved in the face of corruption. The time for presumptions of goodwill and deference to the Court has passed. It abused our trust and refused to regulate itself. We must do so before it is too late."

"The display we saw yesterday was a vivid illustration of how the Court has gone thoroughly rogue, cutting itself off from even the appearances of the processes that give it legitimacy. That is the core of the current Court’s corruption."

From yesterday: Environmental advocates called it “a land grab of Boca Chica State Park land for a private space corporation that is clearly not in the public interest.” So why is the state parks agency seemingly so eager to work with #SpaceX? https://www.texasobserver.org/spacex-tpwd-park-land-musk/

This is exactly want Doug Ford wants. Make things so difficult for family doctors, they quit and move to a private system.
Doctors gets $38 per patient visit yet our #corrupt premier gives Galen Weston $75 every time a pharmacist diagnoses a minor ailment, accurate or not.
#Corruption is destroying this province. Doctors like this leaving the system is a feature, not a bug of this corruption.
Vote out this corrupt set of bastards.

A Manhattan DA prosecutor, Joshua Steinglass, said that #juror 4 or someone w/ their name seems to have been #arrested in the 1990s in Westchester for tearing down #political ads. After some more research, he says, they also found that the juror's wife was previously involved in a #corruption inquiry & cooperated w/ the DA's office. This means that the juror, if they've identified the right person, #lied in response to one of the questions on the questionnaire.
