[1]Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for Congress



Last month, it was revealed that the Supreme Court received nearly $5
million in luxury gifts — $4.2 million of which was gifted solely to
Clarence Thomas by MAGA megadonors.^1

Just days ago, SCOTUS severely restricted the regulatory powers of federal
agencies by overturning a legal precedent known as ‘Chevron deference.’^2

And this morning, SCOTUS ruled that Donald Trump has ‘absolute immunity’
from prosecution for crimes he committed while he was President of the
United States.

The Supreme Court is in a legitimacy crisis.

[ [link removed] ]Tweet from AOC: The Supreme Court has become consumed by a corruption
crisis beyond it's control. Today's ruling represents an assault on
American democracy. It is up to Congress to defend our nation from this
authoritarian capture. I intend on filing articles of impeachment upon our
return.

This Court is setting the stage for a Trump presidency above the law. If
Congress fails to hold them accountable, it sends a dangerous signal to
the special interests trying to buy them off that their actions are fair
game.

[ [link removed] ]This level of corruption is shocking by any standard of a functioning
democracy. Will you make a $5 contribution today so that
AOC can keep fighting to ensure no one — no matter how rich or powerful —
is above the law?



[ [link removed] ]Contribute $5



After the news of SCOTUS’ luxury gifts, Alexandria joined Ranking Member
Jamie Raskin to announce legislation barring Justices from receiving gifts
valued over $50. We will keep you updated as more develops on the Supreme
Court.

Whether or not you can contribute today, thank you for standing with our
movement.

In solidarity,

Team AOC
