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

Just before the election, SCOTUS then granted Donald Trump "absolute
immunity" from prosecution for crimes he committed as President.

And this past Friday, SCOTUS ruled to limit the powers of our lower
courts, preventing them from blocking Trump's executive orders nationwide.

[1]Headline from The New York Times: [ [link removed] ]With Supreme Court ruling, another
check on Trump's power fades

The Supreme Court is in a legitimacy crisis.

The conservative Justices are 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
Alexandria can keep fighting to ensure no one — no matter how rich or
powerful — is above the law?

In her dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor, also from The Bronx, called it an
"open invitation for the government to bypass the Constitution."

This is a tipping point, and inaction is a decision to erode and further
delegitimize the Supreme Court. As Alexandria said, “We must go where the
facts take us.”

Thank you for reading. We'll keep you posted as more on this story
develops.

In solidarity,

Team AOC
