FIRST: The Washington Post and CBS News reported that Ginni Thomas, wife of Justice Clarence Thomas, urged the Trump White House to overturn the results of the 2020 election!

SO: Senator Amy Klobuchar is calling on Justice Thomas to recuse himself from any cases related to the 2020 election – calling it a “textbook case” of a conflict of interest.

BUT: Republicans are defending Justice Thomas, claiming there’s no need for recusal!

The Supreme Court does not have any formal ethics rules regarding when a Justice should recuse themselves, so we’re polling your local Democrats to see where they stand on Justice Thomas’s potential conflict of interest.

Can you be one of 100 local Democrats to take our 1-click poll? >>

Do you think Justice Clarence Thomas should recuse himself from any cases related to the 2020 election?  Yes  No  Unsure TAKE THE POLL →

This is really serious. Ginni Thomas’ texts to Trump’s chief of staff clearly show her urging the White House to overturn the 2020 election results.

And right now, some insurrectionists and Trump cronies involved in the events of January 6th are in ongoing legal battles across the country – legal battles that could advance to the Supreme Court!

But there is no ethics requirement for when Supreme Court Justices should recuse themselves, so we need your input today.

Don’t delay, will you be one of the first 100 local Democrats Democrats to take our poll? >>

Then, Democratic Governor John Bel Edwards – whose election we supported – vetoed the map! But a couple of weeks ago, Republicans in the legislature overrode the veto. This isn’t over. Voters are challenging the Louisiana map in court under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, noting that while African Americans make up 33% of Louisiana’s population, only one of the six districts drawn by Republicans – or 17% – is majority-Black. It’s part of a pattern of gerrymandering that’s been repeated state after state.

Friend: Time is running out before our LIVE poll closes at 11:59 p.m. tonight, but we still need to hear from 12 more top Democrats in your area.

President Biden just secured a massive victory for the U.S. Postal Service – but Mitch McConnell and the GOP continue to attack him at every turn. We need to confirm where grassroots folks like you stand. You were specifically chosen to participate in our live poll – so please, tell us right now:

Do you approve of President Biden?

YES   NO

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Biden Flash Poll Date: Sun, Apr 17, 2022 Subject: incredible news (U.S. Postal Service)

CRITICAL UPDATE: President Biden just signed a major bill into law to save the U.S. Postal Service! This is incredible news, friend! A majority of Democrats approve of President Biden – but after this massive victory, we need to update our data, and your response is still missing: Do you approve of President Biden? YES   NO Response missing from sula_costa@yahoo.com | Midnight deadline Friend – Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, a Trump megadonor, has been doing everything in his power to sabotage the U.S. Postal Service, from slowing down delivery times for crucial things like prescription drugs to threatening our ability to vote by mail. That's why this is such a HUGE victory: President Biden just signed a bill to stabilize USPS finances, block extreme service cuts, assist postal workers, and more. We've finally taken a crucial step toward rebuilding this vital federal agency after years of harmful Trump-era policies. But at the same time, Mitch McConnell and the GOP are 100% focused on attacking President Biden and sabotaging his agenda – all to tear Democrats down and retake Senate control in November. Before midnight, we need another 27 people in your area to speak out in support of President Biden – but according to our records, your response is still missing. Please, friend, tell us now: Do you approve of President Biden? YES   NO This email was sent to sula_costa@yahoo.com. To unsubscribe from this email list, please click here.

THE NEW YORK TIMES: Biden to Include Minimum Tax on Billionaires in Budget Proposal Sign our petition to tell Congress to pass Biden's minimum tax on billionaires! >> ADD YOUR NAME >>> *15,000 signatures needed before midnight! Friend: President Biden proposed a 20% tax on households worth more than $100 million. This is a big deal. Wealth inequality in America has drastically increased since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. While most families were struggling to make ends meet over the last two years, our country's 704 billionaires grew their combined fortune by $1.7 TRILLION. This means billionaires are worth ONE-THIRD more than the bottom half of Americans. That's why we're so glad the Biden administration is taking steps to ensure the wealthiest Americans finally pay their fair share. Biden's “Billionaire Minimum Income Tax” isn't just important, it's the right thing to do to help working families. If you agree, we're asking top Democrats from your area to add their names before 11:59 p.m. tonight: Sign our petition to tell Congress to pass Biden's minimum tax on billionaires! >> ADD YOUR NAME >>>
