“Today, we fight for her legacy.”

.@KamalaHarris fundraising this morning for the Biden campaign and @dscc, evoking the death of Ruth Bader Ginsberg.

Not long ago such political fundraising would’ve been considered churlish. We’re far past that, though.

Good catch from @IAStartingLine:

Fundraising message from @TheDemocrats-supporting @votevets.

Re: @joniernst fundraising off Ruth Bader Ginsberg’s death:

Ruth Bader Ginsberg-related fundraising from @DemGovs.

Rep. @AdamSchiff with an RBG-themed fundraising message.

Asking for money for @ossoff @stevebullockmt @Hickenlooper @harrisonjaime @GreenfieldIowa @CaptMarkKelly @SaraGideon @CalforNC and himself.

“Will you rush $27 now ...”

Pro-@JoeBiden super PAC @American_Bridge with an RBG-themed political solicitation.

This fundraising message from Sen. @TimScottSC doesn’t specifically mention RBG, but it’s all about @LindseyGrahamSC, who’s in the middle of a massive s-storm at the moment.

“With the new vacancy on the Supreme Court, it is more crucial now than ever that Republicans hold the U.S. Senate.”

Solicitation from @LaurenWitzkeDE, the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in Delaware:

“No time to despair”

RBG-themed campaign fundraising message from @paulajean2020, Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in West Virginia.

Trump campaign goes into full #SCOTUS fundraising mode.

Gun control groups now sending out RBG-themed fundraising pleas.

In Texas, Democratic US Senate candidate @mjhegar fundraising off what her opponent, Sen. @JohnCornyn, has said about #SCOTUS vacancies.

In California, Democratic @RepJoshHarder is “devastated” by Ruth Bader Ginsberg’s death. He ends his somber email with a “donate” button.

Brand New Congress PAC — it raises money for @AOC, @paulajean2020, @RashidaTlaib, @CoriBush and @JamaalBowmanNY, among others — it collecting campaign cash with the subject line: “Our debt to RBG”

This Trump campaign fundraising email goes full Ruth Bader Ginsberg — her name is even the subject line — in asking for 💵 money for Trump.

Also, these “800% match” gimmicks are completely bogus, and here’s why: businessinsider.com/trump-biden-ca…

This afternoon, @ewarren is fundraising off Ruth Bader Ginsberg through her “Warren Democrats” committee, which money raised benefiting any of 17 D candidates, incl. @AmyMcGrathKY @harrisonjaime @MikeEspyMS @Hickenlooper @GreenfieldIowa @SaraGideon @stevebullockmt & @abbybroyles.

.@SarahHuckabee is using the #SCOTUS vacancy caused by Ruth Bader Ginsberg’s death to promote her book, “Speaking for Myself.”

“Celebrating the life of Ruth Bader Ginsberg” apparently involves donating money to the @FlaDems.

“Democrats refuse to give President Trump's Supreme Court nominee a chance ...”

How Sen. @LindseyGrahamSC, R-S.C., is raising money for his re-election campaign tonight.

More @LindseyGrahamSC: blame Harry Reid and please give the Graham campaign money.

.@senatemajldr our tonight with a rather bogus fundraising email.

1.) Asserts campaign contributions to his re-election committee will help fill the SCOTUS vacancy. (They won’t.)

2.) Promises donations will be matched 5x, which they won’t. Here’s why: businessinsider.com/trump-biden-ca…

Day after Ruth Bader Ginsberg’s death ends with a SCOTUS-themed @JoeBiden fundraising message telling supporters that “in the face of tragedy, we need to keep fighting” and to “join us in this fight by chipping in $25”
