“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. ImageImage

“Will you rush $27 now ...”

Pro-@JoeBiden super PAC @American_Bridge with an RBG-themed political solicitation. Image
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. Image
“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: ImageImage

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” ImageImageImage
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… ImageImageImage
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. ImageImageImage

.@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… ImageImage

1/ Appears that the @ALTAonline political action committee is the latest PAC to get hit in a string of thefts.

Per new @FEC filing:
2/ Dozens of PACs and other political committees fell victim to theft during the 2019-2020 election cycle. businessinsider.com/biden-campaign…
3/ The @GOP's Republican National Committee endured this bizarre situation — and wasn't exactly forthcoming about it until months after the 2020 election. businessinsider.com/republican-nat…

1/ @BusinessInsider has found yet another member of Congress who's violated a federal transparency law designed to defend against conflicts of interest. This time, it's @RepBlakeMoore, R-Utah. businessinsider.com/rep-blake-moor…
2/ In January, @SenFeinstein, D-Calif., was months late disclosing tens of thousands of dollars in trades by her husband. businessinsider.com/dianne-feinste…
3/ In March, @BusinessInsider revealed that Rep. Tom @Malinowski, D-N.J., failed to disclose dozens of stock trades during 2020, including a flurry of them as the COVID-19 pandemic gripped the nation. businessinsider.com/tom-malinowski…

1/ A year ago, people across the United States & Canada were performing all sorts of wacky trick shots in honor of @ChrisSnowCGY — and to raise serious cash ($439,906) for ALS research and new treatments.

Today's as good a day as any to give: nhl.com/flames/fans/sn…
2/ @ChrisSnowCGY was diagnosed with a rare form of ALS two years ago. We all expected to be attending Chris' funeral within a year. Two years on, Chris is more alive than most of us could ever hope to be. Here's him this month on @CBSSunday:
3/ As @globemartyk recently noted, "Chris continues to work every day. He has learned to throw with his left hand, so he can pitch batting practice to Cohen, who is now nine." theglobeandmail.com/sports/hockey/…

1/ Since Donald Trump left the White House on Jan. 20, @BusinessInsider has been tracking the diaspora of his top lieutenants and aides. Today, we released a searchable database of where they've all landed. businessinsider.com/trump-white-ho…
2/ It's not easy out there for some Trump alumni. Many corporations won't employ alumni of Trump's White House, so they're building a 'dumb cash' MAGA ecosystem instead, report @cryanbarber and @tomlobianco businessinsider.com/trump-alumni-m…
3/ Other Trump alumni — Cabinet members, in particular — are living their best lives in the months since they left the MAGA fold, report @rbravender and @leonardkl businessinsider.com/trump-cabinet-…

1/ A Trump fundraising triple bait-and-switch, unpacked.

This morning, Trump’s campaign sent this text message. It would appear, in a plain reading of it, that any money you donate would go toward ongoing efforts to overturn Election 2020 results.
2/ But click on the Trump fundraising text link, & you get nothing about the presidential election. Instead, you get a solicitation for the “GEORGIA ELECTION FUND,” referring, of course, to the two runoffs in Georgia that will determine the Senate’s balance of power in 2021-2022.
3/ OK, so you’re helping elect Republican senators in Georgia and preserving a Senate majority, not helping Trump fight. Tomato, tomahto.

One problem: Your donation isn’t going to the Georgia runoff.

It’s mostly going to a new Trump political committee called “Save America.”
