Meadows' involvement in the events leading to Jan 6 isn't up for debate. Our investigation found that, without a doubt, he asked Acting AG Rosen to initiate baseless election fraud investigations on behalf of Trump—and this "Big Lie" helped incite the insurrection.

KEY POINTS ⬇️
.@JudiciaryDems found that from 12/29-1/11, Meadows asked DOJ to:

1) Investigate various discredited claims of election fraud in Georgia that the Trump campaign was unsuccessfully pursuing in court;
2) Investigate false claims of “signature match anomalies” in Fulton County, Georgia, even though Republican state elections officials had made clear “there has been no evidence presented of any issues with the signature matching process.”
3) Investigate a theory known as “Italygate,” promoted by a Rudy Giuliani ally, which held that the CIA and an Italian IT contractor used military satellites to manipulate voting machines and change Trump votes to Biden votes. Meadows also asked DOJ to meet with Giuliani.
4) Investigate a series of claims of election fraud in New Mexico that had been widely refuted and in some cases rejected by the courts, including a claim that Dominion Voting Systems machines caused late-night “vote dumps” for Democratic candidates.

A breakdown of @JudiciaryDems interim report on our continued investigation into Meadows, Jeffrey Clark, and others involved in President Trump’s pressure campaign to overturn the 2020 election:

🚨 HISTORY OF ETHICAL LAPSES INVOLVING HARLAN CROW, LEONARD LEO🚨

For years, Harlan Crow & Leonard Leo have gained private access to SCOTUS justices for themselves and friends.

Private planes, luxury resorts, lavish gifts… it’s damning. And why we’re investigating.

THREAD ⬇️ Image
2008 – Leonard Leo organized private jet travel for Justice Alito to Alaska for a luxury fishing trip.

Justice Alito did not include any of this on his financial disclosures. propublica.org/article/samuel…
2008 – Harlan Crow paid for a year of tuition for Justice Thomas’s grandnephew to attend Hidden Lake Academy, a private boarding school in Georgia.

Justice Thomas did not disclose any of this. propublica.org/article/claren…

Senator Feinstein was the first woman to ever serve as Chair or Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Her accomplishments, her kind heart, and her legacy will impact our federal judiciary and our nation forever.

Take a moment, and appreciate her legacy. ⬇️ Image
Dianne led the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act.

She worked with @SenatorDurbin, @SenJoniErnst, and @LisaMurkowski to reach consensus.

It strengthened a lifeline for many survivors of domestic abuse and sexual violence. Image
As Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, she led a brave fight in the name of transparency.

We still learn from the sad chapter when America engaged in the torture, and cruel, inhumane, and degrading treatment of detainees in our custody. Image

Here’s the road map for Supreme Court ethics reform.

The Chief Justice could adopt an ethical code of conduct today. But he hasn’t.

If the Supreme Court doesn’t act, Congress must.
We’ve encouraged the Court to adopt a code of ethics for over a decade, spanning multiple administrations and much of the Roberts Court.

Despite astonishing revelations, he has so far refused to take meaningful steps to restore public confidence in the Court.
That’s where we come into play.

We’ve held a hearing, and we will have more.

We will gauge the full extent of ethics problems at the Court.

And we will bring ethics reform legislation up for a vote.

It’s a response that meets the importance of the work.
Expanding access to health care.

Securing access to safe and affordable housing.

Enhancing educational opportunities.

Expanding access to food and subsistence benefits.

THREAD: Firearm-related fatalities are a leading cause of line-of-duty deaths—a threat that's only become worse with the proliferation of assault weapons.

Here's just some of the law enforcement leaders calling on Congress to do more to address the threat of gun violence ⬇️
“I have seen the devastating consequences [that] unchecked gun violence can have on the communities we serve – gun violence that could have been curbed by meaningful action by Congress.” – East Baton Rouge County Sheriff's Office Captain Frederick Thomas cnn.com/2022/06/16/pol…
“As a victim of gun violence, when I was shot at, and my partner was killed on duty, I have an understanding of what the victims are feeling, and the continued 'thoughts & prayers' comments are not enough.” – Police Chief Dwight Henninger, head of @TheIACP cnn.com/2022/06/16/pol…
