It’s #GivingTuesday and 2 generous donors are matching donations to CREW up to $35,000!

A donation of any amount supports our efforts to hold Trump accountable and root out corruption. Here’s just some of the work donors have supported in the past year 🧵 actionnetwork.org/fundraising/do…
We urged secretaries of state, attorneys general and Congress to enforce the 14th Amendment’s Disqualification Clause to keep insurrectionists from serving in elected office. When the time comes, we'll take action to disqualify Trump.
We uncovered serious failures in federal law enforcement’s response to threats ahead of the January 6th insurrection—and sued multiple agencies after learning that text messages from the days surrounding January 6th had been erased.
We tracked donations to the Sedition Caucus and called out corporations that went back on their promises to stop donating to members of Congress who voted to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Democracy is still in peril, but we’re still watching.
We tracked the 56 crimes Donald Trump has been credibly accused of committing since he ran for office in 2015, and called on the DOJ to investigate Trump and prosecute. As long as Trump keeps committing crimes, we’ll keep tracking them.
We called on Congress to investigate Ginni & Clarence Thomas after Ginni Thomas’s involvement in Jan 6 came to light and Justice Thomas failed to recuse from cases involving the 2020 election. We also called on President Biden to remove Ginni Thomas from her federal position.
None of us can protect our democracy alone. But together, we can safeguard it and build a better, fairer democracy that works for all of us. Make a matched donation to CREW today to help support the fight: actionnetwork.org/fundraising/do…

Let’s talk about why Mike Pence’s justifications for not testifying in front of the January 6th Committee are so bad.🧵
Pence told CBS that “the partisan nature of the January 6 committee has been a disappointment.”

The committee isn’t partisan. In addition to including 2 Republican members, the committee publicly presented testimony from more than 50 Republicans.
Pence also said that “summoning a vice president to speak about deliberations that took place at the White House” would violate the separation of powers between Congress and the White House.

Four sitting vice presidents or presidents have testified before Congress in the past.

The ENABLERS Act would transform the US from a center of global financial secrecy into a leader in the movement to combat financial corruption.

We recently teamed up with 80 other organizations to call on @SpeakerPelosi and @SenSchumer to act. 🧵
Right now, rich and powerful bad actors can hide their shady money in the United States. The ENABLERS Act would, among other things, close the legal loophole that allows a web of professionals to help kleptocrats funnel their money into the country and into our markets.
This corrupt money has touched nearly every part of American society, from driving up prices on single family homes to influencing our democratic institutions. justsecurity.org/80790/u-s-real…

Donald Trump announced last night that he’s running for president in 2024. Here’s a look back at some of the lowlights from his last term in office—the most corrupt this country has ever seen.🧵
Trump repeatedly violated the Emoluments Clauses of the Constitution as foreign and local government officials put money into his pocket. citizensforethics.org/news/press-rel…
In the time since Trump first began running for president in 2015, he’s been credibly accused of 56 crimes, including everything from campaign finance violations to obstruction of justice to seditious conspiracy. citizensforethics.org/reports-invest…

Let's talk about the Trump Hotel 🧵
You've probably seen the big story today about foreign governments running up bills at the Trump Hotel in order to curry favor with the Trump administration. If you haven't, here it is: forbes.com/sites/saradorn…
If you read this and screamed "EMOLUMENTS CLAUSE!", you're not alone. We warned everyone about this problem the minute Trump took the oath of office. citizensforethics.org/news/press-rel…

GOOD NEWS: democracy won in multiple states on Tuesday. Here are some key ballot initiatives that won and will make future elections more transparent and fair 🧵
Michigan voters passed Promote the Vote 2022, adding voting policies to their state constitution that codify common sense voters’ rights protections and prevent their state legislature from overturning election results.
In Arizona, voters passed Proposition 211, a ballot measure that requires public disclosure of big-dollar donors to dark money groups, meaning Arizonans will know much more about who is influencing their elections.
