1/ Now that the trade wars are over, let’s talk about expanding the Supreme Court. It’s pretty clear the best and brightest on the left overwhelmingly support expansion.
2/ Tristan Snell and Brian Tyler Cohen make valid arguments for expansion.
3/ Even Norm from The Contrarian is for expanding the Supreme Court, and as he mentions, “it would not be Court packing, but Court restoration.” #CourtRestoration
4/ According to Laurence Tribe, expanding the court would be, “Clearly constitutional, practical, overdue”, and “it’s not ‘packing’ the Court but unpacking it, without violating the Constitution.”
5/ Chip Franklin, Really American, and Call To Activism are big fans of court expansion.
According to Justin Horwitz, whoever wins the election can rightfully expand the court. Cool.

6/ PoliticsGirl and Tara Dublin are also all for it. Bring it!
Can we get 1000 likes to get #ExpandTheCourt trending?
7/ It’s actually hard to find people on the left who aren’t in favor of expansion #PackSCOTUS
8/ Occupy Democrats supports it. RT IF YOU SUPPORT EXPANDING THE COURT IMMEDIATELY!
9/ Dash wants to “Expand the courts, ram through judges, show no mercy!”
10/ “Pack the MOTHERFUCKING Supreme Court now. ENOUGH.”
11/ Even AOC and Adam Schiff are all in 💪
12/ And as Elie said, “Court expansion is good, on its own merits.”
13/ Even the DNC’s new Vice Chair supports court expansion. “Expand the court. Now.”
14/ It’s also interesting to note that, after Biden invited this group to the White House and made them the faces and voices of the party, the Dems have gone on to lose the Senate, the House, the White House, and the popular vote. Make of that what you will.

1/ If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to navigate a PAC’s FEC filing to see how they’re spending the donation money they receive, here’s a quick and easy step-by-step tutorial.
UNBELIEVABLE: @ReallyAmerican1’s PAC spent only $647.22 on ads opposing Lauren Boebert in ‘22 & that was back in May/June - nowhere near the midterms.
Meanwhile, the PAC’s treasurer, @JustinAHorwitz, & BrooklynDad @mmpadellan paid themselves over $500K for consulting in ‘21-‘22
2/ The fact that @ReallyAmerican1’s PAC spent so little on ads opposing Lauren Boebert in 2022, while paying themselves huge consulting fees, is appalling IMO. Unfortunately, when you look at the rest of their spending, as you’ll see below, a pattern emerges.
3/ Before we take a look at exactly how and when @ReallyAmerican1’s PAC spent the donation money they received in 2021-2022, it’s important to point out that they are a Super PAC.
Over a year ago, Jo claimed she needed money to fix her fridge, then it was to save her house, and now it’s also to fix & repair her house, including “a new roof, a new furnace, and a new chimney liner”.
What’s next? A new car?
JoJo keeps asking for money, yet there’s a glaring lack of transparency about how much she’s actually raised. It seems that once big money started rolling in, she made it harder to tell how much she’s raked in, which appears to easily be in the tens of thousands, if not way more.
In July 2022, her Kofi page said she’d already received 11,559 donations. The donations have continued to pour in over the last 7 months, but JoJo has now hidden the number of donors. This is a huge red flag, and one of many transparency issues.
Why is there a $40,000 disbursement from the Occupy Democrats Election Fund PAC to Mitch McConnell for ‘fundraising/digital’ in their FEC filing on 10/30/20? If this is a ‘clerical error’, it’s the mother of all clerical errors.
It’s right there in their FEC filing, and I would recommend everyone go take a look for themselves. If they have an explanation for this, I’d love to hear it.
If they have an explanation for this, I’d love to hear it, but it’s sitting right there in their FEC filing for all to see.
This information was from the OpenSecrets website. I also went through their FEC filings. I would urge anyone interested to do the same, with a focus on their disbursements. I also did a search for contributions to candidates, and this came up.
Here's a screen shot from their FEC filing of some of their disbursements to fundraising consultants.
