🧵Today, Justice Clarence Thomas became the 6th longest serving Justice in our nation’s history, sharing this distinction today with one of our greatest Justices who is also a guiding light for Justice Thomas, Justice John Marshall Harlan.

Justice Harlan’s solo dissent from a shameful majority opinion in Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896 establishing the racist “separate but equal” rule set him apart as a man of courage and first principles.

As Justice Thomas wrote in his magisterial concurrence in the 2023 Harvard case:

“Only one Member of the Court adhered to the equality principle; Justice Harlan, standing alone in dissent, wrote: ‘Our constitution is color-blind, and neither knows nor tolerates classes among citizens. In respect of civil rights, all citizens are equal before the law.’ Id., at 559. Though Justice Harlan rightly predicted that Plessy would, ‘in time, prove to be quite as pernicious as the decision made . . . in the Dred Scott case,’ the Plessy rule persisted for over a half century. Ibid. While it remained in force, Jim Crow laws prohibiting blacks from entering or utilizing public facilities such as schools, libraries, restaurants, and theaters sprang up across the South.

This Court rightly reversed course in Brown v. Board of Education. The Brown appellants—those challenging segregated schools—embraced the equality principle, arguing that ‘[a] racial criterion is a constitutional irrelevance, and is not saved from condemnation even though dictated by a sincere desire to avoid the possibility of violence or race friction.’”

Following the courageous example of Justice Harlan, Justice Thomas has been the most forceful advocate for the Court to follow the Constitution’s command that the use of race is never permissible - that the Constitution, in Justice Harlan’s words, is “color blind.”

It has been a long road on this issue since Justice Thomas first arrived on the Court on October 23, 1991, and he has written many compelling dissents and concurrences, including his powerful Grutter dissent in 2003, all of which laid the groundwork for the Supreme Court to arrive at its superb holding in the 2023 Harvard case striking down the use of race in college admissions.

Justice Thomas’ 60 page concurrence in the Harvard case is a tour de force for the ages (link below).

It’s worth celebrating when Justice Clarence Thomas and Justice John Marshall Harlan share the exact number of days of years of service on the Supreme Court (12, 360 days).

🧵 @FederalReserve Chairman Jerome Powell took a hard left turn on climate change after 2020 election to get Biden to re-appoint him to another term as Fed Chairman. In 2021 Biden said Powell “made clear to me: A top priority will be to accelerate the Fed’s efforts to address & mitigate the risks – the risk that climate change poses to our financial system and our economy.”

For purely selfish reasons, Jerome Powell’s Federal Reserve embraced the Left’s obsession with “green energy,” which proved catastrophic to our economy, with inflation jumping from 1.4% in January 2021 to 9.1% in June 2022.
realclearpolicy.com/articles/2023/… 2/ In December 2020, Powell announced the Federal Reserve would join the global woke group, Network of Central Banks and Supervisors for Greening the Financial System (NGFS), which is dedicated to pushing climate change and green energy policies into central banking and supervision.

This group’s policies were so awful that the Federal Reserve withdrew in January 2025, after significant criticism and one month before President Trump came back into office.

But the Fed’s 4-year membership in this hard core leftist green group cost the American economy and our citizens dearly.

🧵1/ President Trump has been right on the money (as always) about Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s monumental mismanagement of the Federal Reserve and our economy. In a January 29, 2025 Truth Social post, the President wrote that “if the Fed had spent less time on DEI, gender ideology, ‘green' energy, and fake climate change, Inflation would never have been a problem.” Below are some examples of Powell’s obsession with DEI while inflation was raging out of control. 2/ “Under pressure to implement diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, however, the Fed revised its monetary-policy objectives to make its employment target more ‘inclusive.'” Read this terrific NR piece on how Powell went all in on DEI and destroyed our economy.

🧵JEROME POWELL DISHONESTY ALERT: Here’s why @SenatorTimScott, @russvought, @JamesBlairUSA & his NCPC colleagues are right to be investigating Jerome Powell’s Taj Mahal.

In his July 17th letter to OMB Director Vought, Powell claims “There are no VIP dining rooms be constructed” in Eccles Building. Powell absurdly claims that there will be conference rooms used for “mealtime meetings.” 2/ Powell’s response is dishonest. In the Federal Reserve’s final approved plans for its HQ building renovations project, the FRB states the following:
“The private dining rooms on Level 4 will be restored . . .” (page 30)

1/ @SenWhitehouse smears my friend & colleague @Russvought when Whitehouse & wife are longtime members of ALL-WHITE Bailey’s Beach Club in Newport, RI. Whitehouse says these clubs are a “long tradition in Rhode Island.” That’s despicable.

2/ No evidence @SenWhitehouse has done anything to force changes to this all-white club. He and his wife Sandra are largest shareholders in club. And if Whitehouse disputes this, release all the names of club members and number of shares. nypost.com/2021/06/21/she…

🧵The Impoundment Control Act was a massive power grab by Congress during Watergate scandal, unconstitutionally infringing on President’s executive authority. It’s also a stupid law – it makes it ILLEGAL to spend less than the full amount appropriated – even if you can get the job done for less. For example, if Congress appropriates $100 million to build a tank, and President can do it for $75 million, it's illegal to not spend the remaining $25 million. That’s insane.

Before the ICA, Presidents routinely impounded funds for policy, national security and efficiency reasons. It’s time for the President to reassert this power.

Below are two papers – first one on President’s constitutional basis to impound and second one on long history of impoundments going back to our Founding. And then some op-eds making the same points.

Impound Baby Impound! @elonmusk @VivekGRamaswamy @RussVought45 @amrenewctr

americarenewing.com/the-history-of… 2/ americarenewing.com/the-presidents…

🧵Presidents have impounded funds that Congress appropriated with mandatory spending language.

In fact, in 1896, Attorney General Harmon issued opinion concluding Presidents don’t have to spend all funds, even if appropriation contains mandatory language. (highlighted below from CRA paper on history of impoundments, linked below in this thread).

Many Presidents going back to Founding and especially in 20th C. (FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy and Johnson) impounded significant funds. It’s time for the President to reassert this authority to help stop the spending madness.

Please read our two papers on 1) history of impoundments and 2) President’s constitutional authority to impound, both papers linked below and some op-eds.

Impound, Baby, Impound! @elonmusk @VivekGRamaswamy @RussVought45 2/ Here’s @amrenewctr paper that I co-authored on long history of impoundments, with lots of examples. This was a well-established practice.
americarenewing.com/the-history-of…

🧵This is rich coming from @RepJeffries, who compared Justice Clarence Thomas, General Colin Powell and Professor Shelby Steele to “House Negroes.”

Jeffries has never disowned these racist comments.

Jeffries also praised views of raging antisemitic Uncle, Leonard Jeffries, as “factual information, proven through scholarly documents and texts.” And then lied about it.

@RepJeffries, I would sit this one out. 2/ washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/137211…

🧵Outrageous but not surprising. President Trump 47 should impound all funds to UNRWA & other international organizations when he makes finding they threaten or harm America's national security interests. Here’s my paper on POTUS impoundment authority.
americarenewing.com/the-presidents… x.com/DrEliDavid/sta… 2/ There is long history of Presidents impounding funds based on national security. americarenewing.com/the-history-of…

🧵Ignoring? Anita Hill testified & Americans believed Clarence Thomas 58%-24%; only 26% of women believed Hill. Even @JoeBiden, who chaired hearing, believed Thomas. Biden called Justice Thomas night he was confirmed to congratulate him & tell Thomas he was "person of character.”

https://twitter.com/SenWhitehouse/status/1845561899305537645

2/@SenWhitehouse, Anita Hill has always been a partisan hack. Here’s a clip of Hill defending Bill Clinton on @MeetThePress, saying she will support Clinton despite his sexually harassing and assaulting women because he is good on the issues, namely of course abortion rights.

🧵33 yrs ago TODAY, Justice Clarence Thomas calls out Democrats for running a “high tech lynching” because Thomas dared to have “different ideas.” This is as true today as Obama despicably tries to shame black men for daring to vote for @realDonaldTrump. 2/When those hearings were, American people believed Thomas 58%-24% w/ only 26% of women believing Anita Hill. Justice Thomas has never backed down in face of these lies & smears, which continue today. Here’s trailer for Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words.

🧵If you are a liberal Justice, the ethics double standard is alive and thriving.

Justice Jackson claims “I follow the rules,” but she failed to disclose husband’s medical malpractice consulting fees on her forms for a decade & then when she admitted in 2022 she hadn’t properly disclosed income, she never fixed her forms. Why isn’t she asked about this?

We know nothing about who paid her husband hundreds of thousands or millions in consulting fees in medical malpractice cases for past decade while she has been serving as a judge. She disclosed his consulting clients in 2012 but never again. Why isn’t she asked about this? Why isn’t legacy media interested in this? 2/ Here’s Jackson’s filing where she admits she failed to disclose husband’s consulting income but doesn’t identify years nor correct previous forms. What companies/law firms paid her husband, how much & did they have any business before her as a judge?

🧵Gaslighting cont'd: Justice Thomas visits friends at their homes & is smeared but @JoeBidenuses billionaire donors’ mansions for family vacations & never paid nor reported them: 3X at $20M Kiawah mansion, 6X in St. Croix, 2x in $35M Nantucket mansion.

2/Justice Thomas attends Nebraska football game, sits in box w/ friends w/ tix price listed at $65 (below reporting limit) but media attacks Thomas on ethics. Jill Biden sits in luxury box at Super Bowl, @JoeBiden doesn’t disclose & crickets from gaslighting Dems & media allies.

🧵Justice Thomas wasn’t required to disclose trips under “personal hospitality” exemption in law & rules. Judicial Conference 2012 letter to Congress confirmed this & it’s consistent with advice given by ethics counsel to Judge Ray Randolph in 2006, as reflected in his notes.

https://twitter.com/RonWyden/status/1820502129632817278

2/ @nytimes dishonestly reports today Justice Thomas “failed to publicly disclose” trips. Media outlets falsely framed this way, esp. @ProPublica who wrote 1st story but failed to mention Conference 2012 ruling to their everlasting shame.

.@JoeBiden wants to destroy an independent Supreme Court. Left is furious they no longer control Court. They want Court to be rubber stamp on efforts to take away our liberties & their efforts to destroy President Trump. Americans must defend Court from this dangerous assault.

https://twitter.com/JoeBiden/status/1817994789033296221

Biden has been malignant force on Court for 30+ yrs, creator of modern assault on Supreme Court nominees, first smearing Robert Bork in 1987 (after Biden first said he would support Bork but then smeared him to rehab himself w/ the Left after being exposed for plagiarizing).

.@SenWhitehouse is a disgrace. His tactics to bully Justice Thomas have failed. As he has for past 33 yrs, Thomas is reshaping American jurisprudence faithful to Constitution. Whitehouse is lashing out because there’s nothing he can do about it. Thomas triggers the Left. #GOAT

https://twitter.com/SenWhitehouse/status/1810702516369449198

Whitehouse wants to create diversion from his own & fellow Dems lying to American people about state of Joe Biden’s utter incapacitation. They're desperate. Get ready for total blowout in November elections & then Whitehouse/fellow Dems will be in minority under President Trump.

.@realDonaldTrump is 100% correct – VP Biden was very involved w Hunter business deals. My client Jason Galanis provided draft email that Joe Biden was interested in joining board of Chinese Fund, Harvest, after 2016 as part of plan to help Hunter form partnership w/ Harvest. Galanis testified “certain relation of mine” mentioned in draft email was VP Biden. Archer confirmed this to Galanis at time. Timeline of golf outing conversation mentioned in draft email matches timing of golf outing photo w Bidens and Archer - Aug 2014

Justice Jackson failed to disclose husband’s medical malpractice consulting fees for years. She knew she was required to as she disclosed his fees in first report in 2012. Then she failed to disclose these fees for a decade, as she admitted in 2022 filing. Paging @SenWhitehouse.

https://twitter.com/RepDonaldsPress/status/1654584249972826113

Jackson’s amended 2020 report filed in 2022 when nominated to Supreme Court says “some of my previously filed reports inadvertently omitted. . consulting income that my spouse periodically receives from consulting on medical malpractice cases.” Which years??

1/@POTUS Biden invoked Exec Privilege over audiotape of Hur interview, claiming transcript provides necessary information. Biden has long history of secretly excising embarrassing comments from official transcripts, as demonstrated in clip below from 1991 Thomas-Hill hearings. 2/Biden excised this sentence from transcript: “Now, in groping to trying to figure out how we got to where we are in terms of this discrepancy. . .”  Given his well-known troubling conduct toward women, Biden team made sure this was not in transcript.

1/My @WSJopinion on why Justice Alito has no reason to recuse from Trump cases - not required by law/ precedent. RBG unethically attacked Trump during '16 campaign & not releasing tax returns, & Left had no problem w/ her ruling on Trump tax returns case. wsj.com/articles/mrs-a… 2/ Liberal appeals court Judge Reinhardt didn't recuse from appeal in which wife’s ACLU chapter joined 2 briefs in district court case below. Left filed brief defending. Left’s attacks on Justices Alito & Thomas are about power, not ethics.

1/ Justice Alito has no reason to recuse in Jan 6 cases. His wife is allowed to have her own political views, even if they were about the 2020 election. The Left is inventing fake recusal standards. Total hypocrites. See below for examples.

https://twitter.com/ShannonBream/status/1791483561675022624

2/ Liberal 9th Circuit Judge Reinhardt did not recuse from appeal of case on ban on same sex marriage in Calif, even though wife’s ACLU org joined 2 briefs in court below urging ban be struck down. Judge’s wife was outspoken ban should be struck down.
