@washingtonpost Frustration barely begins to describe what many of us feel! It's pure anger, having more women's rights taken away and we're simply not going to keep letting this garbage happen! We've been here and done this already, earlier in our lives and we'll fight like hell to stop it now!

14/ His failure to report the flights appears to violate a federal disclosure law passed after Watergate, according to experts. By accepting the trips, Thomas has broken long-standing norms for judges’ conduct, ethics experts and four current or retired federal judges said.

13/ These trips appeared nowhere on Thomas’ financial disclosures, where justices are required to list most gifts. We drew on flight records, internal documents & interviews with dozens of people ranging from yacht staff to a scuba instructor to uncover Thomas' travel details.

9/ If Leo's name sounds familiar, it's because the longtime Federalist Society executive is regarded as an architect of the Supreme Court’s recent turn to the right and recently received $1.6 billion for a new conservative political group: propublica.org/article/dark-m…

5/ It wasn’t Thomas’ first time on Crow's yacht, the Michaela Rose. He went on a river day trip in Savannah, Georgia, and an extended cruise in New Zealand roughly a decade ago.

4/ In June 2019, Thomas boarded Crow's private jet to Indonesia for 9 days of island-hopping on Crow's yacht. Had Thomas chartered the jet and yacht himself, it could have cost him over $500K.
