Chuck Darwin<p><a href="https://c.im/tags/RAGA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RAGA</span></a> had an arm called the "Rule of Law Defense Fund,"<br>deployed <br>to do <a href="https://c.im/tags/robocalls" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>robocalls</span></a>, to <br>👉urge people to go to the Jan. 6 events that Trump said would be wild, to go there on the day that Congress was supposed to be certifying the election, as he was mounting this intimidation campaign against [Vice President Mike] Pence, unleashing his followers to assail him. </p><p>And this is in the context of weeks of efforts by Trump and his lawyers and advisers --- trying to help him execute a coup. </p><p>You had the <a

some of this litigation to try ⭐️to stop other states from certifying the election. ⭐️</p><p>The group itself through this "Rule of Law Defense Fund" was actively involved in ♦️peddling the big lucrative lie about the election ♦️to push people to go to the mall on Jan. 6. </p><p>There was sort of shock and horror that a group of state attorneys general would be involved in trying to aid the precursor events to the violent insurrection at the Capitol. </p><p>And big companies 👍said they weren’t going to fund RAGA. 👍</p><p>And so 🔸for a moment there,🔸 there was a bright light shining on RAGA and on the events around the capital and these AGs.</p><p>💥But then months later, some of those companies came back to fund RAGA. </p><p>The <a href="https://c.im/tags/accountability"

Chuck Darwin<p>One of the greatest destabilizers of democracy that almost nobody knows about is a little tax-exempt group called <a href="https://c.im/tags/RAGA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RAGA</span></a>, <br>which stands for the "Republican Attorneys General Association". <br>It represents more than half the states’ chief legal officers, and its members are on the front lines of pretty much every single important legal movement in the country. <br>Its moves and funding are directed, of course, by everyone’s favorite little Monopoly Man Money Guy, <a href="https://c.im/tags/Leonard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Leonard</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Leo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Leo</span></a>. <br>Yet the group receives almost no sustained public attention or accountability. <br>Recently, <a href="https://c.im/tags/Heidi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Heidi</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Przybyla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Przybyla</span></a> at Politico reported on how RAGA tried to run a D.C. official who had dared investigate Leo out of office. <br>🔥 Once you actually train your focus on RAGA, they tend to pop up everywhere, over and over again. 🔥<br>👉The group was behind <a href="https://c.im/tags/amicus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>amicus</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/briefs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>briefs</span></a> in the outrageous social media case <a href="https://c.im/tags/Murthy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Murthy</span></a> v. <a href="https://c.im/tags/Missouri" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Missouri</span></a>. <br>👉They are driving the efforts to get around federal emergency treatment laws for <a href="https://c.im/tags/abortion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>abortion</span></a> in the forthcoming <a href="https://c.im/tags/EMTALA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EMTALA</span></a> cases. <br>👉They’re pushing for Texas-style S.B. 4 legislation in several states. <br>And that doesn’t even get you to the whole raft of RAGA interventions when it came to trying to🔸 overturn the results of the 2020 election.🔸</p><p><a href="https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2024/04/raga-republican-officials-leonard-leo-supreme-court-mess.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">slate.com/news-and-politics/20</span><span class="invisible">24/04/raga-republican-officials-leonard-leo-supreme-court-mess.html</span></a></p>
