Activist group led by Ginni Thomas received nearly $600,000 in anonymous donations
Funding for group that battled ‘cultural Marxism’ was channeled through right-wing think tank, Post investigation finds
A little-known conservative activist group led by Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, collected nearly $600,000 in anonymous donations to wage a cultural battle against the left over three years, a Washington Post investigation found.
The previously unreported donations to the fledgling group Crowdsourcers for Culture and Liberty were channeled through a right-wing think tank in Washington that agreed to serve as a funding conduit from 2019 until the start of last year, according to documents and interviews. The arrangement, known as a “fiscal sponsorship,” effectively shielded from public view details about Crowdsourcers’ activities and spending, information it would have had to disclose publicly if it operated as a separate nonprofit organization, experts said.
The Post’s investigation sheds new light on the role money from donors who are not publicly identified has played in supporting Ginni Thomas’s political advocacy, long a source of controversy. The funding is the first example of anonymous donors backing her activism since she founded a conservative charity more than a decade ago. She stepped away from that charity amid concerns that it created potential conflicts for her husband on hot-button issues before the court.
Thomas’s activism has set her apart from other spouses of Supreme Court justices. She has allied with numerous people and groups that have interests before the court, and she has dedicated herself to causes involving some of the most polarizing issues in the country.
In 2020, she privately pressed White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to pursue efforts to overturn the presidential election, and she sent emails urging swing-state lawmakers to set aside Joe Biden’s popular-vote victory in awarding electoral votes. When those efforts were revealed by The Post last year, they intensified questions about whether her husband should recuse himself from cases related to the election and attempts to subvert it.
In recent months, the high court has faced increasing scrutiny over a range of ethical issues, including the lack of transparency surrounding potential conflicts of interest and a whistleblower’s claim that wealthy Christian activists sought access to justices at social gatheringsto shore up their resolve on abortion and other conservative priorities.
In a brief statement to The Post, Mark Paoletta, a lawyer for Ginni Thomas, said she was “proud of the work she did with Crowdsourcers, which brought together conservative leaders to discuss amplifying conservative values with respect to the battle over culture.”
“She believes Crowdsourcers identified the Left’s dominance in most cultural lanes, while conservatives were mostly funding political organizations,” Paoletta wrote. “In her work, she has complied with all reporting and disclosure requirements.”
He wrote: “There is no plausible conflict of interest issue with respect to Justice Thomas.”
A spokeswoman for the Supreme Court did not respond to questions for Clarence Thomas.
In 2019, anonymous donors gave the think tank Capital Research Center, or CRC, $596,000 that was designated for Crowdsourcers, according to tax filings and audits the think tank submitted to state regulators. The majority of that money, $400,000, was routed through yet another nonprofit, Donors Trust, according to that organization’s tax filings. Donors Trust is a fund that receives money fromwealthy donors whose identities are not disclosed and steers it toward conservative causes.
The documents do not say how or whether the money was spent. It is not clear how much compensation, if any, Ginni Thomas received.
CRC, which bills itself as an “investigative think tank,” is dedicated to uncovering anonymously funded influence campaigns by unions, environmental groups and other left-leaning nonprofits. Among its trustees is Edwin Meese III, the conservative elder statesman and former attorney general in the Reagan administration. Its president is Scott Walter, a former aide to President George W. Bush.
DeSantis' board says Disney stripped them of power
4 mins ago
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Board members picked by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to oversee the governance of Walt Disney World said Wednesday that their Disney-controlled predecessors pulled a fast one on them by passing restrictive covenants that strip the new board of many of its powers.
The current supervisors of the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District said at a meeting that their predecessors last month signed a development agreement with the company that gave Disney maximum developmental power over the theme park resort's 27,000 acres in central Florida.
The five supervisors were appointed by the Republican governor to the board after the Florida Legislature overhauled Disney's government in retaliation for the entertainment giant publicly opposing so-called “Don’t Say Gay” legislation that bars instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through third grade, as well as lessons deemed not age-appropriate.
In taking on Disney, DeSantis furthered his reputation as a culture warrior willing to battle perceived political enemies and wield the power of state government to accomplish political goals, a strategy that is expected to continue ahead of his potential White House run.
The new supervisors replaced a board that had been controlled by Disney during the previous 55 years that the government operated as the Reedy Creek Improvement District. The new board members held their first meeting earlier this month and said they found out about the agreement after their appointments.
“We’re going to have to deal with it and correct it,” board member Brian Aungst said Wednesday. “It’s a subversion of the will of the voters and the Legislature and the governor. It completely circumvents the authority of this board to govern.”
In a statement, Disney said all agreements were above board and took place in public.
“All agreements signed between Disney and the District were appropriate, and were discussed and approved in open, noticed public forums in compliance with Florida’s Government in the Sunshine law,” the statement said.
Separately, Disney World service workers on Wednesday were voting on whether to accept a union contract offer that would raise the starting minimum wage to $18 an hour by the end of the year.
The agreement covers around 45,000 service workers at the Disney theme park resort, including costumed performers who perform as Mickey Mouse and other Disney characters, bus drivers, culinary workers, lifeguards, theatrical workers and hotel housekeepers.
Workers could see their hourly wages rise between $5.50 and $8.60 an hour by the end of the five-year contract if it’s approved, according to union leaders.
A contract approved five years ago made Disney the first major employer in central Florida to agree to a minimum hourly wage of $15, setting the trend for other workers in the region dominated by hospitality jobs.

Rep. Matt Gaetz (Fla.) was the first Republican to come to Donald Trump’s defense on social media. “President Donald Trump always fought for us,” Gaetz said on Twitter moments after news of the indictment broke. “He puts the American people above corrupt interests. For that reason alone, the powerful will never stop coming for him.”
Republicans called the indictment of former Donald Trump a political hit job, enacted by a rogue district attorney who is unfairly using the legal system to stymie the GOP’s strongest presidential candidate.
House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) wrote on Twitter: “The sham New York indictment of President Donald Trump is one of the clearest examples of extremist Democrats weaponizing government to attack their political opponents.”
House Republican Conference Chair Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) who rose to the Republican House Leadership after becoming a vocal Trump defender, in a statement called the indictment an “unprecedented election interference from corrupt Socialist District Attorney Alvin Bragg." She also said tens of millions of Trump supporters “have never been so energized” to organize and vote for Trump next year.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), an outspoken supporter of Trump, called for retaliation, writing on social media, “Impeach Biden.”
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), a likely rival to Trump for the 2024 GOP nomination, said in a tweet that “Florida will not assist in an extradition request given the questionable circumstances at issue with this Soros-backed Manhattan prosecutor and his political agenda.” The issue may be decided by a judge rather than DeSantis. Or Trump could go voluntarily.

Until the evidence is presented and they scurry like the rats they are from a sinking ship. And Lindsey Flimsey Flip Flop Faloozy will continue to honor his moniker.
Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) said he talked to Donald Trump on Thursday night for a couple of minutes and the former president was “upset and disappointed, but he was very calm.”
Graham said in an interview that Trump told him that “they are using the law as a weapon against me.”
“I told him I agreed with that,” Graham said, adding that he counseled Trump to “stay calm and see this through the system.”
“I told him, under scrutiny I think this case will fold like a cheap suit, Mr. President. You’ve got a legal team representing you. Focus on your campaign and your legal case,” Graham said.
Graham said Trump did not mention wanting any protests, and that he would advise him not to call for those: “I don’t think that would be a good idea.”
He said he also did not talk to Trump about his plans to surrender or appear in New York.
“At the end of the day, he’s confident that most people are going to consider this a politically motivated endeavor,” Graham said. “He thinks most people will see it as a weaponization of the law.”
“From a political point of view, it’s going to solidify Trump’s standing in the Republican Party,” Graham said.

She showing up with her AR15 slung over her shoulder and her sidearm strapped to her hip? I mean she is going to that crime infested dem run city. Careful Maggie.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), a staunch ally of former president Donald Trump, announced on Twitter that she plans to be in New York on Tuesday to protest during Trump’s expected arraignment.
“I’m going to New York on Tuesday,” Greene wrote. “We MUST protest the unconstitutional WITCH HUNT!”
Earlier this month, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) pushed back on Trump’s calls for protests if he were to be indicted.
“I don’t think people should protest this, no,” McCarthy said on March 19 at a Republican retreat in Orlando. “We want calmness out there.”
Days later, Trump warned on social media of “potential death & destruction” if he were to be charged in the criminal case related to hush-money payments to adult-film actress Stormy Daniels to conceal an alleged an affair.

Republican lawmakers in Texas proposed a bill that would enable the
secretary of state to overturn election results in counties that have
one million residents or more.
Senate Bill 1993
was introduced on Thursday by state senators. It would allow the
secretary of state – currently a Republican – to order a new election
and gain district court-level authority.
The text of the bill states that “the secretary of state shall order a
new election if the secretary has good cause to believe that at least
two percent of the total number of polling places in the county did not
receive supplemental ballots under Section 51.008 for one or more hours
after making a request for supplemental ballots to the authority
responsible for distributing election supplies.”
The legislation further says that “the secretary of state shall have the same authority granted to a district court.”
The passage of the bill would affect six Texas counties: Harris, Dallas, Tarrant, Bexar, Travis, and Collin.
Harris County experienced an onslaught of conspiracy theory attacks
during the 2020 and 2022 elections due to having technical difficulties
ranging from the polling sites opening late to having a shortage of
paper ballots.
