During Coney Barrett’s confirmation hearings, @SenWhitehouse “documented the three legs of the effort operating behind the scenes to remake the federal judiciary. 1. The Federalist Society - which screens and selects extremist judges, …immasmartypants.blogspot.com/2021/02/why-po… 1/

@twittlesis 6/ The Judicial Crisis Network (led by Carrie Severino) calls itself the Concord Fund in tax filings. It is reportedly associated with Leonard Leo as well. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judicial_…
@twittlesis 7/ Leonard Leo protege Carrie Severino is 1/2 of a “power couple.” The other 1/2 is Roger Severino, VP of Domestic Policy at the Heritage Foundation, lead organizer of Project 2025. heritage.org/staff/roger-se…
@twittlesis 8/ Roger Severino is also an author of Project 2025. He wrote the chapter about taking control of Health & Human Services and removing FDA approval of the abortion pill. thf_media.s3.amazonaws.com/project2025/20…
@twittlesis 9/ Given Carrie Severino’s ties to Leonard Leo (and Roger Severino’s ties to Project 2025), I guess we shouldn’t be surprised that Leo’s network—and groups that have received funding from it—have funneled over $50.7 million to the groups advising Project 2025.
