Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $20 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

Justice Alito Flew Another Right-Wing Flag Used by Trump Supporters Outside Holiday Home

HeadlineMay 23, 2024

Another flag favored by die-hard Trump supporters was seen on display outside another one of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s homes. The New York Times reports the “An Appeal to Heaven” flag — a symbol carried by insurrectionists on January 6 — was photographed flying in front of Alito’s New Jersey vacation house last summer. The flag, featuring a pine tree, is found in far-right Christian circles.

This comes just a week after The New York Times reported Alito flew an upside-down U.S. flag outside his Virginia home in January 2021, a symbol used by election deniers. Even before Wednesday’s latest revelation, some 50 House Democrats wrote a letter calling on Alito to recuse himself from January 6-related cases, including Trump’s claim to presidential immunity in his election subversion cases. The “An Appeal to Heaven” flag also hangs outside the office of House Speaker Mike Johnson.
