BREAKING: HOLY SH*T! Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's son secretly received a top job inside the Trump administration while Alito was ruling on massive cases involving the White House.

This is corruption, nepotism, and in-kind bribery all wrapped up in one...

Philip Alito, the son of far-right Justice Samuel Alito, was given an appointment as a lawyer at the Treasury Department early on in Trump's second term. His father was aware of the appointment and did nothing to block it, unsurprising since Alito has zero interest in avoiding conflicts of interest or maintaining the legitimacy of the court.

This is the same Samuel Alito who was caught accepting bribes from billionaire Paul Singer in the form of luxury jet travel and an expensive fishing vacation. And that's just what we know about.

According to NOTUS, four government officials confirmed that Alito's son is working inside the office of the general counsel, which supports Treasury Secretary Bessent. Notus described the arrangement as a "closely guarded secret."

Philip Alito, in an apparent effort to maintain a low profile, does not have a public resume, LinkedIn profile, or a presence on the Treasury Department. Most of the images available of him online are older, from when his father was first appointed to the court. He's a ghost in the system, getting paid by our tax dollars, and presumably whispering in his father's ear to tilt rulings in Trump's favor.

“Everybody knew who he was. I think it’s fair to say he kept a pretty low profile. I kind of had the impression that he was kind of a little bit sheepish about his celebrity affiliation. You’d go into a meeting and if people were introducing themselves by first and last name, he’d just say ‘Phil,’ not Phil Alito. He’s a pretty soft-spoken guy,” one official stated.

The efforts to keep his identity shielded from not only the public, but his co-workers, proves that he knows what he's doing is deeply improper. If there was nothing to hide, he wouldn't need to keep his head down. But Alito, and presumably his father, know that this appointment further damages what little credibility the Supreme Court has left.

“There’s no doubt he got that position because of who he is,” another official told NOTUS. “[Advisers] are in all the meetings, so they knew all the issues across the board.”

Damningly, the younger Alito was working his Treasury job when the court ruled on Trump's tariffs. While the administration was ultimately defeated, Justice Alito joined with Brett Kavanaugh to rule in favor of Trump. At no point in the process did he disclose in court documents that his son was working for one side, nor did he recuse himself. The administration is insisting that the younger Alito had no role in the case, but this White House lies through its teeth at every turn.

And the problem hasn't diminished in the slightest. Trump's $1.776 billion slush fund for January 6th insurrectionists, MAGA loyalist, and Republican child molesters is getting hammered by lawsuits right now. When one of these cases inevitably ends up in front of the Supreme Court, Justice Alito will once again be ruling on a case in which his son has a vested interest in a particular outcome.

These crooks are laughing in our faces as they line their pockets, rig the system, and set their children up to do the same for the next generation.

Phillip Alito must be fired and Samuel Alito must be impeached!

Please ❤️ and share to demand that the proverbial heads start rolling!

[💙 Liberal 💙 is a compliment! @LadyBlueInCA]

@allenanalysis I sure do hope Jack Smith gets invited to investigate and prosecute Trump once he’s not in office.

And to all of those corrupt enablers in the GOP… those who not only cross the line of ethical, they keep moving it…

Karma is a bitch.

Trump keeps “finding” federal properties to “renovate” or “improve” using public financing. He assigns the projects to buddies without competitive bidding and overpays by as much as seven times the actual cost. What do we think is happening with all the extra money going to these buddies? He’s embezzling taxpayer dollars through procurement fraud, of course. That overflow cash is being split on the back end and going straight into his wallet.

This is commonly prosecuted as a form of racketeering, and Trump is 100% going on trial for RICO once he’s no longer protected from indictment by the presidency — one of the reasons increasing numbers of people widely expect him to put up a massive extraconstitutional fight to stay in office if Republicans lose in 2028.

@allenanalysis They don't. Piggy is getting kickbacks from the contractors. It is all one big scam.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

BREAKING: CNN reports Trump’s White House ballroom and renovation projects are now facing scrutiny over massive costs, inflated profit margins, and no-bid contracts.

According to reporting, one renovation project tied to the White House reflecting pool ballooned to $13.1 million; roughly seven times higher than Trump initially estimated, while investigators say the contractor received unusually high profit margins.

And now, while inflation hits a three-year high and Americans struggle with rent, groceries, and gas…

Why does Washington suddenly have unlimited money for spectacle?

[Cardoc @autodr101]

@OccupyDemocrats GOOD. It's exactly that kind of shit that DJT tried 2 pull 2 create a positive legacy 4 himself. A legacy that's so far in the toilet not even linking himself 2 great presidents or great men can salvage. He doesn't understand what it takes 2 be great himself. So he never will be.

[John Man 🌊💙🇺🇸 @JohnManNotSuper]

@OccupyDemocrats Glad someone finally cleared up the naming mandate, though the circus surrounding it feels pretty exhausting. Watching federal law override vanity projects is fair, but let’s be honest, the real win is just keeping a public institution open for everyone.

[Johnson @maggiej464748]

@OccupyDemocrats Thank you US District Judge Christopher Cooper for not being afraid of President Trump, and restoring the Kennedy Center and memory back.

[Occupy Democrats @OccupyDemocrats]

BREAKING: HELL YES! A federal judge orders the removal of Donald Trump's name from the Kennedy Center and halts his shutdown of the beloved center.

This is an astonishing defeat for MAGA...

U.S. District Judge ‌Christopher ⁠Cooper has given the Trump administration just 14 days to remove every single sign at the center bearing Trump's name and to delete all references to a "Trump Kennedy Center" in official materials for the center.

Cooper's ruling is a permanent injunction which asserts that the center’s board of trustees — which is stocked with Donald's MAGA cronies — may not proceed with its plans to close the institution for two years. The bizarre closure was originally announced after a string of prominent artists canceled performances in response to Trump’s takeover of the center. Ticket sales were also struggling.

The judge explicitly stated that all signage is barred from indicating that the building “is named for any person other than President John F. Kennedy.”

Cooper slammed the board for using “an insufficient, one-sided presentation of information” when it moved to close the center. Meanwhile, federal law “makes crystal clear” that the center is named after Kennedy, an actual President.

This court defeat is a major black eye for Trump because unlike the Iran War or the skyrocketing price of groceries, it’s something he actually cares about.

As it becomes increasingly clear that he will go down as the worst President in American history, a leader who failed his people, future generations, and basic morality, Trump has been scrambling to carve out some kind of legacy for himself. It’s the same warped pathology that has him fixated on his ballroom, the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, his Triumph Arch, and slapping his face on $250.

Please ❤️ and share to thank the judge!

@cnnbrk Thank you to the Judge that has balls. I wish more judges were like this judge.

[GACHE @GilbertoChirin5]

@cnnbrk @Alejo22_88MM He knows that everything he does is illegal but he keep us busy fighting until SCOTUS take the case and give him the victory
Meanwhile we forget about the Epstein’s files

@cnnbrk @jamiegangel AND the proviso that Trump, his business and his offspring are forever protected from IRS investigations??!

[Stephanie Alexandra @Sam_Alexandra23]

@cnnbrk Good because Trump just keeps coming up with one scheme after another to enrich himself, his family and friends!

[Cathy Stone.. No DMs please @CathySt35873400]

@cnnbrk That fund is absolute insanity. Has every criteria to be a scam. There is probably zero oversize.
Taxpayers will never know where the money will go. Why Republicans tolerate this is so hard to understand. It reflects on the entire party.

[Elvis Rivera @Elvistcb12]

@cnnbrk VERY GOOD. Don’t use taxpayer money. Trump
Shoukd pay his own money not our for white extremists racist Nazi thugs attack the capital on January 6, and hit police officers in the head with American flag poles and breaking windows and breaking doors to get in

[Swing Trader Saan @Trader_Saan]

@cnnbrk Trump fuming where he is right now, but definitely a Good call. Courts are doing their job here
