Anytime I forget the laundry list of awful things about Trump, I’m gonna look at this list. Incredible.

Tim Ream was initially booked after Almirón won a free kick, but VAR intervened for a “mistaken identity” review, overturned Ream’s yellow card, and instead booked Almirón for simulation. 🤯🟨

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!

Just going to keep posting this to counter the ridiculous bullshit until someone makes me stop.

The Special Counsel investigation uncovered extensive criminal activity
•The investigation produced 37 indictments; seven guilty pleas or convictions; and compelling evidence that the president obstructed justice on multiple occasions. Mueller also uncovered and referred 14 criminal matters to other components of the Department of Justice.
•Trump associates repeatedly lied to investigators about their contacts with Russians, and President Trump refused to answer questions about his efforts to impede federal proceedings and influence the testimony of witnesses.
•A statement signed by over 1,000 former federal prosecutors concluded that if any other American engaged in the same efforts to impede federal proceedings the way Trump did, they would likely be indicted for multiple charges of obstruction of justice.

Russia engaged in extensive attacks on the U.S. election system in 2016
•Russian interference in the 2016 election was “sweeping and systemic.”[1]
•Major attack avenues included a social media “information warfare” campaign that “favored” candidate Trump[2] and the hacking of Clinton campaign-related databases and release of stolen materials through Russian-created entities and Wikileaks.[3]
•Russia also targeted databases in many states related to administering elections gaining access to information for millions of registered voters.[4]

The investigation “identified numerous links between the Russian government and the Trump Campaign” and established that the Trump Campaign “showed interest in WikiLeaks's releases of documents and welcomed their potential to damage candidate Clinton” 
•In 2015 and 2016, Michael Cohen pursued a hotel/residence project in Moscow on behalf of Trump while he was campaigning for President.[5]Then-candidate Trump personally signed a letter of intent.
•Senior members of the Trump campaign, including Paul Manafort, Donald Trump, Jr., and Jared Kushner took a June 9, 2016, meeting with Russian nationals at Trump Tower, New York, after outreach from an intermediary informed Trump, Jr., that the Russians had derogatory information on Clinton that was “part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump.”[6]
•Beginning in June 2016, a Trump associate “forecast to senior [Trump] Campaign officials that WikiLeaks would release information damaging to candidate Clinton.”[7] A section of the Report that remains heavily redacted suggests that Roger Stone was this associate and that he had significant contacts with the campaign about Wikileaks.[8]
•The Report described multiple occasions where Trump associates lied to investigators about Trump associate contacts with Russia. Trump associates George Papadopoulos, Rick Gates, Michael Flynn, and Michael Cohen all admitted that they made false statements to federal investigators or to Congress about their contacts. In addition, Roger Stone faces trial this fall for obstruction of justice, five counts of making false statements, and one count of witness tampering.
•The Report contains no evidence that any Trump campaign official reported their contacts with Russia or WikiLeaks to U.S. law enforcement authorities during the campaign or presidential transition, despite public reports on Russian hacking starting in June 2016 and candidate Trump’s August 2016 intelligence briefing warning him that Russia was seeking to interfere in the election.
•The Report raised questions about why Trump associates and then-candidate Trump repeatedly asserted Trump had no connections to Russia.[9]

“We do not seek regime change” Trump declares as he escalates his regime change war against Iran. Neocons like Graham/Bolton are cheering. To all who voted for Trump bc of his antiwar rhetoric, it’s time to realize he lied to u. Stand with me against Trump’s Iran War! #TrumpsWar

Graham Platner: “The anti-trans campaign in Maine is funded by an out-of-state billionaire to make sure we have this discussion and we don’t talk about raising his taxes. That’s why it exists. I think there are like two trans kids that compete in high school sports in Maine? There are 40K Mainers who are going to lose healthcare because of the lack of the ACA extension. One of those things seems very important and real to me. One of them seems like an invented culture war scare to keep people divided”

STEP 1: Tabloid with no sources makes something up

STEP 2: Sister tabloid reports that tabloid’s “report” of the made up thing

STEP 3: Fox News reports that sister product “report” of the made up “fact”

STEP 4: RW influencers — paid by foreign countries — spread the clips as fact to sow distrust in governmental institutions

STEP 5: MAGA elected officials use online propaganda to pursue unsubstantiated claims and tries to cut funding people rely on
