Donald Trump and the GOP are trying to steal, suppress and gerrymander to stay in power. Elias Law Group has 83 active voting and election cases in 42 states. We will not stop fighting. We will not stop winning. ⚖️ 💪🗳️
@lovetoski52@dog_rates My brother's senior dog also has rugs all over and he has a handheld sling for walks (and pooping). Elderly but still happy, just not as mobile.
@maxnesterak One can argue that the small group of people with epilepsy should endure possible sezures vs. honoring a murderer... not even apples and oranges.
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!
Imagine if Biden:
• Created a $1.8 billion slush fund to hand out to rioters who assaulted police officers
• Banned the IRS from auditing him, his family, and his companies
• Accepted a $400 million luxury jet from a foreign monarchy
Pardoned hundreds of people who assaulted police officers
• Openly promoted his own meme coin while in office
• Had family members cutting international business deals while he was in office and directly profiting from them
• Repeatedly “joked” about staying in office past two terms
• Repeatedly praised Xi, Putin, and Kim Jong Un
The outrage would never end.
The fact that people are becoming numb to this level of corruption is insane.

@BillClinton Circa 1960, my dad was at Harvard with Barney Frank. They weren't best friends or anything, but the were co-chairs of the Hubert H. Humphrey for President campaign. Frank was a good man.
@StPaulStray@Dave777222@mnhouseDFL Except a pause when planning to shoot up a school. That pause could help save lives. There's nothing bad about trying to stop school shootings. Love of hunting (or guns), needing a waiting period of a couple days will not impact your hunting season unless you're hunting humans.
@Mpls_Ghetto_Guy@mnhouseDFL I can't respond to the dude who responded and blocked me :). Even it was a tied vote, bring the vote the the chamber, I think you'd be surprised Minnesotans don't want more kid deaths.
@Mpls_Ghetto_Guy@mnhouseDFL Nope. Speaker refused to bring a bill to the floor for a vote. She is running for Gov. and is scared for her & Repubs. would have to vote no on capping magazine limits so more kids can die in school shootings.
House Republicans have abandoned all pretense of even trying to lower costs for the American people. With their poll numbers—and President Trump's—sinking like a stone, they’re working to pass culture-war resolutions and plutocratic legislation to penalize the poor instead of bringing down the high cost of gas, groceries, housing and health care.
Democrats are working to make life affordable again for our people. MAGA Republicans want to placate Donald Trump and serve the billionaire class.
