In this era of polarization and division, I applaud Ryan Walters for his consistent efforts to unite all Oklahomans in a single cause: despising Ryan Walters.
Samuel Alito’s son has worked as a lawyer inside Trump’s Treasury Department since early last year. The administration hid it.
No public resume, no LinkedIn, no mention on the Treasury website, outdated bar listings. Four former officials confirmed it.
The public was never told.
Here is why that matters.
Philip Alito served as an attorney-adviser in Treasury’s general counsel office, briefed on department matters across the board, while the Supreme Court took up a case in which the Treasury Department was a named defendant.
The department never disclosed the connection in court.
Justice Alito did not recuse.
The federal recusal law is plain. A justice must step aside in any case where his impartiality might reasonably be questioned.
That is the test.
Not whether anyone can prove influence but whether a reasonable person looking at this would doubt it. A justice ruling on cases involving the very agency that employs his son fails that test on its face.
And Treasury sits at the center of many upcoming issues, including the fight over Trump’s $1.776 billion dollar fund to reward the January 6th rioters he pardoned. That fight could be headed to the Court too.
This is exactly why the honor system has failed.
The Supreme Court is the only court in America with no enforceable code of conduct. I support withholding funding from the Court until the justices adopt a binding code with real recusal review.
Congress holds the power of the purse.
We should use it.

Hey man Aaron Wiggins has effectively been removed from the rotation but if you watch the bench he is always the first guy standing up to celebrate when OKC makes a shot.
Whether it’s SGA, McCain, Ajay, whoever it is, Wiggs is always up clapping for his teammates.

A year ago we were supposed to be getting $2,000 rebate checks, DOGE was going to find $2 trillion in waste to balance the budget, we were going to pay no income taxes because tariffs would pay for everything, gas & home electric bills would be cut in half, and no new wars.
Over 50 countries allow mail in voting — but anything can be a conspiracy if you just make shit up all of the time and hope no one knows how to Google basic facts.
@duolingo I had a 2,500 day streak before getting locked out of my account, and I have received no response to any of the 20+ Support Request messages I've sent about it over the past six months Any thoughts?
@duolingo Hi! I've sent 20+ Support Request messages about being locked out of my account but have received no response. Two questions: (1) How can I get in touch with a customer service rep? (2) Do you treat all your users this way, or just the ones who have been users for 12 years?
