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!
Todd Blanche is covering up rape while criminally investigating a woman who won $80 million because the President (his former client) raped her.
History will remember this man as an evil, corrupt piece of shit
I guarantee it.
Trump isn’t unique in opposing an Iranian nuclear weapon. Obama worked with China, Russia, and our allies on a deal with real limits and inspections—and a decade later, Iran still didn’t have a nuclear bomb. Now Trump is taking a military approach. Will it work better?
Hey MAGA Texans.
Let me introduce you to Adam Hoffman. He raped his son’s best friend from the age of six years old to nine years old. For three years this man raped a little boy.
Paxton made sure his buddy only got a 60 day sentence. Oh wait it gets better, he didn't even serve the full sixty days.
Wait wait, it's gets even better. He doesn't have to register as a sex offender and his record has been wiped clean.
MAGA maniacs want women to go to prison for miscarriages but are cool with pedophiles going free.
Ken Paxton is a disgusting criminal, that's why Trump endorsed him.
Make sure you have a plan to vote. @jamestalarico is what Texas needs. Not more of the Epstein Class.

Yes, in January 2020 during her presidential campaign, Tulsi Gabbard promoted and sold "No War With Iran" t-shirts via her official store (https://t.co/uwYU3HIgID). She tweeted the design amid U.S.-Iran tensions after the Soleimani strike, with the shirts featuring that slogan on the front.
@SecKennedy McGregor was found liable for sexual assault in 2024 and the jury ordered him to pay the victim $257,000. He lost all his appeals.
This administration just loves perps. #EpsteinFiles
Just a reminder that Trump’s former criminal defense attorney turned Dep. AG Todd Blanche transferred Ghislaine Maxwell to a Club Fed where she now plays with puppies and goes to yoga classes.
@NancyMace Tariffs Are Tax payers 💵. Republicans pushed for international trade agreements that shipped US jobs overseas. This brought bigger profits to corporations at the expense of average American jobs. Know better.
@SenBillCassidy Face it, Insurance is a scam. You pay for coverage for years and when you finally need it, they find loopholes to deny coverage. I want legislation that establishes #MedicareforAll and bypasses the Insurance companies. Original Medicare & no more Medicare advantage plans
Mark Zuckerberg is building a data center in Louisiana that will use 3x more electricity than all of New Orleans.
Oligarchs want YOU to pay for these data centers with higher water & electric bills.
Americans must fight back against billionaires who put profits over people.
