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!

SO EVERYONE IS A CRIMINAL 🤷

BREAKING: The US Justice Department is seeking the names, addresses, and banking information of Reddit and X users, per Bloomberg. The US Attorney's Office for Washington, led by Jeanine Pirro, a close ally of President Donald Trump, has subpoenaed the social media companies as part of criminal investigations, asking for personal information on at least two anonymous posters behind accounts that have chided immigration enforcement efforts.

🚨INSANE: Trump has reauthorized M-44 CYANIDE BOMBS across 245 MILLION acres of public land to kill coyotes and protect livestock. The problem? The bombs kill ANYTHING that triggers them, INCLUDING LIVESTOCK. Animals suffer slow, horrific deaths. This is pure cruelty.

This is amazing. The New York Times put together a graphic of how much time cabinet members spend kissing up to Trump in meetings. "On average, at least one of every six sentences either flattered Mr. Trump, gave him credit or criticized his political opponents." North Korea.

BREAKING: Look at this. $DELL just won a five-year $9.7 billion Pentagon software agreement for the US military. But Trump also bought $DELL. He bought multiple times since February 10th, up to more than $5,000,000. On May 8th, he said: "Go out and buy a Dell." Unusual.

Elizabeth Warren: Tax AI companies to benefit all Americans

CEOs are quietly realizing the AI replacement plan has a problem. Two problems, actually. One: the token costs for running AI agents are now exceeding what they were paying the employees they fired. Two: when the tokens run out, the AI stops. Just stops. No continuity. No workaround. Just a spinning wheel where your workforce used to be. You fired humans to save money and bought a subscription that bills you into a corner. The employees you let go knew what to do when things broke. The AI just invoices you for the outage. And then there’s the permission problem nobody wants to talk about. To do its job, the AI agent needs access. Full access. Your systems, your patents, your contracts, your future plans. Everything you spent years building, handed over to a process that has no loyalty, no discretion, and no skin in the game. You didn’t hire a replacement. You gave a stranger with no soul the keys to everything you own. Enjoy.

The Trump administration has moved to provide weapons-grade plutonium to private start-ups.

A judge has ruled that corporations can vote in some Delaware elections. Delaware Superior Court Judge Craig Karsnitz said the town of Fenwick Island was not diluting human votes by allowing companies ​and other legal entities that own property to cast votes in municipal elections. These "legal entities" and corporations make up about 12% of registered voters in the town. In total Delaware has far more ​corporations chartered in the state than residents. Judge Karsnitz rejected the constitutional arguments of the ACLU, including the claim that "entity" or corporate voting dilutes the political power of living people.

A great whale sequesters about as much carbon as 1,000 trees when it dies. Whale falls are some of the most important carbon sequestration events in the ocean. Each carcass becomes its own ecosystem on the seabed, hosting deep-sea organisms that depend on it for decades. The carbon doesn't go back into the atmosphere. While alive, whales do something even more important. They dive to feed in deep water, then surface to breathe and defecate, pumping iron and nitrogen from the deep sea up to where phytoplankton can use it. Phytoplankton produce roughly half of Earth's oxygen and absorb enormous quantities of CO2 every year. Healthy whale populations make phytoplankton populations more productive than they otherwise would be. When we kill whales for oil and meat, we dismantle a global carbon-cycling system that took millions of years to evolve. Some great whale species are still at 3 to 5% of their pre-whaling numbers. A whale you'll never see is doing climate work the entire planet depends on. The fewer of them there are, the worse the work gets done.
