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.

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.
Philip Alito served as an attorney-adviser in Treasury’s general counsel office, briefed on department matters across the board, while SCOTUS took a case in which the Treasury Department was a named defendant.
The department never disclosed the connection in court.
Justice Alito did not recuse.
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No public resume, no mention on the Treasury website, outdated bar listings. Four former officials confirmed it.
The public was never told.
Here is why that matters.
Trump is doing it June 14.
And the people who called Obama undignified for putting his feet on the desk have nothing to say.
Can you imagine if Obama had hosted a cage fight on the South Lawn of the White House.
On his own birthday.
With 1,000 tickets handed to himself.
While Republican lobbyists begged for the leftovers.
Fox would have run a 24-hour countdown clock to impeachment.
The walls are closing in.
Kill the slush fund.
Claw back every dollar.
And if the court finds fraud, hold every person who signed that agreement accountable.

The former judges told the court the deal “raises profound questions about the parties’ candor toward the court and manipulation of the judicial system.”
Translation: this looks like fraud.
Senate Republicans are already balking. Capitol Police officers injured on January 6th are suing.
Hours later, a “settlement” magically appeared: a $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund to pay off his allies, including January 6 insurrectionists, plus blanket immunity from past IRS investigations for him, his sons, and his businesses.
Trump sued his own IRS in January demanding $10 billion. The judge started asking hard questions, because the President was literally on both sides of the case.
Two days before briefs were due, Trump yanked the suit.
BREAKING: 35 former federal judges, bipartisan, just asked the court to reopen Trump’s sham lawsuit against the IRS and investigate whether the so-called “settlement” was a fraud on the court.
Here is what happened.
This is your daily reminder that Trump and Republicans are spending billions of your tax dollars on an unauthorized war in Iran and Stephen Miller’s ICE agenda while gutting Medicaid, slashing SNAP, and driving up your health care costs.

May God bless our fallen heroes, and the families who carry them every single day.

And I learned, as a boy, that there are some debts that cannot be repaid. They can only be honored.
Today, say their names. Tell their stories.
But connected by one thing: a willingness to serve something larger than themselves.
My grandfather was one of them. He flew over the Pacific in World War II.
He made it home.
Many friends didn’t.
He rarely spoke about the ones who didn't, but when he did, his voice changed and he grew quiet.
Fewer than half.
Throughout my time in Congress, I have met veterans from every walk of life. Different backgrounds, different hometowns, different generations, different wars.
Last Memorial Day, the San Diego Union-Tribune ran a piece on what this day really means.
One number stopped me then, and it stops me now.
According to a USAA survey, only 46 percent of American adults know this day is meant to honor U.S. military personnel who died in service to our country.
Thousands of Marines from Camp Pendleton are deployed in the Middle East right now.
Their families deserve to know the mission, the strategy, and the plan to bring them home. So do the American people. I won’t stop pressing for those answers.
