I did a news search about Alito just to see if there was any other chatter about his financial entanglements with the fossil fuel industry, and your post and one other article from a climate-centered site came up. As usual, independent journalists are leading the charge while major outlets are out to lunch.
With the current U.S. government, it's all about the money. Little else matters. Thomas's funded trips and extra homes, Alito's fossil fuel conflicts, and so many other things by these people. It's like a free for all anymore. Burn it all down and start over. Fire all of these corrupt people and start from scratch. There are a handful that we could use as seed stock to get started but purge the rest.
Keeps getting better for Alito. Jeeze. Apparently, conflict of interest is an unknown concept these days. I'm guessing that a review of many of the other justices--and, of course, those in Congress--will revel similar holdings, not that there is any basis for such cynicism, right?

Love it - glad to see some SEO and maybe AI tools are keeping up with the evolution in news reporting we are in the midst of...
Just contacted Senators McCormick and Fetterman to express my concern with the obvious ethics violation.

Thanks for your work, Emily.
