In an environmental case, the liberal justice questioned whether the high court treats business interests differently from "less powerful litigants."

    In a scathing dissent, Justice Jackson says the Supreme Court gives the impression it favors ‘moneyed interests’

    It’s not an impression. It’s a fact.

    The newsroom ProPublica found that for several years, Clarence Thomas was paid by a group of Billionaires:

    https://www.propublica.org/article/clarence-thomas-other-billionaires-sokol-huizenga-novelly-supreme-court

    In June, the newsroom ProPublica reported that Justice Samuel Alito accepted flights on billionaire Paul Singer’s private jet right before the Supreme Court ruled on a court case involving Paul Singer’s hedge fund

    https://www.propublica.org/article/samuel-alito-luxury-fishing-trip-paul-singer-scotus-supreme-court

    Billionaire Paul Singer is a close friend of Billionaire Rupert Murdoch who owns Fox News and the Wall Street Journal.

    Here is Rupert Murdoch hugging Donald Trump:

    To quote Donald Trump:

    “Rupert Murdoch is in a class by himself, he’s an amazing guy,” President Trump said

    https://thehill.com/media/5133600-trump-murdoch-relation/

    So the Wall Street Journal naturally allowed Samuel Alito to violently attack ProPublica journalists:

    The top editor of the Wall Street Journal published a piece attacking ProPublica:

    https://www.politico.com/news/2023/06/22/wsj-editorial-board-defends-alito-calls-propublica-report-non-scandal-built-on-partisan-spin-00103093

    ProPublica didn’t mislead anyone. Their piece just won the Pullitzer Prize for Investigative Journalism.

    The Wall Street Journal isn’t exactly a neutral source of information.

    In fact, CBS News once described it’s owner Rupert Murdoch as a “friend of Clarence Thomas”

    https://www.cbsnews.com/news/movie-on-clarence-thomas-dropped/


    The US is dominated a small group of businessmen who are coordinating together to influence courts. It’s a conspiracy, but it’s not exactly a theory. The evidence is literally all over the place. It’s happening in plain sight.

    But most people aren’t paying attention 😔

      If you get your news from professional news organizations (PBS, CBC, BBC, ProPublica, Reuters, NYT, The Guardian) you are now in the minority.

      Most people now get their news from entertainers and social media:

      https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-news-consumers-are-turning-podcaster-joe-rogan-away-traditional-sources-2025-06-16/

      Donald Trump said migrants in Springield, Ohio are eating cats and dogs.

      Springfield police said there was no evidence. Professional news organizations sent reporters and said there was no evidence. It didn’t matter. Entertainers and social media figures claimed it’s true. Many people genuinely believed Trump.

      There is a reason why many members of Congress privately say they fear criticizing Elon Musk:

      Even if he does not spend a dime against them, Mr. Musk could use his megaphone to target them

      Interviews with more than half a dozen House Republicans revealed a widespread wariness of crossing Mr. Musk.

      https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/04/us/politics/musk-house-republicans-trump.html

      He can take them down by changing what their constituents see on their X feed.-
