Kushner took a $50 mn bribe from the Emiratis to orchestrate the firing of Rex Tillerson as secretary of state, according to Matt Cole's new book, Princes and Thieves, out today. To be clear, this is a serious felony, if true.

“It makes no sense that we should be afraid of places where people can get most of what we need, closer by… Just convenient options that don’t need a car every time. It’s just a normal, ‘common sense’ place to live — as most cities used to be, before we mandated car dependency.” @usa.streetsblog.org

A game-changer, not just for civic life in London, but for the idea of street transformations for people all over the world.

Well played

Fintan O'Toole: Kushner’s political and financial relationship with the UAE’s president, Mohammed bin Zayed ...constitutes what must surely be the worst case of US foreign policy being conducted outside the law and democratic oversight since the Iran-contra scandal...

i don't think anyone should run explicitly on banning online gambling but i do think that a democratic-led government should just quietly take steps to undermine the industry and create an inhospitable regulatory environment

Romania's Intelligence Service said on Monday it had identified a sabotage network coordinated by Russia, which it believed was responsible ​for a fire in September at an industrial site in central ‌Romania near a state-owned weapons company. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

it feels truly insane that it’s not

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

I have zero sympathy for anyone involved in this grotesque farce. When you travel all the way to DC to go to the home of the most infamous fascist in US history and get ushered into his office alongside a videographer and photographer, you know *exactly* what vile game you're playing. Disgraceful.

TRUMP: “Have you seen the crowd outside? 22,000 people watching. We love you out there. They’re watching the Jumbotrons.” 📌 The entire population of Corinth, Mississippi, is approximately 14,000 people. The man can’t even lie right.

You have to really, really, really fucking suck for your 8th grade teacher to come out and shame you like this. Damn.

Jayapal, Raskin, and more than 170 other House Democrats authored letter. What about Schumer? Conspicuously absent.

Because those are all owned by billionaires who are also on the epstien files for stuff... Their bosses don't allow them to report on it..

Huge headlines around the world. In major US media, unreported. Something's fishy here.

Robert's Right ✅️.......

Before the 2008 crash, Wall Street hid massive financial risks using accounting tricks. Now Big Tech appears to be following the same playbook. Americans and our entire economy are at risk because Trump’s regulators are choosing to look the other way.
