Just curious, in what capacity was Jared Kushner speaking about the affordability crisis

Jeffries on meeting with Jared Kushner: "He asked for a meeting. I took it. Nothing more, nothing less. We had conversations largely focused on, from my perspective, the affordability crisis."

One year ago today, Minnesota Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were senselessly murdered in an act of political violence. In their memory, we recommit ourselves to the values that Melissa and Mark exemplified: building a kinder, more just, and loving world.

look, i know johnny fox addict will believe this shit. but nobody else will. even for people who dont live in the dc region, we know this is bullshit. people know these things are american icons and major tourist attractions, and if it looked like trash, youd have heard about it.

I think it’s extremely important for Trump supporters to directly suffer the consequences of their choices It’s the ONLY way they ever learn anything

Hearing from Trumpists and their fellow travelers today, I've come to realize that if we build a huge, gilded ballroom at every elementary and secondary school in America, our schoolchildren will be so much safer from the scourge of constant gun violence.

I doubt the Secret Service or the White House knows much more than we do and so surely this speech from Trump will focus on reassuring and calming the nation...
