Jared Kushner received $2 billion from Saudi Arabia & the UAE to carry out political favors and was encouraged to keep the money in Israel’s central bank. This is the biggest corruption scandal in political history. Kushner has managed to outcrime Trump!

The people of Serbia celebrating the defeat of the dictator who held full authoritarian control of their country for nearly 14 years. This is what democracy looks like.

Kushner appeared to transfer large sums from the account to other people, including a warlord, a mercenary and a former hit man.

I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on, nobody should support this kind of deception. They created a fake pamphlet to spark trans outrage and sent it to every home in Texas. Then their paid shills continued the outrage on social media. Politics is broken.

Team Paxton appears to have sent out fake mailers to Texas voters impersonating a trans student group and claiming to want to help kids secretly transition. The actual group said they had nothing to do with it, despite the mailers copying their aesthetic, and the address traces to a random UPS box.

Trump's endorsement of Netanyahu should permanently close Gaza critics' mouths about Kamala Harris and any other Democrat that runs for president. No President of the United States has ever openly endorsed a candidate in an Israeli election, or anywhere else.

The president does not own this country. Billionaires do not own this country. A senate seat doesn’t belong to a person who has held it for 30 years. It still belongs to the people of Maine.

The Starlink/Star Shield pull back is indefensible.

Trump and Musk are doing everything they can to try and force Ukraine to surrender to Putin while Musk spends over $300 million to try and buy the midterm elections to maintain total power. The American government under Republicans are on the side of evil. Vote them out.
