Deeply conflicted, Kushner represents the U.S. in high-stakes negotiations with Iran Today in Geneva, Switzerland, Jared Kushner will represent the United States in meetings with Iranian officials β€” a last

As Trump ramps up his warmongering with Iran, his own son-in-law Jared Kushner β€” who is leading negotiations with Iran β€” stands to profit from lucrative contracts with its regional rivals.

The Trump family's insatiable greed endangers us all.

The Handbasket 100% independent journalism by Marisa Kabas

Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media.

Off the top of my head:

Kinda weird that the party that controls the House, the Senate, and the White House claims there's rampant voter fraud.

Minnesotans have been on the frontline of the felon’s and his administration’s war against the American people. May the rest of us have the same determination when it’s our turn.

You might think that the inhumane conditions at America's concentration camps is because of this administration's usual lazy incompetence, but, no, it's because of this administration's usual vicious cruelty.

Our taxpayer $$ at work. Will we need these facilities to incarcerate all the corrupt maga criminals of this administration? Once the government owns property, I guess it can be resold. Hopefully. Or turned into some other beneficial use.

Ice agents at polling places should make no difference since people who are not citizens are not allowed to vote. The only problem would be if Ice interferes with voters while they’re waiting to vote. That would be a big problem and they should not be allowed to do that.

The arrest of Don Lemon is textbook fascismβ€”a brazen attempt to silence reporting on a criminal regime. Stand up for Don, because our rights stand and fall with those of courageous journalists throughout this country.
