In 2021, Jared Kushner claimed he was leaving politics. Instead, armed with billions in funding from Middle East autocrats, he is brokering “peace” deals for Trump that double as real estate ventures and positioning himself at the center of Trump's media ambitions. None of it is an accident.

This is a genuine question:

At that moment, a reporter says something like, "That's a lie! Why do you continue to lie to the American people?"'

Other than generating viral posts and driving the news cycle for a few hours, what do you think would then happen?
This the core problem with the White House Press Corps encapsulated: Karoline Leavitt just lied right to your face, you know she's incorrect, and you just move on to your next topic.

It matters that she's wrong and/or lying about it! Stay there!
Q: You acknowledged that CPI in January was 3%. In September, the last month we have data, it was also 3%

LEAVITT: It's 2.5%

Q: Not in September. It was 3%

LEAVITT: I have it in front of me

Let’s never forget this historic moment when we had a President who cared about the health & wellbeing of ALL Americans.

Let’s never forget the greedy PedoPrez & its Guardians Of Pedophiles who’ve made affordable healthcare a thing of the past. Dump them all.

#Pinks #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory
This is the moment when more than 30 million Americans received affordable healthcare in 2010.

Today, Republicans have voted to make healthcare UNAFFORDABLE for more than 40 million.

The #RepublicanHealthCareFailure and greed will cost thousands of lives.

Vote and make Trump a lame duck in 2026.

WSJ has an interesting visual on Trump's pardons, and I'm glad for the increased focus.

One thing that's missing, IMO, is a focus on who is harmed by these pardons.

Dear everyone in Congress (including @chrismurphyct.bsky.social): Please make it easier for people to find and embed your videos -- perhaps a parallel page to your press releases on Congressional site or ensure all your vids are on your YouTube site.

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.

It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

This is probably the clearest indication yet that the administration understands what they’re doing in the Caribbean is illegal.

They’re now threatening the ICC with sanctions if they investigate Trump and his team.

Thinking of that time when my dad, himself a doctor, was thrown by a horse on a trail ride. Punctured his spleen, internal bleeding, got him to an ER just in time. He lived another 20 years. With two hours delay, probably wouldn't have.

We rushed to *nearest* ER. Not comparison-shop for ER prices.

Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control.

All-seeing surveillance systems don’t make us safer. They are in direct opposition to our civil liberties.

GOP Rep. Randy Fine says he's "not afraid" of being called "Islamophobic" and that, instead of making peace with Palestinians, "destroy them first."

This was during a hearing on "Judea and Samaria"—a term used to erase Palestinian ties to what's actually known as the West Bank.
