I’d rather question why is Kushner there and why is he laying out a vision? We did not vote him into any gov position nor the senate we voted for has approved his candidacy.
This isn’t a grey zone anymore, it’s 50 shades of grey.

Let's also not forget that when Marjorie Taylor Greene entered Congress in 2021, she was worth about $700,000. She leaves five years later, worth around $25,000,000.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

Disgusted, demoralized and despondent. Democrats held the biggest protest marches in history, swept nearly every toss-up election from coast to coast *this week* and saw the same polling: voters blamed the GOP for the shutdown. They didn't *get* rolled -- they rolled themselves.
