Following intense public pressure, Jared Kushner’s firm has pulled out of developing a Trump hotel in Belgrade, Serbia. Not only did the protests push Kushner out, so far four Serbian government officials involved in the project have been charged with corruption-related offenses.

When asked by reporters about the bogus DoD investigation into his actions, Kelly said: “This is all a bunch of bulls**t … They’re going after me, a US Senator, for something I said that was lawful, was the truth … It was something that Pete Hegseth said in 2016 multiple times.”

The one thing I'll say is that the Trump post on the Reiners is even more deranged and cut off from all reality when you remember that Michele shot the cover photo for Art of the Deal. Trump usually never passes up a chance to point out stuff like that. He's lost all grip on reality.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Let me make it clear I’m against Netflix acquiring Warner Bros Discovery. That would concentrate corporate power in ways that harm consumers and distort American politics. But Paramount’s acquisition of Warner Bros would be worse.

Trump pardoned Tina Peters was a Colorado election official who helped spread Trump’s Big Lie, and was found guilty of 7 of 10 election-fraud related charges.
The only problem is, she was convicted on state charges—and presidential pardons don’t apply to state crimes.
