Kushner is basically running the concierge desk for a Gulf‑funded takeover of key American systems—media, data, and influence—while pretending it’s just “business.

There was always something inexplicably strange about the recent government shutdown. From the beginning, it was crystal clear what Democrats wanted: lower health care costs, affordability and for a lawless president to start obeying the law.
But what about the Republicans?

No surprise there.
How many lies are in the footage that was edited out? Any fearmongering? Threats?
The entire interview should be made public.

As a non-US observer of actions like this I have to say that it is almost inevitable that situation would end up here. The toxicity and anger being generated by Trumps MAGA left no room for compromise. When he’s gone the US will have to look at itself and ask themselves ‘is this who we are now?’
