Dear MAHA—you’ve been conned by Trump and RFK Jr… food safety laws now decimated by industry lobbyists for their profits and your future diarrhea. Fun fact— food borne illness already surging since EFK Jr slashed CDC tracking system for food borne outbreaks. www.levernews.com/shutdown-dea...

In the transcript of her interview, Ghislaine Maxwell was told she could not lie to DOJ officials.
The email that’s most newsworthy in my mind is the one that Epstein sent to Ghislaine Maxwell in 2011.

There was a scene in Zorba the Greek where the old prostitute is dying, and all these old women dressed in black flock in like crows to steal her possessions. That's what Jared's businesses remind me of, carrion waiting to profit off the former life & light of defeated people in ravaged countries.

Thousands protest Jared Kushner-linked development on site of bombed-out Belgrade building

Thousands of people have protested against a plan to tear down a former army headquarters in the Serbian capital Belgrade to make way for a luxury hotel complex, as part of a project linked to US president Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner.
