Of course criminal slumlord Jared Kushner is behind Paramount’s hostile $108B bid to acquire Warner Bros.
Faking a Middle East peace mission and illegally accepting $2B from Saudi Arabia in exchange for US intel wasn’t enough for this crook. They should’ve jailed him long ago.

A Palestinian man, like thousands in Gaza, watched his only shelter disappear under floodwaters. After months of pleas, the world stays silent. Families now face freezing cold, heavy rain and rising floods with nothing but drenched, fragile tents for protection.

interesting choice to project "LET THEM BE KIDS" onto the Sydney Harbour Bridge as part of the celebrations of the teen social media ban
It's not a line that came from Albanese or the government — it's the name of News Corp's campaign for the ban.
