Looks like Jared Kushner is having problems at his day job as the founder of Affinity Partners.

Albania’s Special Structure Against Corruption and Organized Crime, known as SPAK, confirmed it was investigating Kushner’s project: A multibillion-dollar resort on Sazan Island. https://t.co/0o8gu5XqRX

NASHVILLE: “Recent reports indicate a data center has been proposed for a site adjacent to the zoo. While the project may be relatively small compared to some massive hyperscale facilities, its location raises serious questions.” https://t.co/tq5ce2HpXh

We owe it to America to call things what they are. To stop dancing around issues.

Call a racist, a racist.
Call a White Christian Nationalist, a White Christian Nationalist, call a rapist a rapist and a pedophile, a pedophile.

Fox Host and former Army officer Pete Hegseth, was accused of sexual assault.

Hegseth has publicly criticized diversity and inclusion programs referring to such initiatives as weakening U.S. defense capabilities.

He played a role in advocating for Trump's pardons of military personnel accused or convicted of war crimes.

He doesn't think women should be in the military or people of color.

This guy wants an angry militia made up of right-wing fanatics.

Who is surprised that he is declining to promote Black military men, Black women and white women?

He told us who he was.

🚨 Arkansas State Trooper Michael Austin Kennedy resigned after his wife filed 30+ screenshots of his white supremacist text messages in their divorce case including calling areas “N*GGERLAND” bragging about detained Hispanics as “trophies,” and pushing to repeal the 19th Amendment.

The messages to his wife Alana were packed with racial slurs against Black and Hispanic people, rants blaming “illegal immigrants” and Black people for traffic and crime, and extreme views like banning Muslims from America. One message read: “You don’t f*king hate them enough. The s*t that clogged up [their son’s] toilet is worth more to me than any of them.”

Kennedy also sent selfies posing with detained Hispanic individuals while on duty, calling them his “trophy.”

Alana amended her custody filing seeking sole custody. She stated his beliefs would “poison the minds of the children” and that the kids feared him because of his hate and irrational thoughts.

Kennedy resigned from the Arkansas State Police on May 15 shortly after the messages surfaced. In court papers he acknowledged the language but claimed it was “outdated” and didn’t reflect his values today after therapy and church guidance. Arkansas State Police reviewed his traffic stops and citations and said there was no indication his views affected his job performance.

A man sworn to protect and serve all citizens was privately holding this level of hatred.

What screening or accountability should law enforcement agencies have so white supremacist views like these don’t stay hidden until they surface in divorce court?

🚨 White Man tries to kidnap Black woman by pretending to be a cop — she gets rescued by truck driver.

In Aiken County, South Carolina, a young woman who had just graduated ran into traffic on a rural road, begging for help. She had escaped a white Cadillac after 39-year-old Jonathan Willard posed as a police officer, handcuffed her, took her phone and diploma, and tried to run her over when she fled.

Truck driver Anthony Moore stopped his rig. The woman jumped in as Willard approached claiming to be law enforcement. Another driver called 911 and helped remove the handcuffs.

Willard took off but was quickly arrested and charged with impersonating a law enforcement officer and kidnapping.

What would you do if you saw someone running into traffic screaming they were being kidnapped?

ICE illegally patrol polling place on election day—with 2 vehicles full of masked agents.

"One of them was outside of their vehicle for at least 30 minutes," said witness.

"You cannot intimidate voters!"

It’s not legal for federal government to have armed officials at voting locations.

Someone inside the vote center called the local park rangers who said they would "deal with it."

The Simi Valley Police Department stated that they were not notified that ICE would be present in the city on Election Day.

Incident occurred at the Rancho Simi Recreation and Park District Activity Center in Ventura County, California.

🚨BREAKING: In Columbus, Ohio, ICE agents hit a U.S. citizen’s vehicle, and then admitted, on camera, that they “do this all the time”… before driving away.

A 17-year-old U.S. citizen was reportedly on his way to church, when multiple officials surrounded his car, backed into his front bumper, and jumped out of their vehicles.

When he rolled down his window, they told him…

“We got the wrong person.”

And walked back toward their cars.

The 17-year-old got out to document what happened, and told an officer they had hit his vehicle…

And the response was:

“You can take a picture if you want. We do this all the time. You’re okay.”

And then they drove off.

The Fourth Amendment protects you from unreasonable searches and seizures. And courts have made clear that a “seizure” isn’t just being arrested, or put in handcuffs.

It also includes situations where law enforcement use their authority in a way that blocks your freedom to leave… or creates an intimidating, forced encounter.

So, when officers surround a car, hit it while backing up, and pull a teenager into a sudden law enforcement interaction, with no valid reason…

At minimum, it’s a reckless stop. At worst, it’s an unlawful seizure, with property damage, and no accountability.

And then there’s the part when she casually said…

“We do this all the time.”

Because that turns an “oops” moment into a pattern.

And when that pattern violates your constitutional rights and due process, it starts to feel a lot like the government is using the Constitution like they use the Bible…

Quoted when it’s useful, ignored when it isn’t.

People have literally died because of Trump’s pardons.

Madness.

[Blue Georgia @BlueGeorgia]

The Georgia GOP is corrupt to the core.

An independent investigation found that Derek Dooley — the clown running to unseat Jon Ossoff — had family members receive millions in taxpayer-funded state business, then donated $100K+ to Brian Kemp's PAC, which boosted Dooley's Senate campaign.

State Rep. Anne Allen Westbrook: "This raises unmistakable indications of corruption and urgent concerns of pay-to-play politics, and Dooley and Kemp have no shame in any of this."

@WUTangKids Remember he was on the trump bus .. how does he look his wife and daughters in the eyes!

[Rep. Jim McGovern @RepMcGovern]

Trump’s own government gave him, his kids, and his companies lifetime immunity from IRS audits and tax prosecution. It’s effectively a blanket pardon for cheating on their taxes. They line their own pockets with taxpayer money and get out of jail free.

This is the kind of large-scale fraud & corruption you’d expect in Russia or North Korea. Trump brought it to America.

Connecticut passed a simple law: If you're under investigation for child abuse or neglect, you can't homeschool your kids.

Every Republican voted against it.

Scott Pelley tells NYT that new '60 Minutes' EP Nick Bilton's email firing him "betrays a complete misunderstanding of what we work for and what we live for at '60 Minutes.'"

Earlier, Pelley assailed the new management of CBS News: "The collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of '60 Minutes' is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone." https://t.co/giqKlTjQ6t

@kylegriffin1 Very very scary that CBS is blatantly trying to influence news stories with lies and unverified details. Scott Pelley is the role model every actual journalist should strive to be.
