Former prosecutor Chris Christie called Charles Kushner one of the most disgusting people he prosecuted during his seven years as U.S. Attorney.

Charles Kushner (Jared Kushner’s father) hired a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law (his sister’s husband), secretly recorded the encounter, and sent the tape to his sister in an attempt to intimidate her and her husband from cooperating with federal investigators in a case involving tax evasion, illegal campaign contributions, and witness tampering.

Christie said he found it crazy that Trump later pardoned Kushner and appointed him ambassador to France.

BREAKING: Democratic star Congressman Jamie Raskin brings down the hammer and demands that Donald Trump's Cabinet nominees undergo FBI vetting — a bare minimum that we should all support.

This has MAGA supporters fuming...

"While I understand the Trump-Vance Transition has reached an agreement with the Department of Justice that makes it possible for the FBI to conduct background checks, it remains unclear whether the Transition will require nominees to submit to them," Raskin wrote in a letter.

"Given this muddled record, I urge you to clearly and unequivocally commit to requiring that all nominees undergo FBI background checks and submit to vetting before receiving access to classified information," he added.

Raskin wrote the letter after the Trump team floated the patently absurd idea of using third party firms to do the background checks, a dangerous break from protocol.

Raskin wants "clear assurance" that the FBI will perform the background checks and raised concerns about some of the nominees refusing to engage in a "standard practice across administrations."

Raskin also raised concerns about reports that Trump aide Boris Epshteyn has been taking bribes as high as $100,000 from potential nominees to promote their case to Trump.

"This is precisely the type of permissive environment in which individuals with undisclosed and unvetted security vulnerabilities can engage in nefarious conduct that could risk American security," Raskin wrote.

America deserves answers immediately.

Please retweet and ❤️ to thank Jamie Raskin for putting his foot down against MAGA corruption — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

Social media is currently exploding with horror stories about dealing with private health care insurance companies. Medical bankruptcy. Unnecessary death. Endless emotional suffering. It's insane to keep things the way they are. #UnitedHealthcare #CEOAssassination

Built in 1920, this 9-unit Marblehead building on a 3,400sf lot has a density of 112 units per acre.

Monday’s town meeting will ask voters to support rezoning just 1% of its total land area to allow for 15 units per acre, in compliance with MBTA Communities.

I’ve been car-free in Philly for 30 years. Raised a child, saved enough money to pay her college tuition and take some nice vacations. Never looked back (except when crossing the street) https://t.co/05sQce2DhM

It starts with making them legal. Currently they’re illegal in almost every neighbourhood in almost every city in North America, Australia/NZ etc. Corner coffee shops, convenience stores etc. If we’re serious about walkable, “complete,” “15-minute neighbourhoods, this is obvious.

Buildings like this are illegal in most of America, which doesn't make sense b/c they give so much!

When we prohibit them, we deprive ourselves of affordability, vibrancy, sustainability, livability, & identity. We have to allow common sense to prevail in our built environment!

Apparently it makes "constant references" to its context. 🤔

To be fair, the "derelict" fire station is pretty dull. If buildings dress like that, they're asking to be sexually assaulted, by architects, or grasshoppers, or whatever; Amiright? 😂
