The top Democrat on the powerful House Oversight Committee has opened a probe into Jared Kushner and his private equity firm’s stake in Israeli military suppliers, raising concerns over “significant conflicts of interest”as Kushner serves as a top Middle East negotiator for the Trump administration.

🚨 IOWA SENATE SHOCKER: Josh Turek is within striking distance of flipping a seat Democrats haven’t won since 2008. Trump carried Iowa by 13 points in 2024. But anger over the economy & the Iran war has transformed the race. A Turek win would help Dems take back the Senate. Let’s finish this. #Vote

I’m so f*cking sick of the corruption in this administration. Trump’s ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, pressured a MAGA donor to pay off $100,000 in credit card debt while offering access to Trump officials. And she wanted it done without a paper trail. #CostOfTrumpsCorruption

RIP to a great actress and wonderful human, Eva Marie Saint. In 1996, I was fortunate to meet her, her husband, Bill Moyers, and Jonathan Kozol when they were promoting a documentary about public education inequalities based upon Kozol's book "Savage Inequalities."

De ‘Gouden Rinck' in Antwerp, which was the residence of Nicholas Rockox, Mayor of Antwerp (1540-1640). He was a massive art collector and owned 82 paintings (Van Dyck, Breughel, Rubens..), 203 books and over 1000 ancient Roman and Greek coins. Quite the collection!

Barack Obama is back in his role as Democrats’ closer-in-chief. He just cut ads for 24 Senate & gubernatorial campaigns—targeting races where he can help move persuadable voters. At 57% favorability, Obama is the most popular living president. Expect to see much more of him before Election Day. 💙
