Dems are determined to lose Maine. Harris was popular -- until Dem consultants got involved and muzzled Walz and bent the campaign to a middle nobody wanted. And now they're doing it to Jackson. www.dropsitenews.com/p/democratic...

People trashing the meeting because Kushner isn't part of the Executive branch -- you're absolutely correct, *but*... He's also a direct line to Trump. IF Jeffries was actually talking about affordability it could be a legitimate tactic. But he's proven he has no interest in helping working people.

It's *Politico*. Of course they're undermining AOC. AOC "still has significant differences with the broader MAHA movement — including its vaccine skepticism — but she sees areas of overlap on things like pesticides, corporate power and access to safe food" This is the right thing to do.

The Trump regime got the Pentagon to lower the official Iran War death toll from 18 to 14, excluding four US soldiers killed. They claim they were removed because "Trump declared an April ceasefire" so their deaths don't count. The US and Iran bombed each other throughout the "ceasefire."
