Since @jaredkushner is now, by his own admission, willing to “put the facts and supporting information out publicly” in those (implicitly infrequent) instances “when the truth matters,” I have put together a list of questions for Jared’s consideration, concerning, among other things, his relationships with Russia, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Israel, Iran, Tom Barrack, David Pecker, Peter Thiel, and Jeffrey Epstein, as well as the epic and tragic failure of his pandemic response.
Here are some #QuestionsForJared:

CENTCOM doesn't do it's own thing. Enough excuses & scapegoats.
Trump is the commander in chief, demented or not.
Vance is his right hand when Natalie is painting the left.
Hegseth relays the orders thru unsecured channels.
Rubio stares at Cuba.
If anything, this military has been too compliant.
This is CENTCOM inviting Iran to escalate while the Vice President is attempting to negotiate with the Iranians. This is, as CENTCOM calls it, “policy by CONOP,” when the military finds a way to subvert the White House without blatantly disobeying the President, by taking actions that will ensure a war escalates or perpetuates.
This tactic was implemented over & over again in the War on Terror in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, etc. Many Americans died, needlessly.
The Iranians have made it clear that they won’t accept negotiations while under threat of escalation. Iranian leadership has stated there will either be war or there will be peace, but they will not sit idly by and wait for the next attack & they won’t tolerate being slowly strangled by sanctions.
Imposing more sanctions, & publicly broadcasting that we’re imposing more sanctions, is brash provocation.
The midterm results sent a message that the President should find impossible to ignore: the American people do not support this war. We want out. The VP is currently in negotiations to end it, & a new Chief of Staff was chosen under the auspices of helping the President do just that.
CENTCOM announcing this escalation is the military working directly against what President Trump is attempting to accomplish. If the President had any desire to escalate, he’d simply do it. Instead, thankfully it appears he is attempting more diplomacy, and CENTCOM must support that.
It’s become abundantly clear that the President needs to install a new national security team, one that’s not tied to starting the war and that can instead end it. To do that, he needs people who can & will get the national security state under control, not submit to it.

Report from Qantara, where Israeli forces are continuing demolitions of civilian homes and infrastructure.
On Wednesday a man documenting the destruction was murdered by an Israeli drone strike.

A good place to start with the questioning of Jared Kushner. There’s a lot more, of more recent vintage, but @gregolear kicks it off very well.

Our old friend @caslernoel was our guest on @the_five8 season finale, and he did not disappoint.

Trump is still going to be president for two more years. And he could fuck up a lot of shit in two years—and he will, unless he is held to account and removed.
Full ramble is here:

Impeach Hegseth. Then prosecute him. Mrs Hegseth too.

Russian Warship, go fuck yourself.

We don’t want “revenge.”
We want OVERSIGHT.
Checks and balances. That is the job of both the House & Senate.
Oversight. Oversight. Oversight.
Oversight is not “revenge.”
DON’T LET JEFFRIES & SCHUMER GET AWAY WITH THIS HAT TRICK.
Examples:
1) What happened to our military bases in the Middle East, and has Hegseth been lying/covering up the deaths of our troops?
2) Who’s been making a fortune from inside the administration off insider trading and polymarket gambling on our national security?
3) where have US Citizens and legal residents been disappeared to by ICE, and who profited off it?
4) Jared.
5) Elon.
OVERSIGHT
Is this little speech about affordability what he and Jared Kushner were talking about when they met secretly to talk about affordability?
@hakeemjeffries it’s not about getting even. Please stop phrasing it that way. This isn’t a sporting match. We want justice & we want an end to the corruption. That’s what America voted for. And when we have that, we will also have affordability. You have to do the hard part 1st.

“ACT” - Accountability, Consequences, & Truth assignment: Start with Hegseth and Kushner.
We must know what they’ve done & see what they’ve been hiding. All of it.
“SAVE” - Sanctify, Advance, Vindicate, Eternalize assignment: Start with all women’s rights to our bodies and abolishing ICE. Put necessary human rights into law, assholes. We are in triage mode first. People are dying and being disappeared. Make that stop IMMEDIATELY. Then go get us universal health care and dismantle Citizen’s United. Make it eternal.
Oh, and break up the broligarchy. Smash them to pieces, then sweep up all the coin.
