House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries met privately with President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner in recent weeks, prompting criticism from some Democrats ahead of approaching midterm elections, according to reports.
Although Kushner, who served as a senior West Wing adviser during Trump’s first term, does not have a formal role in the current Administration, he has remained involved in Trump’s diplomatic efforts in the Middle East and Russia.
During the meeting, the pair were said to have discussed housing, immigration, and the high cost of living as potential areas of common ground.
The report comes less than three months before the November midterms, when Democrats are favored to retake control of the House from Republicans, who currently hold both chambers of Congress. A Democratic victory would put Jeffries in line to become speaker and give the party greater oversight powers to investigate the Trump Administration...

Senior Israeli military officials are sounding the alarm that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is preparing to escalate ongoing wars to have a pretext for postponing the upcoming Knesset election.
The Israeli outlet Maariv reports speaking with senior officials familiar with an IDF assessment that Netanyahu will attempt to escalate an ongoing conflict or ignite a new one. The Prime Minister hopes that putting Israel on a more active military footing will create a political opening to delay elections scheduled for October 27.
Maariv speculates that the military operation will intensify the ongoing genocide in Gaza. In an interview with Mario Nawfal on Friday, US Ambassador to Turkey Tom Barrack said Israel was attempting to “bait” Turkey into an escalation by attacking a military base in Idlib, Syria.
Senior Israeli military officials told Maariv that the IDF would not allow Netanyahu to start a new war before the upcoming election.
Since the US brokered a ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel last October, Tel Aviv has continued its onslaught in Gaza at a reduced pace. Over 1,000 Palestinians have been killed in the past ten months, and the IDF has expanded its control over the Strip.
Netanyahu has used Israel’s military conflicts in Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, the West Bank, and Gaza to delay his corruption trial.

Erdoğan welcomed the continued development of relations between Türkiye and Brazil, saying ties that were elevated to an advanced level two decades ago have continued to strengthen.
The Turkish president said deepening cooperation in a broad range of areas, particularly investment, trade and the defense industry, would benefit both countries, according to the statement.
Erdoğan also emphasized the potential for stronger economic ties between Ankara and Brasilia amid growing protectionist tendencies in the global economy...

Israeli occupation aircraft carried out a series of airstrikes west and northwest of Gaza City, targeting civilian areas and vital infrastructure in the besieged Gaza Strip, Al Mayadeen’s correspondent in Gaza reports.
The strikes targeted a desalination plant near Sheikh Radwan Market in northwest Gaza City, damaging infrastructure essential to the provision of water to Palestinians.
Israeli attacks also destroyed the Asqalan prayer hall in the northern al-Shati refugee camp, with Palestinians wounded after the prayer hall and a nearby home were struck.
In Block 7 of the al-Bureij refugee camp, one Palestinian was killed and others were wounded when Israeli forces bombed a home belonging to the al-War family.
Israeli forces also shot and wounded a woman and another Palestinian in the al-Shuja'iyya and al-Zaytoun neighborhoods east of Gaza City.
In Khan Younis in southern Gaza, a Palestinian woman was killed and others were wounded in an Israeli attack in the western al-Satar area.

Oct 7th is the foundation upon which Greater Israel is being built and unfortunately the pro-Palestine movement is doing nothing at all to shatter it.
Even Norman Finkelstein has fallen for the manufactured atrocity story comparing the events of Oct. 7th to a slave rebellion here in the U.S. which saw dozens of non-slave owning white people slaughtered and raped by angry slaves on a rampage.
Palestinian resistance did not initially target civilian soft targets like the slaves of old did. They went after IDF guard towers and checkpoints and barracks. In the resulting confusion they ended up in kibbutzes and at the rave but that was not the initial plan.
Therefore Norman's comparison is a false one. The Palestinians were not enraged slaves running on blood lust looking to rape and kill anyone they found with white skin. To make that comparison belittles both causes, those of the Palestinians and the slaves of the New World.
By refusing to address the forbidden truth of Oct.7th even the most adamant pro-Palestinian voices are enabling the Greater Israel project starting with the Zionists' 100 year old plan to wipe Palestine off the map once and for all.
How can you seriously address the true horror of Sept. 11th 2001 if the furthest you will go is the 'blowback' theory?
How can you understand the coup of 63' if you can't get past the magic bullet?
And what do you actually know about Covid-19 if the deepest you dig is blaming China? You haven't even scratched the surface much less exposed the culprits and their motives. You might as well be blaming a pangolin eating bat soup for all the good blaming China does.
Half measures avail us nothing. And the masters of the universe understand that very clearly.
Oct. 7th is the foundation upon which Greater Israel is being built and that was the plan all along, long before Oct. 7th 2023.
All they had to do was listen to the Watch Tower Girls, send 6 tanks to the location where they reported the buildup of Palestinian forces along the fence that week and fly a couple Apache attack helicopters overhead that morning and nothing would have happened.
Or for that matter, the IDF could easily have launched a wave of attacks against the Palestinian forces as they gathered on the Gaza side of the fence... like they often did anyway.
But they did nothing. In fact, they did worse than nothing.
'Israel’s army on Tuesday admitted that an “immense and complex quantity” of what it calls “friendly fire” incidents took place on 7 October.
The key declaration was buried in the penultimate paragraph of an article by Yoav Zitun, the military correspondent of Israeli outlet Ynet.
It is the first known official army admission that a significant number of the hundreds of Israelis who died on 7 October were killed by Israel itself, and not by Hamas or other Palestinian resistance factions.' Electronic Intifada May 20 2024

A four-year-old child was among three Palestinians killed in Israeli air attacks in central Gaza on Sunday, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatened to escalate attacks over the alleged launching of paper kites from the war-torn enclave.
On Sunday, Israel fired missiles at a warehouse in az-Zawayda, reducing it to rubble, and then carried out strikes near Salah al-Din Street, killing four-year-old Muhammad Abdel Salam Taha.
Israeli drone attacks also targeted southern Khan Younis and a tent sheltering displaced people at the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir el-Balah, resulting in more casualties.
Standing amid the destruction in az-Zawayda, witness Abu Ahmed expressed widespread despair over the relentless violence. “There is no ceasefire; there is nothing. We want solutions; we want to live in peace,” he said...

Class inequality has surged into the view of American politics in recent years, but this isn’t the first bout of class violence this country has seen. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when 12-hour working days were common and child labor legal and federal minimum wages nonexistent, neither political party offered meaningful relief, pressing the working class to the wall. Violence — sabotage, dynamite, assassinations — ensued.
But there’s a key difference. In that earlier era, the anarchists and trade unionists who committed acts of violence did so, however rashly, in the hopes of affecting change. What is more, there were labor organizations and political movements committed to bringing about better conditions for working-class people. In time, they achieved at least some of these goals.
Today’s class violence lacks logic; it seems only animated by revenge, resentment and despair. There is no conspiracy or political mobilization. The people committing these acts are acting alone. The very fact of their isolation hints at a society that is beginning to abandon the hope of transformation.
While the extreme concentration of wealth today may echo the dawn of industrial capitalism, the conditions of class confrontation then were profoundly different. Then, the workplace itself was extremely dangerous: Thousands of workers died in industrial accidents annually in the early decades of the 20th century. The police and National Guardsmen came in to break strikes, while companies hired private militias to prevent workers from organizing.
Radical workers responded with violence of their own, instilling great fear among the elites of the day. In the coal fields of Western Pennsylvania, Irish miners killed at least 14 mine officials over the course of the 1860s and 1870s. When the Western Federation of Miners sought to organize in 1899, union supporters used dynamite to destroy company property. The governor of Idaho, Frank Steunenberg, imprisoned about a thousand workers in response. In 1905, after leaving office, a bomb killed him at his home. Union leader William Haywood was among those charged (a member of the miners’ union had confessed to the crime and implicated union leadership; a jury found Haywood not guilty). President William McKinley was assassinated in 1901 by an anarchist who had lost his job during an economic crash. Two union members dynamited the offices of The Los Angeles Times, widely seen as hostile to organized labor, in 1910...

Correspondent Lara Korte, editor-in-chief Erik Slavin, and publisher Max Lederer were all fired from their posts at Stars and Stripes on Friday, the latest attack on press freedom by President Donald Trump and members of his administration—this time targeting the paper that provides daily news to US servicemembers spread across the globe.
“I consider it a great privilege to live alongside members of the military and share their stories,” said Korte in a social media post following her ouster. “It’s a shame for the institution and service members, who swore to defend the Constitution and deserve the right to a free and independent press.”...
