Ok y'all. I am not kidding when I tell you that I have almost, but not quite, created a pin board with red string trying to track down all the malevolence that is Jared #Kushner and family. I was putting on my information architect hat to try and define data. It's crazy how much there is.

And then last night, #MorePerfectUnion dropped this video, which is...*chef's kiss* All the good stuff, like how #Netanyahu and Kushner are so close that Bibi used to stay at his family's house.

How he got billions of dollars from MBS to start his "asset management" firm.

How he and Witkoff lied to get us into war with #Iran so they can profit on their "pipeline across Saudi to Gaza" plan to turn Gaza into Dubai without those pesky #Palestinians.

Jared Kushner sure seems to be a foreign agent for #Israel.

How Trump’s Son in Law Became a Foreign Agent

According to Trump, Iran has no air defenses.

I guess they brought down that F-15e with their spiritual defense grid.

He and Whiskey Pete make quite the echo chamber of bullshit when they're not off firing competent generals.

Every statement they make is a lie waiting for an audience.

Together, the ideas sum to a fiscal blueprint that could add trillions of dollars to the brimming federal #debt over the next decade, if lawmakers translate Trump’s full vision into #law without other changes to federal #spending.

#Trump urged #Congress to approve the new #defense money, >$1.1 trillion, as part of its work to fund the government, & to enact the remaining $350 billion using the same #legislative tactic that allowed #Republicans to clinch their tax cuts last year.

The admin said it would couple the proposed increase with a call for $73 billion in #cuts across #domestic agencies, including the elimination of some #climate, #housing & #education programs [like I said, crucial].

By Friday morning, the White House had released only a summary of its #budget request, which covers the period beginning Oct 1, with fuller details expected later.

With the #US at #war with #Iran & embroiled in conflicts around the world, the White House said on Friday that it would ask #Congress to approve about $1.5 trillion for #defense in the 2027 fiscal year. If enacted, that amount would set #military #spending at its highest level in history.

The request, which arrived on Friday as part of Trump’s new #budget, would amount to a whopping 40% bump from what the US spent on the #Pentagon this fiscal year.

White House Seeks $1.5 Trillion for #Defense in New #Budget Request

The huge proposed increase would be partly offset by steep #cuts to #DomesticPrograms, some of which the #Trump admin describes as wasteful [which means they’re likely crucial social welfare programs].
