We all know Witkoff & Kushner’s goal in Russia was to use US policy to make business deals to benefit themselves and their families, which is what they have done full-time since Jan 2025. They have no interest in what’s best for Ukraine or what’s just. Their greed is insatiable.

After Trump gutted the IRS workforce — including the unit tasked with auditing billionaires — the agency's annual audit revenue plunged by 35%.
Trump's attacks on the IRS were never about "efficiency."
They were about making it easier for the wealthy and powerful to skirt what they owe.

“Distribution for the L.A. Regional Food Bank for 2026 is at 2025 levels, which for us is a little remarkable, because in the first half of 2025 we had the L.A. wildfires, which led to a huge increase in demand for food assistance,” said Michael Flood, the CEO of Los Angeles Regional Food Bank.
