Those people told the Times that Kushner wants to end his professional relationship with Trump and instead just be his son-in-law.(Snip) Previously Kushner was viewed as the most politically involved family member with his role in the administration and campaign, but the former president's eldest son Donald Trump Jr.

Former President Obama is claiming right-wing media outlets of profiting by stoking “fear and resentment” among white people toward a “changing America”—pointing to national pushback on critical race theory as an example. The 44th commander-in-chief told Anderson Cooper in a CNN special Monday that many race problems are a reflection of the US not having “fully reconciled with our history.” He said it was “hard for the majority” of white Americans “to recognize you can be proud of this country and its traditions and its history and our forefathers and yet, it is also true that this terrible stuff happened.” “The vestiges of that linger
Ow, la la! French President Emmanuel Macron was caught on video being slapped across the face Tuesday during a tour to “take the country’s pulse” amid the coronavirus pandemic. “À bas la Macronie!” a man could be heard shouting—“Down with Macronia!”—at the 43-year-old leader in the village of Tain-l’Hermitage in the Drome region. The man also could be heard shouting “Montjoie Saint Denis!”—the battle cry of the French army when the country was still a monarchy. He then delivered the sharp slap on Macron’s left cheek. The president’s bodyguards quickly intervened and two people were arrested, BFM TV and RMC radio reported.
Capitol Police and intelligence agencies including the FBI knew Trump supporters were threatening to storm the Capitol and wanted to target Democrat lawmakers weeks before January 6, but didn't act, a bipartisan Senate Report has revealed. Law enforcement was aware of a plot to breach the Capitol, that maps of the building's tunnel system had been shared online, and that supporters were planning to bring guns to D.C., but failed to act or share information with uniformed cops. One comment seen on a pro-Trump website by intelligence agencies before January 6 read 'this is do or die. Bring your guns'. 'If they [cops] don't show up,

Burger King’s new chicken sandwich is like Chick-fil-A’s… only gayer. The newest entrant in the fast-food chicken wars is having political activism its way, pledging to support America’s biggest LGBT-rights group with its Ch’King sandwich. “6/3-6/30 with every Ch’King sold, BK will contribute 40₵ to the Human Rights Campaign (Max. donation $250k),” Burger King’s official Twitter account tweeted. “The #ChKing says LGBTQ+ rights!” the chain bragged with rainbow-flag emojis.(Snip) “During #pride month (even on Sundays) your chicken sandwich craving can do good!” Burger King wrote. Chick-fil-A is famously closed on Sundays,
The White House said Monday that Vice President Kamala D. Harris didn’t bake the cookies in her likeness that she handed out to reporters on Air Force Two during her flight to Guatemala. “Cookies that were provided to passengers on Air Force Two on Sunday were a gift from a member of the staff,” a White House official told reporters on condition of anonymity. “The vice president wanted to make sure the cookies were shared with everyone.” The frosted cookies, decorated with a likeness of Ms. Harris, complete with her hair style and a strand of pearls, were handed out to journalists traveling with the vice president
Police detectives have arrested three teens who are believed to be part of the South Miami-Dade gang feud that led to a mass shooting at a graduation party in Kendall. The three teens, Yahtayvius McCutcheon, 17, Quantayvius McCutcheon, 19, and Keyshad Richardson, 19, are not charged with the drive-by shooting outside a hookah bar early Sunday that killed a state corrections officer. Instead, they are being charged with a shooting that happened minutes later, on Florida’s Turnpike, targeting people who had just been at the graduation party.(Snip) Back at the hookah bar, gunmen in at least one other car opened fire on the gathering
Dr. Anthony Fauci avoided questions on his emails and growing demands for him to be fired as he joined Jill Biden for an interview on Live! with Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest on Monday morning. The pair were instead asked when they have diners with their families and discussed Jill's recent birthday trip to Delaware, a day after protesters greeted them at a vaccine center in Harlem and called for the embattled White House medical adviser to be axed.(Snip) At another point, host Ripa noted that she and Dr. Biden were from neighboring towns in Jersey, calling Biden's hometown of Hammonton the 'blueberry capital of the world.'
Kamala Harris finally revealed Monday that she does not plan to visit the southern border because it would just be a 'grand gesture' as opposed to a genuine trip as she warned illegal migrants they are not welcome in the U.S.
During a press conference in Guatemala, more than 2,000 miles away from the Rio Grande, she vowed to take on corruption and insisted climate change was one of the driving forces behind people fleeing their homes and heading North.(Snip) As Harris commenced her two-day trip south of the border, migrant families continue to stream over into the U.S. either by foot or on inflatable rafts.
“Carlos Danger” needs some cash—and he’s only got one thing to sell.
Anthony Weiner is considering a new career in “political collectibles”—starting with the infamous crotch shot that cost him his seat in Congress.
The several-times disgraced ex-pol said that he’s stepping down as CEO of a Brooklyn countertop company—a job first revealed by The Post—and may instead start selling nonfungible tokens, or NFTs, of various lowlights from his serial-sexting addiction. Weiner told the New York Times that the digital offerings could include the lewd photo he accidentally tweeted in 2011, a copy of the search warrant for the laptop seized by the FBI
Ellie Kemper has issued an apology after photos surfaced showing the actress being crowned the queen of a ball with ties to white supremacy when she was a teen. The “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” star, now 41, said she didn’t know the history of St. Louis’ Veiled Prophet Ball when she decided to participate, but isn’t making excuses for her past involvement. “Hi guys–when I was 19 years old, I decided to participate in a debutante ball in my hometown. The century-old organization that hosted the debutante ball had an unquestionably racist, sexist, and elitist past,” she began her lengthy Instagram post.
Hunter Biden and a former FBI director were hired by a Romanian tycoon later convicted of bribery—and represented him in meetings with top U.S. officials—emails from Hunter's laptop show. Romanian real estate tycoon Gabriel Popoviciu was convicted in his home country in 2016 of bribing a university official to buy a 550-acre plot of government-owned land for a drastically reduced price. Popoviciu hired Hunter earlier that year as part of an influence campaign to persuade anti-corruption prosecutors to cut a deal or drop the case.(Snip) The arrangement raises more questions about Hunter's dodgy business deals that threatened to compromised his father—the vice president.
A father-of-three out jogging on Saturday morning in Atlanta's wealthiest neighborhood, Buckhead, was shot twice by a 'mentally ill' man who police say also opened fire on two other people and mowed down a neighbor with his car. Atlanta police arrested and charged 22-year-old Gaelen Newsom with attempted murder, three counts of aggravated assault and two counts of possession of a firearm during a crime in connection with the weekend crime spree. The first shooting took place in the 1200 block of West Wesley Road in Buckhead, Atlanta's richest section, which has been making a push to form its own police force

Liz Cheney claimed Trump did 'the most dangerous thing' a president has ever done by 'inciting' the January 6 Capitol attack as she revealed many GOP lawmakers didn't vote for impeachment because they feared for their safety. 'I think what Donald Trump did is the most dangerous thing, the most egregious violation of an oath of office of any president in our history,' Cheney told David Axelrod on an episode of his The Axe Files podcast, which was recorded Saturday but released Monday.'I have had a number of members say to me, 'we would have voted to impeach, but we were concerned about our security,''
Kamala Harris is under some kind of pressure.
It's hard to say what, given the working thesis (first seen in a tweet by Newt Gingrich) that Joe Biden appointed her to the position of border czar because he knew she would do nothing.
But it's pretty obvious there were signs of strain in her face as she met with the president of Guatemala on Monday and then held a dual press conference. She looked like hell.
Here are some camera shots from the NBC News report on the television set: [Snip for pictures] She actually looks pretty lost, uncertain, way out of her comfort zone. Not ready for prime time.
Barack Obama is back in the public eye, having recently sat down with CNN to rattle off his list of grievances against the Republican Party. In his typical smarmy fashion, he managed to pretend that the GOP is trying to “rig the game” of elections by having (gasp!) general standards at the state level. You see, if you can’t vote three months in advance by handing your ballot to a harvester, do you really have the right to vote?Obama also weighed in on the cultural battle surrounding the teaching of Critical Race Theory in schools. Here was his response.(Tweet)
Former President Donald Trump revealed Monday he would consider ditching Mike Pence for Florida’s tough Gov. Ron DeSantis as his 2024 presidential election running mate.“Sure I would … I would certainly consider Ron,” Trump, 74, told Fox Business‘ Stuart Varney in a phone interview Monday.“I was at the beginning of Ron,” he said of the 42-year-old former Navy officer who graduated both Yale and Harvard Law School. “I was the first one to endorse him when he came out as a congressman that a lot of people didn’t know, and my endorsement helped him tremendously,” Trump said.
THORNTON, Colo. — A carousel horse at a park has been removed after the city was made aware of it's insensitive imagery. Over the weekend, M.J. Jimenez was riding the park's carousel with her 8-year-old niece. That's when she noticed the horse in front of her.

A family of six came under fire along a stretch of Missouri highway last week while on their way to vacation, and a 22-year-old mother is accused of pulling the trigger.

Twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton weighed in on Republican state legislatures pursuing basic election integrity measures in their respective states, contending that it “shouldn’t be a partisan issue” to reject such efforts.
In a Monday social media post, Clinton likened the left’s radical attempt to overhaul U.S. election — stripping states of basic election safeguards such as voter ID — to “preserving America’s democracy.”
“Preserving America’s democracy shouldn’t be a partisan issue. But the fact is that Republican-led legislatures have enacted at least 22 news laws this year restricting access to voting,” she claimed alongside a map from the Brennan Center for Justice.
Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA), chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Sunday on MSNBC’s “Alex Witt Reports” called the Republican Party “anti-democratic.”
Witt said, “Here is something that investigative reporters have gotten ahold of from The New York Times. They report that in Donald Trump’s final weeks in office, his chief of staff, Mark Meadows, repeatedly pushed the Justice Department to investigate unfounded conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election. This is according to newly-uncovered emails provided to Congress. What new layer does this add to the effort to undermine the election results? How serious is this direct link to the Oval Office and Donald Trump?”
Schiff said, “It’s very serious.
