1. Paramount's hostile takeover bid for Warner Bros. Discovery exposes Jared Kushner's game

Kushner is not running a private equity fund. He's running an influence peddling operation.

It's spelled out on page 42 of Paramount's new SEC filing
Kushner and Saudis back hostile takeover of Hollywood giant
Jared Kushner is funneling $24 billion from Middle Eastern governments to back a hostile bid for Warner Bros. Discovery—all while advising President Trump on foreign policy.

After 20 years in the Navy, Buzz Grambo thought he'd spend his retirement playing video games and watching baseball. Instead, he patrols the streets of Baltimore to protect his neighbors from ICE. He even upgraded his scooter to a Segway that reaches 26 mph to keep up with the agents. My latest:

The Trump admin just can’t quit Paul Ingrassia of “Nazi streak” fame. The far-right extremist was appointed to yet another role, at the GSA: jewishinsider.com/2025/11/paul...

U.S. Special Counsel nominee Paul Ingrassia says he has a “Nazi streak” and has promoted antisemitic & white nationalist extremism like the “Great Replacement.” This hate should have no place in our federal government.

People aren’t outraged because of the “establishment.” We’re outraged because Platner had a Nazi tattoo.

Take clear responsibility and acknowledge the harm without all these caveats. But this isn’t it.
Years ago I got a skull and crossbones tattoo with my buddies in the Marines.

I was appalled to learn it closely resembled a Nazi symbol. I altered it yesterday, into something that isn't deeply offensive to my core beliefs.

My new NYT essay is about the essence of Trumpism: Bailing out farmers who can’t sell soybeans to China because of his tariffs, while bailing out Argentina so it can sell more soybeans to China. It’s the economic equivalent of pardoning pals and prosecuting enemies.

This is not happening in a vacuum. Increasingly normalized antisemitic hate leads to real world violence - Tree of Life, the Capital Jewish Museum, Boulder, and sadly so much more. And it threatens not only Jews but all communities and the fabric of our society.
