Kushner looks shook. It would be funny if it what they’re doing in Gaza wasn’t so deeply appalling. P.s., I have yet to *ever* hear Jared Kushner’s voice. P.p.s., let us remember Kushner’s father is a close personal friend of Netanyahu.

Declassifying an undercover CIA officer in Russia isn’t just a slip- it’s a crime that puts lives at risk and cripples U.S. intelligence ops. This kind of recklessness makes America weaker. #CIA #NationalSecurity #Accountability militarnyi.com/en/news/us-i...
