- There’s No Good Reason Why Hakeem Jeffries Should Work With Jared Kushner
Democrats and critics of the Trump administration have criticized House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries as reports came out Sunday that he met with President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner to discuss potential collaboration on issues such as housing, immigration, and affordability. As Casey Michel wrote for Mother Jones earlier this summer, Kushner has used his ties to the White House to make business deals with autocrats—including the Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar—and work on foreign affairs as a “special peace envoy” in conflicts in Iran, Gaza, and Ukraine. That’s despite claiming that he would not play a role in Trump’s second administration. The New York Times first reported that the meeting took place in recent weeks. Rep. Jeffries (D-N.Y.) did not acknowledge the meeting in a statement to the Times, but suggested that Democrats would have to work with Republicans to get any policies through the White House. With the midterms coming up in November, there is a significant possibility that Democrats take control of the House, and Jeffries would be first in line to become Speaker. But Democrats thinking of compromise now—especially when congressional Republicans, the Supreme Court, and the Trump administration have largely done the opposite—makes little sense. Below are a few reactions: The only meeting Hakeem Jeffries should be having with Jared Kushner is to tell him he’ll be subpoenaed by the House for a corruption investigation on day one of Democratic control of the House. This is just pathetic stuff from the House Dem leader. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/23/u…— Mehdi Hasan (@mehdirhasan.bsky.social) 2026-08-23T14:59:21.599Z NEW: Hakeem Jeffries met with Kushner recently to discuss how democrats could work with the administration when we take the house back. We shouldn’t work with fascists, and I’d appreciate a leader who felt the same. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/23/u…— Allison Gill (@muellershewrote.com) 2026-08-23T16:06:49.551Z The only good reason I can imagine for a Jeffries meeting with Kushner is to personally deliver a subpoena for his testimony https://t.co/1NnYtpm3Kv— Tim Miller (@Timodc) August 23, 2026 Jared Kushner has no actual government job he just uses his family connections to get money from gulf autocrats and fund corrupt deals. The only way @RepJeffries should work with him is with demands for documents and subpoenas. https://t.co/5dBHVHW0CT— Tommy Vietor (@TVietor08) August 23, 2026 WTF. Did you not get the memo, Jeffries? We want fighters, not conciliators. There is no working with… [TheTopNews] Read More.19 hours ago - Sen.

- Rallygoers Meet the Trans Athlete Culture Wars With CelebrationAs women’s sports continue to be used as a battleground over trans rights, hundreds of people attended a rally before a New York Liberty game Saturday to support transgender people in sports and everyday communities. Chants of “Get up, get down! We love trans people in this town!” were commonplace, as well as signs reading “trans people belong here,” “equality means inclusivity,” and “ban bigots not trans women.” The gathering came amid discussion across the basketball league—and largely right-wing, bad-faith actors—of restricting athletes who are transgender women from participating in women’s sports, even as no openly trans women play in the WNBA. At the rally outside Barclays Center hosted by Trans Safety Alliance NYC before the NY Liberty vs. Indiana Fever game tonight. About 100 folks are here as anti-trans attacks targets women's basketball—a league with no openly trans women players.— alex nguyen (@alexjn.bsky.social) 2026-08-22T21:45:49.099Z Much of the recent debate around trans inclusivity in the WNBA came in a July ESPN profile of Sophie Cunningham, who plays as a guard for the Indiana Fever, where she stated that she wants “to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn’t have to go against biological men.” These conversations are largely held in online right-wing circles: the Daily Wire, Turning Point USA, Ben Shapiro—the list goes on. But that rhetoric wasn’t the focus of Saturday’s rally. A non-binary lifelong New Yorker told me that the rally was “one of my first times joining a joyous trans action.” Rallygoers cheered as fans entering the arena passed by, with many applauding them back. Bubbles from a bubble blaster, groups giving out shirts and signs, and people chatting together for the first time were widespread. Given that most of the discussion around transgender athletes in women’s sports the attendee comes across is relegated to online posts, seeing the differing reactions from fellow rallygoers and fans passing by was interesting: “It’s so rare with the circumstances around trans rights that we get to see a real thing in real life in front of our eyes.” — alex nguyen (@alexjn.bsky.social) 2026-08-22T21:55:54.685Z The US government has largely supported anti-trans attacks in sports. As my colleague Madison Pauly reported, the Supreme Court upheld Idaho and West Virginia state laws that ban transgender girls from playing on girls’ school sports teams.
