Hi there,

Today is your last chance to donate during Public Media Giving Days, a time to celebrate what public and independent media gives to you by giving back. If you think Democracy Now!’s reporting is a critical line of defense against war, climate catastrophe and authoritarianism, please make your donation of $10 or more right now. In honor of Public Media Giving Days, a generous donor will TRIPLE your donation, which means it’ll go 3x as far to support our independent journalism. Democracy Now! is funded by you, and that’s why we’re counting on your donation to keep us going strong. Please give today. Every dollar makes a difference—in fact, gets tripled! Thank you so much.

Jared Kushner: “Government Should Be Run Like a Great American Company”

HeadlineMar 27, 2017

Back in the United States, The Washington Post is reporting President Trump plans to unveil a new White House office today, which will be run by his son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner. The Post reports the White House Office of American Innovation will be staffed by former business executives who will be given wide-reaching authority to overhaul federal bureaucracy and even privatize some of the government’s functions. On Sunday, Kushner told the Post, “The government should be run like a great American company. Our hope is that we can achieve successes and efficiencies for our customers, who are the citizens.”
