It is unclear how Jared Kushner’s high-profile woes will affect his hard-won partnership with his father-in-law, perhaps the most stable in an often unstable White House.

👓 Why Do Coptic Christians Keep Getting Attacked? | The Atlantic

📺 PBS NewsHour full episode May 26, 2017
Friday on the NewsHour, gunmen in Egypt attack a Christian group, killing at least 28. Also: An exclusive interview with Aya Hijazi, what President Trump accomplished on a trip abroad, Shields and Brooks analyze the week's news, a humorous take on getting out of your bubble, being a veteran of a war that never ends and more.
I liked the W. Kamau Bell interview. They’re doing some great marketing for him, his show, and his new book. I’m putting his show (and back episodes from season 1) into my queue.
The snippet on Mr. Rogers at the end was very moving and useful. I kind of wish there were rerun episodes of his show still on television.
