Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump moved their kids to a new school

Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump moved their kids to a new school after parents complained about the couple not following coronavirus protocols, report says.

Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump pulled their children out of the Milton Gottesman Jewish Day School and moved them to Melvin J. Berman Hebrew Academy, according to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
Three Milton parents told the outlet that some parents had complained that Kushner and Trump weren't following the school's COVID-19 protocols, which asked families to avoid large gatherings and to follow social-distancing guidelines.
A longtime Milton parent with knowledge of the matter told Business Insider that the school tried to compromise with Kushner and Trump to give them certain allowances but that the talks didn't work out and the couple chose to leave.
A source close to the Kushner family told JTA that the family moved the kids to Berman because it offered more in-person schooling, not because of the COVID-19 rules.
A White House spokeswoman slammed the JTA report in a statement to Business Insider, calling the outlet's sources "idle gossips seeking press attention."

Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, President Donald Trump's son-in-law and daughter, pulled their children out of their day school after other parents complained that the couple were not following coronavirus protocols, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency reported on Wednesday, citing multiple sources.

The outlet reported that the children were pulled out of the Milton Gottesman Jewish Day School in Washington, DC, two weeks before Election Day and moved to Melvin J. Berman Hebrew Academy in Maryland.

The children started attending Milton when the family moved to Washington shortly after the 2016 presidential election.

A representative for Milton told JTA that the children "withdrew from the school."

A longtime Milton parent with knowledge of the matter also confirmed to Business Insider that the children transferred schools, adding that there were some parents who were sad to see the family go.

Three Milton parents told JTA that the couple withdrew their children after other parents complained that Kushner and Trump weren't following the coronavirus protocols that the school had laid out for families.

Inciting insurrection?

I can't find much about this online. It seems to me, with trump continuing his antics with his post-election rallies, that he is inciting insurrection to the lawfully elected government. It definitely suggests there will be violence.

Does anyone have any facts on the situation, or informed opinions?

I did find these in CHAPTER 115—TREASON, SEDITION, AND SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITIES

Any updates on Senate races?

What's left? Any chance of getting more seats?

If we don't get the senate, McConnell will do the same crap he did with Obama.
