Kushner Sees a Problem in Trump’s Fund-Raising, but Not Everyone Agrees  The New York Times

WASHINGTON — His plan for ending a 35-day government shutdown failed to deliver a compromise. His immigration proposal was greeted by congressional Democrats and Republicans alike as dead on arrival. And what promised to be the “deal of the century” — the Middle East peace plan he has been pursuing in secret for more than two years — is in trouble even before it has been officially announced, seen more as a way of supporting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel than of getting Palestinians to the bargaining table.

Type 1 diabetes is thought to be triggered by the immune system attacking the insulin-producing cells. It is treated with insulin jabs. Type 2 is more common, and is associated with obesity. While it can be controlled through lifestyle changes and tablets s…
