1/ If accurate, this is almost certainly a conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of the military for domestic law enforcement, including the National Guard if they are federalized.

Norman’s brother.

Just minutes ago Trump and Republicans advanced a budget that absolutely GUTS healthcare and then gives crazy tax breaks to the wealthiest people in the country. Seriously… in the dead of night. How does this bill Make Life Better for working Americans?

My only take on Biden's cancer diagnosis is: When will the fucking Felon47 release his FULL medical records?

This was all debated, wrangled, argued & legislated two years ago. It begins next month. There's nothing else to talk about, apparently. The Coalition policy cupboard has been empty since the Back In Black coffee mugs were quietly dropped in the rear lane waste bin. #auspol

If somebody doesn’t turn this into a TV comedy series featuring a newbie CIA agent posted to the consulate in Nuuk, I’ll be very disappointed.

Bucharest is excited for their mayor, Nicușor Dan, to have been elected the new president of Romania! The world is rejecting Trumpism.

Trump just made it up to 98% more expensive to have a baby. Trump's baby tax is here.

Utterly delusional. Hope it happens. A 30 seat total in 2028 would be in play. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Every fascist regime fails, but fascists always believe they’re smarter than the last bunch of fascists.

“The Day of German Literature” took place 92 years ago today. Nazi students & right-wing groups staged book burnings targeting works by Jewish, leftist and other non-conforming authors. These burnings were a deliberate attempt to control thought and limit access to diverse perspectives.

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

Sky’s Andrew Clennell reveals that Jacinta Price has nominated herself to be Angus Taylor’s Deputy after being “encouraged to run by fmr PM Tony Abbott” If they start their rebuild listening to Tony Abbott the guy who encouraged Dutton on every culture war, they’re official dead

At this point I really need every single American to be at this level of rage. I don’t recognize this country anymore. And he hadn’t even seen the news yet of the mayor being taken and congress members being assaulted by ICE. This is appropriate levels of rage.

FRIEND: "We're at risk of slipping into fascism." ME: "Oh, honey . . . when they are arresting judges and mayors, we've already slipped."

I see parts of the press gallery are doing what they see as their primary job - carrying water for those who want to be the next Liberal leader.

Chicago is on to something.

Jack Brearley and Brodie Palmer are found guilty by a WA Supreme Court jury of the murder of Indigenous schoolboy Cassius Turvey, who died after being savagely beaten with a metal shopping trolley pole, sparking nationwide vigils.

Breaking. The fabulous Laura Tingle is to leave Canberra to become the ABC’s Global Affairs Editor. Just announced.

Dear @abc-news.bsky.social Why is Tim Wilson being given a platform on the national broadcaster for his long acceptance speech? How many other HoRs candidates got that opportunity? #balance Have you learnt nothing from this federal election? Bcuz I sure as shit hope you have! 🐝 #auspol

Wilson: "Nuclear power is part of building the future industrial base of our country. If we don’t do that, then we are saying either we’re going back to coal, or we as a nation are going to end industrialisation. That is not a future I am prepared to accept." Holy shite. He can't be that dumb.

“And I want Australia to know I have a softer side, Brian.” “You aren’t a monster.” “Exactly.” “Except for when your department was forced by the federal court to transfer a sick child from Nauru to Australia. Or when you accused medical experts of being activist doctors.” “Fuck off Brian.” #auspol

Peter Dutton “I am an emotional person particularly where I see...stories of kids being harmed.” 😳 He's a sociopath! #auspol #AusVotes25 #TemuTrump #qanda #abc730

It’s a week till election night. Next Saturday also marks a huge end of an era with the last election for @antonygreenelec.bsky.social. What a marvellous service he has done for the nation. I propose a minute’s silence from politics nerds around the country to give him thanks. #auspol ⭐️

Someone got the shot 📸 #auspol

BREAKING THREAD: 1. Cost of living’s at forefront of #auspol election, so 4 Corners did deep dive into the PM & Opposition Leader’s finances. Analysing complicated document maze, we found Peter Dutton failed to declare to parliament he was beneficiary of family trust. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

#TemuTrump is getting more hysterical #auspol

Peter Dutton, showing his "soft side"....

Good morning and Welcome To Country everyone (Except those racists who are so triggered by a gracious welcome it consumes the entire federal election) 😁❤️🖤💛

This is Tom Homan. He is only 38 months older than me. This is what hatred and utter and complete lack of compassion will do to you.

It just about feels like every time I tell a fellow New Zealander about Australian penalty rates, another person decides to migrate across the ditch

Waste of time… and our money! apple.news/APQoSGUo4Qri...

💯 this!!!

A correction for the muppets at #SkyNews. Although the legislation to ban live exports passed in 2024. The ban itself doesn't come into effect until 2029. So the exports are still ongoing. There is NOTHING to reinstate. #auspol
