Currently enjoying watching reruns and husband getting annoyed every time I point out that this isn’t fiction- it is prophecy! It’s like they foresaw trump and musk - but not convinced which is the sith lord and which is the apprentice!

Remember when Sam Dastyari paid back $1600 loan he shouldn’t have taken and mainstream media went *berserk* for months? ABC730 & Leigh Sales even took THREE camera crews to his presser to nail him. #Dutton’s “lucky” bank share purchases day before govt bailout hardly causes tiny ripples? Why? How?

Peter Dutton has refused to reveal details about bank shares he bought at the height of the global financial crisis in the days before a bank bailout, defending his lucrative property investment history and stock market decisions www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

"Murujuga, that is one of the most important artworks in the world...they've turned it into an industrial park. I think it's disgraceful." "Hopefully we stop the acid gas emissions continuing from the North West Shelf gas project." @markogge.bsky.social in Fremantle last week #auspol

Putin’s lifelong dream was to somehow separate the US from NATO. But how to break up a strong alliance that stood for 80 years and continued to expand? There really was only one way to do it, he figured it out a decade ago, and played the long game. Now his guy will do it.

A newfound RESPECT for @maddow.msnbc.com for keeping it real about what’s going on at MSNBC and how she really feels about it. She didn’t have to say this, but I’m so glad she did. Take 2 minutes… (1 of 2)

With all ALP’s problems, this is a timely reminder that both parties are not the same!

The aircraft neither knows nor cares whether the pilot is male or female. It neither knows nor cares about their race, religion, sexuality. All the aircraft responds to is skill, knowledge and experience.

Trump was thrilled to announce tonight that he has terminated America’s most senior military officer — Gen. C.Q. Brown, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Trump failed to provide a reason as to why he abruptly fired Brown from his position. It is, in fact, the first time that the…

It’s a cult.

Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

Doing this right before firing three top military leaders is so deranged. Source at DoD told me, “Disdain for Hegseth is a near-universal feeling even among the Trumpiest in the office.“

This is how many hours per week a person needs to work in order to escape poverty. The US is dead last. #Poverty #USA

TRUMP: The NCAA has complied immediately. That's good. But I understand Maine -- is the governor of Maine here? JANET MILLS: Yeah I'm here TRUMP: Are you not gonna comply? JM: I'm going to comply with state and federal law T: You better do it bc you're not gonna get any federal funding at all

Big Gas is taking the piss. Help us spread the word, and share this. 👇 90% of WA’s gas is exported. Big Gas takes 73% the gas for free. To add insult to injury, these gas exporters have never paid resources tax. Add your name to make them pay their fair share: theaus.in/collect_gas_... #auspol

Independent Australia's catalogue of major reasons Peter Dutton should never be prime minister now numbers 85. Michelle Pini updates the list of cons. There's currently a consistent crusade by the legacy media to turn a “monster” into a credible contender for the top job but we’re not buying it.

Trump looks weak and erratic—selling out to Russia, attacking Zelenskyy, and throwing workers under the bus. Markets are rattled, his approval is crashing, and his MAGA cronies are overstepping. Watch the MeidasTouch Podcast live at 8p ET/5p PT!

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Who found Richard Marles a spine?

“After we’ve discriminated against, deported, or disparaged all the immigrants, the gay and lesbian and transgender people, the developmentally disabled, the women, and minorities. Once we’ve ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friends… what comes next?” - Gov. JB Pritzker

Yes that makes sense …

3rd day in a row on the golf course while Musk runs the country. He didn’t even know yesterday that the head of the Social Security Admin resigned, and didn’t know SpaceX employees were working at the FAA/DOD, and claimed Medicaid wasn’t being cut when it’s being cut massively.

Trump calls himself “THE KING”

#auspol The Australian economy has gone from 91st in world under the awful inept liberals to 2nd best under Labor!

Juice Media 🎯as always …

Take note Australia: Peter Dutton says he will sack 36,000 Australian public servants who are currently performing very necessary roles in departments like health, agriculture, industry, transport, veterans, affairs, education, building regulation, etc. Which loss of jobs will make us safer?

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

‘Liberal party caught funding fossil fuel lies’ While the Libs & Advance hve denied for yrs they are connected - we now know that the Libs are Advance’s biggest funder. Advance uses these funds to spread lies, misinformation & fossil fuel propaganda. theklaxon.com.au/liberal-part...

Here is the ad the Washington Post accepted and then rejected:

Gosh I hope you’re right!

Here's the ad @washingtonpost.com refused to run. Would be a shame if everyone here saw it for free.

theklaxon.com.au/liberal-part... The Liberal Party and “Advance” have for years denied they are connected, yet two weeks ago it emerged the Liberal Party is Advance’s biggest funder — and by a factor of ten. #auspol #qldpol
