Jim Chalmers says you can see that the economy is turning a corner in “at least 5 positive ways” “We’ve got inflation down ✅ Wages are up ✅ Unemployment is very low ✅ We’ve got the Liberal Debt down ✅ & now Interest Rates are starting to be cut as well ✅” #AbcInsiders

Trump under fire for likening himself to Napoleon amid attacks on judges

It really is like the dumbest fuckin commenter to the Daily Mail or caller to 3AW has been made President. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Spot on, @andrewwilkiemp.bsky.social. Mr Dutton’s proposed cuts to the APS will see us return to the poor outcomes seen under last govt, where veterans waited over a year just to have their claims even assigned to a reviewer, let alone approved. www.canberratimes.com.au/story/888890...

Peter Dutton spks on “dark chapters” of the past, marking the 17th anniversary of the National Apology to the Stolen Generations. “We’ve accepted those chapters & apologised for them” No you didn’t, you didn’t have the stomach to say sorry & walked out. Fkn racist liar.

I couldn't be stuffed getting out of the house today to buy bread so I made it instead 🤣

Tesla paid $0 in federal income tax last year. 2022: $0 2021: $0 2020: $0 2019: $0 2018: $0 Tesla reported $6.7 billion in profit in those years.

The USA has become a state run by cashed up tech nerds who have taken their bro cosplay out of the chat rooms into the mainstream. They idolise themselves and care little for society because they were hated as kids. In search of power they have latched onto the radicalised fascist ideology as they…

Ahaah.. This is 1 of the reasons that Spudnik is deflecting, distracting & upping his attacks on Labor. ‘Australian Human Rights Commission has accepted a group legal action against Peter Dutton’ He’ll b wanting to sweep all that under the rug b4 the election michaelwest.com.au/human-rights...

Federal employees are flying this outside the state department as the media uses cute euphemisms like "makeover" for the coup unfolding in the executive branch.

Yes, It’s a Coup and Yes, It’s Targeting You

FBI Uncovers Al-Qaeda Plot To Just Sit Back And Enjoy Collapse Of United States

Our United Airlines pilot made sure to emphasize *Mexico* when he said we'd be flying over the Gulf of *Mexico* today. It's the little things. Microdose hope.

Just one more thing to loathe about bus travel. The driver is playing 3AW 😭

He’s going Full Trump, isn’t he. Not an original idea in his head. Just surly, divisive nastiness.

Says it all, really. No ideas, just third rate copycat crap. That’s Dutton all over. And what do you bet the hats are made in China?

Dutton is a laughable throwback. Bashing unions, demonising public servants, lionising Howard. Yawn. He knows full well that apart from repairing debased frontline services, many of the new public servants replaced expensive conflicted consultants getting rich on the public purse. #insiders

The federal National Transportation Safety Board has declared that all updates on the crashes in Washington and Philadelphia will now only be posted on its X account. No emails and no other platforms, naturally. Again: buying Trump was the best investment co-president Musk ever made.

My latest article for The Shot. Please join me as we mercilessly mock Queen Gina, patron saint of global warming, and her merry gang of sycophants at something called National Mining Day . . . or as Gina would say, National Mahning Day. #drillbabydrill theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

The FBI’s core values, including integrity, compassion, fairness, and allegiance to the Constitution - and oh, yeah, diversity, are being painted over at the FBI Academy. Source: NYT.

The Reviews Are In! 👀 “Grotesque & Outrageous” “Downright Disgusting” “Disgraceful” “Absolutely Shameful” “Despicable” “Racist & Sexist” “A Betrayal” “Monstrous” “Simply UnAmerican” “Craven” “Pathetic” “Absolutely Vile” “What A Horrible Pathetic Little Man!” #EmbarrassmentInChief 😩 bit.ly/3PZ2H4j

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

I have never seen anyone flip as quickly as Robert F. Kennedy did on the question of whether a woman has the right to control her own body.

#PatriciaKarvelas interviews #Albo #AfternoonBriefing BL Chin raising ‘I’m better than you’ arrogance, eyeblocks doesn’t want to look at that, crossed arms closed off defensive, one arm cross, nervous self hug. Head tilt, eyeblocks, discomfort, smug. Relief it’s over laughter.

Waiting for the electrician on my ADO I may as well find something productive to do

The Opposition's decision to politicise the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz and suggest our Minister for Foreign Affairs is an inappropriate person to represent Australia at the official commemoration is, frankly, sickening. They are beyond the pale.

So let’s see, Trump has been President for a week and now we are fighting with Canada, Greenland, Mexico, Denmark, Panama, Colombia, and pretty much the entire EU. It does seem that Viktor Orban and Netanyahu now likes us more though, so there’s that.
