Murdochs have been a blight upon humanity #ClassWar #EatTheRich #TaxTheRich

If we have enough people with the knowledge and moral fortitude of Maine Governor Janet Mills, and the Associated Press- we might be able to save our Democracy

Apparently $10.7 million spent on Trump’s weekend golf trips is not considered to be wasteful according to Musk and his experts @DOGE! ?

(📢) This is an ASK ME ANYTHING (AMA) post—my first one in over a year, I think. Ask me any question, on any topic, and I will answer it honestly. (The only rule here is that you have to retweet this post before you ask your question, so that there will be at least _some_ audience for the answers.)

Trump White House Harassment of the Associated Press Cannot Stand open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

Trump‘s noon deadline came and went, and the remaining hostages have not been released nor has all “hell broken loose” and not a word from Trump.

Thoughts???

#Voices4Victory #ProudBlue I agree with every word she said. I don’t understand why our leaders are not stepping up & leading a resistance. I think we should flood them all emails telling them to step up. youtube.com/shorts/keNw6...

Love Niki! She tells it how it is! ..and she is right! How dare ‘Speersy’ interrupt one of the most competent journalists in the country not once but 3 times!!! Rude! He never let her finish once!Shame Mr Speers! Shame!

PEPFAR has saved over 26 million lives worldwide since 2003. PEPFAR is a bipartisan program - but its critical work is at risk because of Trump's funding freeze. On National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, I'm calling on Trump to unfreeze PEPFAR now. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/05/h...

Black excellence: Twice as qualified, half as respected, and still passed over or labeled as a ‘DEI hire.’ Black folks have always known this because we’ve seen it happen to our own family members. I know I have.

"What should an ABC News reporter do when an influential guest makes claims in a pre-recorded interview that the broadcaster knows to be untrue?" There are several options. But when Peter #TrumpLite Dutton floods the zone, ABC rarely employs them. #auspol independentaustralia.net/politics/pol...

Yep! It’s looking that you may well be right!!

How dangerous is Elon Musk??? He has acquired all personal files and has accessed all information of US government staff! Thank you Mr President! What is he going to do with all this data??? Bonne Chance to all Americans!

Meanwhile….

🇩🇪 Meanwhile in Berlin, not being reported in the US. Massive mobilization in Berlin against the extreme right

🦋 THERE IS A WORD FOR THAT 🦋

So the billionaire president’s multi-billionaire sugar daddy had his feelings hurt by the head of the FAA, so the billionaire president fired the head of the FAA — now there’s no one in charge of airline safety, and we have our first commercial airline crash in 16 years? Got it.

To recap, Trump: -Forced out the FAA chief at Musk's insistence -Imposed a hiring freeze that reportedly included air traffic controllers -Fired the TSA head and gutted a key aviation safety committee -Blamed the DCA crash on DEI This is disastrous leadership.

Trump knows it was his freezing of funding for flight traffic controllers that killed 67 people — not Obama & Biden. He’s a fetid piece of worthless garbage that should’ve been thrown away decades ago.

For the latest Unshocked episode w/ @mehdirhasan.bsky.social we talked about - what else? - shock. How Trump is using "shock and awe" as a governing strategy and how we fight back. zeteo.com/p/its-all-ab...

Let’s do this!

#NeverForget

PM Albanese slams the Liberal Party’s negative response to inflation dropping to a lower than expected rate of 2.4%, & for wanting to “see Australians worse off because they think that will make them better off politically.”🔥#AfternoonBriefing

This is how it’s done, guys.

So #RBA a rate cut would be truly well deserved.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Let’s go and do this! I’m in! Accusing the Greens and Independents of Communism is being provocative and particularly nasty and extremely divisive! Say NO to Peter Dutton for PM??? No way!

Reposting because no-one says it better, and we should not ... MUST not ... lose sight of these facts. #StopIsrael #FreePalestine

First Afternoon Briefing for 2025 today 4pm on ABC News TV I’ll be joined by The treasurer @JEChalmers Also a regular election year panel of @MurrayWatt and Jane Hume and many others
