The ABC continuing their recent practice of punching themselves publicly in the head. For an organisation dedicated to avoiding any or all controversy at all costs, this has to be one of the greatest own goals in the Australian national broadcaster's history. Who is pushing this? #LattoufvABC

Tell me you're redlining without telling me you're redlining

Peter Dutton snaps at journo for daring to ask about his politicising of antisemitism. Tells her it’s a “disgraceful slur” Dutton “I would have the same stance in relation to any other element of society that’s being targeted” Except Muslims & First Nations ppl of course🙄Liar

Murphy: "This isn't hyperbole to say we are staying the death of democracy in the eyes right now. The centerpiece of our democracy is we observe court rulings."

So as I understand things, if a Democrat wins in 2028, and appoints George Soros to DOGE, Soros can just end ICE without any Congressional review, and the Supreme Court can't stop it. Do I have this right?

is the goal merit or is the goal segregation?

BREAKING NEWS: A federal judge has determined that the Trump Administration has violated his order that stopped his spending freeze on federal grant programs. Trump has just been ordered to immediately unfreeze funds, including for the National Institute of Health.

Australia has a Blak history.

Is there anyone out there that is mapping any delayed or cancelled federal payments ? Would be really interesting to see which towns and cities are going to be hit

And Ita's parting words to Australia after all of that are: "Jesus Christ!" because the mic under her nose is still on, despite Ita reminding the court many times today how experienced she is in the media and how many decades she has worked in it. #pfffft

Tulsi Gabbard is a national security threat, and the Senate votes on her today. A vote to confirm her as Intelligence Director is a betrayal to our nation, and will put us all in danger. Call your Senator now and tell them Tulsi is too great a risk: 202-224-3121 www.youtube.com/watch?v=bInd...

I'm still puzzling over Ita Buttrose claiming in court today that ABC staff had not checked into Ms Lattouf's background in any way, and Ms Buttrose had formed no opinion of her one way or the other - but somehow Ms Buttrose knew with great certainty that Ms Lattouf was an "activist". Eh?

When questioned on evidence showing she said she hoped Antoinette Lattouf would get flu or COVID, “Buttrose laughed” “It was a “face-saving suggestion”, she said adding: “I just thought it might be easier for Antoinette” Oh how thoughtful, Ita…seriously🙄 www.theguardian.com/media/2025/f...

Australia - built on murder.

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

BREAKING NEWS: Canada’s BC Liquor Distribution Branch will immediately stop buying American liquor from red states, including Whisky and Bourbon, and will have the top-selling “red-state” brands removed from its shelves.

it's like smoot hawley all over again

BREAKING NEWS: Half a dozen U.S. Medical facilities in the Sudan say following Trump’s order to immediately stop their operations will cause up to 100 babies and toddlers die. So they will defy his order.

My message to Zuck

As the January 6th riots fall further into the past, Republicans are doing everything they can to whitewash their treason. We can’t let them. We remember what they did, and we will never let them, or the American people, forget.

Facts will never be politically biased, they're just the truth. No amount of lies from MAGA will ever rewrite what we all know to be true.

Bolton: "If you're the prime minister of Denmark, your NATO ally is refusing to say they're not gonna attack your territory."

@xiaotongyang.bsky.social makes up utter 🐂💩 here and on xitter. i asked “her” in a DM why “she” lies and was instantly blocked. if you see 🐂💩 content, please report “her” and block.

I’m sorry to start the day with something so sobering, but Robert F. Kennedy is about to completely weaken global health - and people will die because of it. Here’s how. 🧵

One thing that is glaringly obvious to anyone paying attention: The institutional media is being purchased and controlled by American oligarchs, and as such, can no longer be relied upon to carry out it's responsibility as the 4th estate.

Ukrainian boxing legend (and brother of Kyiv's mayor) Wladimir Klitschko responds to Joe Rogan...

Report from Al Jazeera. The figure seems plausible, although I have no way of knowing. But if it’s even half that it’s still a monstrous war crime.

BREAKING NEWS: Trump’s new AG pick, Pam Bondi, received $115,000 USD a MONTH lobbying for Qatar! How many of his cabinet members are foreign agents?

I am still shocked that all those tweets came from Nancy Mace sitting on a toilet taking a massive shit in the men’s room

Robodebt brought fear and misery to tens of thousands of Australians. Some killed themselves. Yet still these four arseholes escape untouched.

Yup.

A senior #NACC official told colleagues she had concerns over “integrity issues” that arose *before* and after the NACC began official operations. The senior manager was so alarmed by the NACC's lack of standards that she resigned 6 months into the job. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/law-cri...

Project 2025 is trumps agenda and the fact that anyone thought otherwise is insane

Tom Homan: "If I gotta send twice as many officers to LA because we're not getting any assistance, then that's what we're going to do. We got a mandate. President Trump is serious about this. I'm serious about it. This is gonna happen with or without you."

Wait! Tariffs will cause prices to go up? I thought he said he barely knew the architects of Project 2025? What's with all the sex offender nominees? A bit late for the the calamitous consequences of Trump's reelection to NOW be widely reported, guys.

RFK jnr compares Trump to Hitler, says his supporters are Nazis. Oops.

Linda McMahon in charge of Dept of Education? Not sure she has kids' best interest at heart. She, along with her spouse, are accused of tolerating the sexual abuse of children by an employee of their company, World Wrestling Entertainment. Her chief goal for education is to promote vouchers.

David Shoebridge takes aim at “offensive” NACC Commr Paul Brereton for expressing his view on the motives of Robodebt “Referred Person 1” Shoebridge “Especially in circumstances where you said you have a conflict of interest! Do you not understand the problem Commissioner?”💥 youtu.be/7LY16FjbRhw?...

It would be good for Australians if Paul Brereton, the head of the #NACC, bothered reading his own legislation. That would be helpful and oooh I dunno, might be something the public expected from him in his ~$758,000 a year position

Paul Brereton in today's #NACC public hearing: "Adding a stamp of corrupt conduct ... to conduct already exposed by the Royal Commission would add no public value. That was our thinking, or my thinking" Then how could he put out a public statement saying he wasn't involved in any decision making?

The head of the NACC, Paul Brereton, may be a decent man, but he is desperately out of his depth as the head of this large, multi-faceted, public-facing, modern, public service organisation. His disastrous performance this afternoon in the Senate hearing underlines that in very clear detail. #NACC

Helen Haines looks on concerned & calls out NACC’s Paul Brereton after he claims ppl referring cases to NACC “Doesn’t mean” they’re concerned of “corruption”😳🤦‍♂️ Haines “would be a fair assumption that most ppl referring to NACC would be doing so bcoz” of “corrupt behaviour”🔥

New in PN: Trump's corruption of the DOJ goes much deeper than Gaetz "The Gaetz nomination is a giant middle finger to anyone who believes in the rule of law. But Trump's nominees for other key DOJ roles are potentially even more dangerous for democracy."

This is a really shitty nomination. Google "Matt Whitaker toilet" for more.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Mediaite obtained the police report of the Pete Hegseth alleged sexual assault incident. The details are horrific and should be disqualifying.
