Under her command, the US Navy met its recruiting goals last year. The Army did not. She made being in the Navy more tolerable, based on experience of more than 20 years of her career at sea. People wanted to join Navy, to the point they had to deny people because the training slots were filled.

Trump's biggest own goal might be appointing an anti-science, anti-vaxer to HHS. The potentially millions who die will by and large be MAGA voters and natural selection will kill off his base. This is sad, but I am pretty sure Trump will not care at all. #trump #rfkjnr #usa #maga

Dear people who voted for Trump. He told you exactly what he was going to do, and the whole plan was available in a document titled Project 2025. You chose not to listen, and to be ill-informed. You put your prejudices and anger above the national interest. You FAFOed. #trump #project2025 #usa

More plays from the Trump playbook. Tell lies and scare up fear among the population. This potato cannot even find his own form of fascism, so he has to copy from someone else. #dutton #australiavotes2025 #auspolitics

@albomp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social care to answer the question with something more than 'it was a busy day' and 'communication difficulties'? Are you really so scared of Israel that you cannot call out attacks on Islamic people? #islamophobia #auspolitics

Australia, we know a Dutton government will put Australia into bed with Trumpian America. Demand from your local ALP candidate that they tell you what Labor's policy on saving Australia from becoming a client state of the US under Trump is. #auspolitics #australiavotes2025 @albomp.bsky.social

@australianlabor.bsky.social with Donald Trump now clearly aligning the United States with Russia and Putin's ideals, could you please tell the public in Australia your plans to prevent our nation becoming nothing more than a client state of an autocratic fascist regime. #auspolitics #australiavotes

So, he is basically confirming what many think. Trump is a frightened, weak, immature little arsehole. Add in sociopath, mysogynist, adjudged sexual assaulter, convicted criminal and you have the perfect CV for the position of POTUS. #trump #uspolitics

You got it wrong at 'many Americans truly think'. Many Americans, some 50% of the voting public, have demonstrated a complete lack of capacity to think. Add in the non-thinkers who had the idea that not voting at all was a good thing and you have most Americans. #americans #usa

Okay then. I will call him a fascist, racist, fuckwit, who works to implement the destructive plan of a senile, cretinous, trouser soiling, convicted felon, fraudster, racist, misogynist, adjudicated sexual assaulting, fascist fuckwit. #trump #usa #uspolitics #doge

Trump does enjoy a lot of support from seniors. I guess it is their turn for a nice dose of FAFO. #uspolitics #trump #doge

What does this really mean for Australia? We have something they want. Eventually we will be on the same list as Canada, Panama, Greenland, and Gaza. Stand by for Musk funded, US driven election interference in favour of Dutton at Australia's upcoming election. #auspolitics #austealiavotes2025

There are so many things to unpack in this story. America's gun culture, Arab/Israeli hate, how stupid (American) people can be, fear and prejuduce.... #hatecrimes #usa

The reason you’re struggling has nothing to do with migrants or Indigenous people. You’re struggling because inequality is off the charts. Dutton & Trump love it when we start blaming the people ‘beneath’ us, because it stops us thinking about the real villains - them & their filthy rich supporters.
