Trump was hosting visiting British PM Keir Starmer at the White House when the pair were asked by a reporter whether they'd be discussing AUKUS, under which Australia will acquire nuclear-powered submarines. "What does that mean?", Trump replied. #KillAUKUS #auspol www.9news.com.au/world/donald...

RIP Gene Hackman - One of the most influential screen actors ever. There was nothing he couldn’t do. His work was searingly truthful and often brutally honest -he never let you off the hook . Not afraid of ambiguity- a lost quality these days . Lucky & grateful to have share screen with him.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

So increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage is “socialism”? But Amazon union busting, keeping wages low, and forcing workers onto public assistance while its founder increases his net worth by $7.9M an hour is the "free market"? Perhaps this could be a WaPo opinion piece.

A reminder that Elon Musk's corporations were promised $3 billion across nearly 100 different contracts last year with 17 federal agencies. While DOGE cuts essential services for you, Musk is getting a taxpayer-funded windfall.

In what must be the biggest international news story since the end of World War 2, Australia’s main military ally has gone rogue. Meanwhile, the Australian Government refuses to comment. Our national current affairs program btw leads with a story about gas shortages.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Trump handed massive tax cuts to the rich in 2017. Now he's planning even more cuts. How are Trump and MAGA Republicans planning to pay for them? By making it harder for millions of Americans to access Medicaid, food stamps, and other federal programs. Trickle up economics.

If you wonder how countries slip into dictatorship, it’s like this. Amidst another flurry of news, an official adds at the end that Trump has signed an Executive Order saying that “only the President or Attorney General can speak for the US…as to what the law is.” What?! 👀

BREAKING -- Trump says he's kicking undocumented immigrants out of Social Security. One small problem, though -- undocumented immigrants are ALREADY ineligible for Social Security benefits. You know, because they don't have Social Security numbers. Because they're undocumented.
