Why is it that the people who question where the 8 billion will come from to support bulk billing are totally behind about 500 billion for AUKUS? #auspol #Aukus #Medicare

I was curious about #Musk at CPAC so I had a look. He whips up the crowd waving a chainsaw about, then sits down to speak. Nothing..crickets. Then out of nowhere "I AM MEME!". This is a weird theatre of the absurd that the USA is living through. #cpac #maga #USA

This is clearly a Nazi salute, and the crowd love it. Krystal Nacht is the next step?

Republicans forced to answer for the fact that their leader isn't simply soft on Russia but affirmatively on the side of Russia agst not only Ukraine but America's historic treaty allies. The shame will take generations to undo. www.axios.com/newsletters/...

How can you 'accidentally' fire whole government teams? And then not be able to ask them to come back because their email is access is shutdown and that is the only contact you have? Clearly the US administration is in chaos!

Some US 'Christians' need to meditate on the fact that Jesus, who they claim to follow, was once an illegal immigrant escaping persecution. Matt 2:13-23 #uspol #immigtation #christainity

Can someone please point out to the conservative Christian right in the USA that Jesus crossed into another country without papers to escape persecution. If Trump was ruling Egypt Jesus would have been sent back to be killed by Herod. Matt. 2:13-23 #trump #immigration #uspol

“Just remember: he will lie,” Yulia Navalnaya told the Munich Security Conference “He will betray,” she said about the Russian president. “He will change the rules at the last moment and force you to play his game" Sounds like #Trump as well. #putin #ukraine www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Trump's treatment of Ukraine, talking unilaterally with Putin and suggesting abandonment of territory to Russia, should make all US allies think carefully about their foreign policy settings. #trump #ukraine #uspol #auspol

BREAKING: Labor and Liberal may not agree on much but when it comes to introducing a new law to stop Clive Palmer, but which actually stops newcomers from competing with them in our elections, you can be sure they'll pass it and lock in the two-party system by Xmas www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3WT...

BREAKING: France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain & UK sign a joint statement vowing to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty & demanding a role in the peace talks. This is leadership. It’s also unprecedented. A western alliance is having to form against a new, twin & united threat: Trump & Putin.

The USA have strict rules on political donations, but the major parties have found a way around them. They now have a rigid two party system which is toxic and restricts political debate. Just saying. #auspol #electionfunding

Considering #trump #tariff policy I think the true end game is tax restructuring. Trump is looking to cut income tax, but he needs a new source of revenue. Can't add a GST on top of state sales tax, so tariffs are a hidden federal sales tax. This of course adds to financial inequality in the USA.
