‘The Coalition has a long history – dating back to Malcolm Fraser – of promising one thing about health policy before an election and reversing it after the vote, and this will probably fuel a “Mediscare” campaign by Labor.’ Stephen Duckett #SaveMedicare #auspol theconversation.com/labor-and-th...

What is omitted from the Coalition’s #nuclear policy costings is far more informative about the party’s energy and climate leanings than anything contained in its modelling

God, even Crikey is reporting that Dutton has "taken the wind out of Albanese's sails" in regard to the Medicare announcement, just because Dutton has said he will match the funding dollar for dollar. The ABC did the same thing yesterday. The framing is pathetic.

All Pete Hegseth talks about is being a warrior and instilling a warrior mindset in the military. Personal courage is the cornerstone of the warrior ethos. I wonder how that fits with being such a coward as to fire generals with 35 or more years of service in a press release on a Friday night.

Kudos to Gov. Janet Mills of Maine for standing up to Trump. He threatened loss of federal funds for her state simply because it allows trans girls to play in sports. She said, “See you in court.” Trump is a weak, shallow, callous leader who wants desperately to be a despot. #BullyPolPot

Many are asking what should we do now? “We use our power, organize, mobilize, educate…the American story will not be written by who occupies the White House or by the wealthiest among us…it will be written by you, by ‘we the people.’” -fmr VP Kamala Harris receiving the NAACP Chairman’s Award.

In reality the US has only given $30 billion to Ukraine, the monetary worth of the weapons and nukes Ukraine gave up based on the legal agreement that the US would protect it from aggression is nearly $50 billion. The US failed abide the agreement and owes Ukraine money, not the other way around.

(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and then—possibly under some form of threat—deletes it.

Trump tried a seizure of power in 2021. It didn't work, because he relied only on a violent mob. The military and FBI stayed loyal to the Constitution. This time, with approval of the Republican Senate, Trump has installed anti-constitutional putschists at FBI, DoD, and Pentagon
