So it might be that Luxon is trying to distract with talk about marmite sandwiches from this news? Cancelling the irex ferries cost us $300million. #nzpol #nickynoboats #bhn www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

This is so childish because you can't hide the numbers from earnings reports. It doesn't do anything but destroy your credibility.

Vital services and protections for everyday Americans are being gutted thanks to DOGE. And this is happening in exchange for renewing one of the biggest tax cuts in American history that will predominantly benefit people like...you guessed it...Elon Musk. See the problem here?

I've met and/or known quite a few NZ Prime Ministers but never met anyone so ill suited, so utterly lacking in political nous as Luxon.

ABANDONMENT HURTS. Pets are not disposable, they're living souls who feel joy, pain, and love just like we do. Their innocent eyes, loving purrs, and unconditional love... all crushed by rejection. Promise a FOREVER HOME or don't adopt at all. 🙏 #adoptdontshop #cats #stoppetabandonment

This is how our government has been corrupted:  1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.  2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.  3) Donors make a huge profit.  4) Repeat. For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

The USA under Trump is no defender of national sovereignty. Trump has greater loyalty for Putin than to US "allies" like Ukraine or Europe. Plus there's his remarks re NATO, Greenland, Panama, Canada and Palestine. Australia should srsly consider withdrawing from #AUKUS. #auspol #USPolitics

The US Australia relationship is an abusive one that it’s time to leave. It was great for so many years. Not anymore. #Auspol. 🙃🤞🦋

This from Saul Eslake: Rather, in my view, the American people choosing — as they clearly did — a convicted felon, self-confessed sexual predator, racist, narcissist, protectionist, someone who openly displays his contempt for the US constitution, the “norms” and conventions of both personal

The DOGE guys didn’t just make one $8B mistake in their savings list — “they are getting it wrong with alarming consistency” They don’t seem to understand how these things are calculated. 🧵: x.com/electricfutu...
