The Australien Government has made an ad to announce the 2025 election, and it's surprisingly honest and informative. #auspol

increases in Medicare rebate include an extra 12.5 per cent that will only be paid to practices that exclusively bulk-bill. Labor are also promising 400 nursing scholarships and 2,000 new GP trainees a year by 2028. So sensible! www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Some Americans have said it’s okay that Trump is effectively America’s king. After all, according to a 2017 survey, some 23 million Americans believe chocolate comes from brown cows. johnmenadue.com/trump-the-wa...

"The Supreme Court, in its first decision on President Trump’s use of executive power in his second term, ruled on Friday that he cannot, for now, remove a government lawyer who leads the watchdog agency that protects whistle-blowers." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

This morning on ABC RN Breakfast, Sally Sara's first qn to Treasurer @jimchalmers.bsky.social was this: "Will this rate cut get Labor over the line at the election?" srsly. Yet Sara failed to even mention THIS 👇 fun fact. #auspol #ausecon #AusVotes2025

Trump just deputized unelected billionaire Elon Musk's private bodyguards, giving them rights and protections reserved for federal law enforcement. Are people still afraid to say the word "coup?" www.cnn.com/2025/02/20/p...

The FBI is destroyed forever and none of our institutions are bearing up under the weight of this unrelenting assault on our democracy. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/b...

"There’s a term for what Musk and Trump are doing. It’s a coup d’etat. But the mainstream media is refusing to say it — and that’s a huge problem". Robert Reich, Inequality Media

Tax loopholes for the rich. A bloated military budget. Lucrative contracts and subsidies to private corporations. These are all huge sources of federal waste and fraud, but don't expect Elon Musk and DOGE to take aim at any of them.

Once again: The fundamental issue that DOGE is failing to address isn’t the size of the government or how “efficient” it is — but who our government is for. Should it work mainly for big corporations and billionaires — or for the rest of us?

Trump’s tariffs are yet another scam — taking a higher percentage out of the paychecks of working people than out of the wealthy. Trump even suggested he would use the revenue to “offset” more tax cuts for the rich and big corporations.
