Peter Dutton literally sitting down on the job, doing nothing to solve the housing crisis, but voting against every single one of Labor's cost-of-living solutions. #auspol #AusVotes25 #HousingCrisis #CostOfLivingCrisis

Odd, how the United States doesn't have enough money to give sick veterans healthcare, impoverished seniors Social Security, or hungry schoolkids lunches, but it does have enough money to pay a Central American dictator millions to torture American residents in his brutal concentration camp.

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today. This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

A president who has the power to send an innocent human being to a foreign concentration camp, but claims he lacks the power to bring them back, is committing the crime of false imprisonment.

Michaelia Cash is saying that Dutton will have the exact same attitude as Trump, if Australia elects a Dutton-led coalition government. I don't understand how people aren't more concerned by this.

USAID has saved millions of babies' lives. Don't care about that? They stop diseases from reaching the U.S. and help us create allies and partnerships. If we leave the world stage, the PRC will fill the void. Don't care about that? Eliminating USAID without an act of Congress is illegal.

USAID is a criminal organization,” Mr. Musk wrote on Sunday in a social media post that many aid workers saw as confirmation the agency would soon be absorbed into the State Department and that some viewed as a potential threat to their personal safety. “Time for it to die.” THIS HAS TO STOP.

Remember: The tariffs aren’t about economics, and DOGE isn’t about fiscal responsibility. They are both about ••psychopathology**.

I am writing about what is happening to federal personnel policy. One difficulty is that it's hard to observe and verify what is actually happening. I am particularly interested in information about the employment status of individuals working with/in DOGE. Anonymous tips welcome. Signal: Nbednar.46

I don’t want to be an alarmist but this is insanely dangerous. Elon Musk, an unelected billionaire with no oversight, has gained access to the federal government’s payment system And all of our data. What is he planning to do with it?

EVERY CITIZEN file a complaint online with your states Attorney General. Here’s your prompt DOGE’s overreach is alarming. Illegally accessing private data via the Treasury Department demands immediate investigation. Regardless of partisan loyalties, this should concern us all.

Since tariffs are a tax on U.S. importers, why do we permit the President to impose them unilaterally without authorization from Congress? Asking for a nation.

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.

Right wing “Christians” are attacking bishops who call for mercy, defending or giving Nazi salutes, and giddily cheering for deportations, all while continuing to pretend that THEY are the ones who are being persecuted. Damn them all to Hell.

I am heartbroken by the tragedy in D.C. tonight. There is little meaningful that any of us can do online to honor those who died, but calling attention to the fact that Trump is now trying to make aviation less safe at a time we are having lots of mid-air collisions and near misses is not nothing.

We’ve been on the phone with multiple agencies/orgs. They’ve been completely cut off from federal money. We’re talking housing, homeless services, public safety, etc. I’m calling a press conference today to explain how this could have drastic local impacts to our constituents.

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”
