I’ve never understood the protests as a way to influence Trump. I believe they’re important because they’re a way to tell each other that we’re not okay with this. They’re a way to communicate with other Americans and hopefully suppress further normalization of Trumpism in everyday life.

Hey Dutton, we haven’t forgotten your attacks on Welcome to Country ceremonies. Don’t treat Australians like fools. You walked out on the apology, and destroyed a generation worth of reconciliation with your No campaign based on cruel lies. This is your legacy. You can’t undo it now.

Coalition's big fudge on nuclear power. Dutton says cost $331B, Labor says $600B, but leading energy analyst @timbuckleywx.bsky.social estimates $4.3 trillion! #auspol @kimwingerei.bsky.social michaelwest.com.au/new-report-p...

Say what you will about the guy, but maybe it would've been better to have a president at the top of the 21st century giving a shit about climate change. Something which he was made fun of repeatedly by the pundit class for talking about.

The Loan Programs Office (LPO) is one of the most quietly effective tools the federal government has. It is the center of our industrial policy providing loans that banks won't give for energy innovation. It funds real projects. Battery factories. Nuclear reactors. Geothermal energy. Car factories.

Oh look, Ron DeSantis is totally not corrupt — he just sent $10 MILLION in taxpayer money to his wife’s “charity,” which then “magically” funneled $8.5 MILLION to a PAC backing his crony. Nothing to see here, folks. Just good ol’ wholesome Florida family values. 🙃 #DeSantisScandal

Of course the Trump regime is attempting to bully Ukraine into accepting an American peace proposal that checks many boxes on Russia’s longstanding wish list, including a “freeze” of territorial lines in the three-year war, acceptance of the annexation of Crimea by Russia, and a prohibition…

This is despicable and ridiculous, including "Governor" and not knowing who the actual Prime Minister is. But also: media outlets should routinely note Trump (a) has never once shown he understands what a trade deficit is and (b) is outright lying about the numbers (it was $35.7B in 2024).

NEW: Fox is conceding that Trump’s approval rating is collapsing significantly — having sunk to 45%. “Our new Fox News poll at 100 days job approval compared to other presidents, there you see the president at 44% and you see his first term at 45% at the 100 day mark.” 1/2

#SpittingCoffee Hey Sarah, that’s what happens when you get in bed with serpents. And you’re pretty disgusting yourself with your legislation re religion in public schools which violates freedom of religion by allowing the 10 Commandments to be posted in classrooms.

Can't help thinking Liberal policy on limiting immigration is related more to racism than housing crisis & possible solution. Likewise limiting foreign student intake. Plus, a comment by Peta Credlin on Sky ended with John Howard's "We will decide who comes to Australia & the circumstances ..."

Walz: "This is how government is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be one old man in the Oval Office sending out middle of the night tweets that shock markets into free fall. It's not supposed to be a bunch of 20 somethings unelected and firing everyone. It's not supposed to be chaos."

Trump “possibly” deciding to “relax” tariffs might sound like good news—but let’s talk reality: This back-and-forth tariff game is a nightmare for businesses. Many companies have frozen shipments or canceled production in China because the tariffs made it too expensive to bring goods in. 🧵

How in the goddamn fuck do we live in a country where Dutton offers a miserly $90 million dollars in funding for DV yet more than $20 BILLION in extra funding for the military and the media don’t report on this disparity as if it isn’t a total fucking disgrace? #NewsCorpse
