I have said it and am gonna keep saying it. The coalition voted for holding a referendum and then campaigned against the question to generate granular seat-by-seat data - all publicly funded - for their targeted racism strategy in this federal election campaign.

34 dead and 117 injured and this is what U.S. Secretary of State Rubio comes up with on the Russian missile strike in Sumy: "A tragic reminder of why President Trump has pushed to end this war." No Marco, it is a tragic reminder of how ineffective your administration is in 'resolving' this war.

It’s surely time to call the game. Trump has only served to make it clearer, but it’s been the same for "yonks". A one-way street, loyalty one way, and "sweet bugger all" the other. #auspol #AUKUS

CRISIS: Jeffrey Goldberg likely possesses evidence of high crimes committed by the very top Executive branch officials, who now viciously attack him for it. The Legislative branch's Capitol Police could protect Goldberg since US adversaries like Russia have an interest for Goldberg to disappear.

Can readers help me assemble a short list of GOP reps who may not grasp this, might be persuaded to behave differently if they did, and whose votes could help to impeach him? (And also, Dem. reps laboring under the fantasy of cooperating with him?)

If you’re calling Mark Kelly (U.S. Navy combat pilot, NASA astronaut, and U.S. Senator) a traitor and Donald Trump (convicted felon, rapist, and Russia’s KGB agent “Krasnov”) your president, it might be time for a long look in the mirror.

1/8 I think this article misses the point in at least two ways. First, the Chinese economy will indeed seem "resilient", but only as long as Washington's flailing trade policies fail to resolve the US trade imbalance. www.reuters.com/business/tra...

I've been encountering over the past few days the claim that the planet is warming twice as fast as predicted. This is entirely untruthful and unhelpful. The planet is warming AS fast as predicted, which is cause enough for dramatic action. The truth is bad enough!
