Retired wannabe Oz socialist. One of those annoying progressives that Albanese now despises, but used to rely on for support. Sigh🫣

It’s like asking Americans to show respect for Al Qaeda after they attacked us. Putin is terrorizing Ukrainian civilians every day now for over 4 years.
Trump accuses Zelenskyy of showing “great disrespect” to Russia

Todd Blanche needs to read a history book. Richard Nixon didn't go to prison. His Attorney General Did.

here's is full footage of the crashout Attorney General Todd Blanche just had on CNN, including him confirming he'll investigate Democrats on Trump's demand and leaving the door open to trying to imprison them

Ted Lieu is correct! Todd Blanche is supposed to be serving the American people, not serving as Trump’s personal attorney. 🤬 After he is investigated, he should be disbarred. Release the Epstein files, Blanche.

So todd blanche can target trump's enemies and it's fine but Congress carrying out its constitutionally mandated role of oversight is illegal??????? Make it make sense.

No economist has ever explained the trap of being poor better than Terry Pratchett's boots theory. A wealthy man buys a $200 pair of boots that lasts ten years. A poor man can only afford $40 boots that leak after six months, so he spends $800 over the same ten years and still has wet feet. Poverty isn't just a lack of money. It's a continuous subscription fee for not having capital up front.

People are more worried about the Chinese spy sleeping with Jensen Huang than the Russian agent sleeping in the White House.

Russia has destroyed the Kolibri rehabilitation centre for children with disabilities in Ukraine’s Poltava region. A direct hit and a huge fire burned out the classrooms, the therapy rooms and the rehabilitation equipment that was unique for the region. What kind of sick country wages war on children who are already fighting battles of their own?😭

It's so weird how the people who say "Muslims and Asians are raping our women" have come out in support of white Christian Russell Brand, isn't it? x

Ten years and six months. Russell Brand just learned the hard way that you cannot podcast your way out of a rape conviction. For the last three years, he hid behind a sudden spiritual awakening, alternative media conspiracies, and millions of online followers to paint himself as a persecuted martyr. He actively used his audience as a human shield to smear the women he destroyed. 10 minutes ago, a British judge cut straight through the grift and sent him down to the cells for a decade. You can manipulate algorithms, buy off entourages, and build an entire alternative media empire to hide your past. But when the courtroom doors lock, the internet guru act is completely dead. He is exactly what those six brave women always said he was: a manipulative predator who is finally going to spend the next ten years in a cage.

Good news. Many of our services may be fucked but at least we'll have plenty of pointlessly empathetic AI chatbots to tell us why.
JUST IN: UK growth minister declares Britain will not slow down AI development despite growing backlash in the US.

There's a lot going on, from ballots still being counted to Miller as COS to Hegseth's impeachment. But the Trump-Huang scandal is exploding. I suspect it will likely soon be THE big story. Sen. Warner and Rep. Himes ought to insist on briefings and hearings in Congress now.

It's the same thing from Pauline Hanson since 1996. One Nation grabbed seats at the Queensland 1998 election then internal squabbling destroyed it. This time it's disintegrating during the Victorian election with Gina Rinehart running strategy. #springst youtu.be/668xolO9H2M

RFK Jr endorsing Stephen Miller is like syphilis endorsing chlamydia.
Next to me, Stephen Miller is the strongest MAHA supporter in the administration. It’s time to unleash the Kraken.

As a RN, I love this for RFK Jr, an unqualified, incompetent, conspiracy theorist, anti-vaxxer, 14 year heroin addict who said he snorted cocaine off of toilet seats, eats roadkill, swims in sewage infested creeks with his grandchildren, basks in tanning beds (that tan leathery skin looks amazing, cancer and all 🤮,) says he has a brain worm, kept a journal of the 37 women he cheated with on his 2nd wife, Mary Richardson Kennedy, who ended up committing suicide. He’s now on his 3rd wife, just like Trump who cheated on all three of his wives, including Melania. He has gutted the CDC and FDA putting all Americans and their health at risk. Have you noticed the spike in food recalls under this administration? I look forward to having a physician call his BS out! This POS needs to go! ✅

Q: A young child just died of measles in Texas. Do you have a comment? RFK Jr.: It's not unusual. We have measles outbreaks all the time (This is the first Measles death in the US in 10 years)
