The longest government shutdown in US history is over, but Democrats got nothing much to show for it. @theshufflediary.bsky.social joins @emmashortis.bsky.social to discuss what this means for already-appalling health insurance costs. Plus: the CIA & the Whitlam dismissal. 🎧 theaus.in/48jaGTH

More than half of respondents in a new survey said they were concerned about US interference in Australia, a jump of nearly 20 points since 2021. 👉 Read the full story: theconversation.com/austral...

The capital gains tax discount & negative gearing have made housing less affordable & exacerbated inequality. On this episode, Maiy Azize, @purplepingers.bsky.social, Josie Lee & @amyremeikis.bsky.social discuss the origins of the housing crisis & how to fix the current mess. 🎧 theaus.in/49Y7n5w

How will Trump respond to last week's historic Democratic wins? "I think Trump is capable of course-correcting; he has no ideological consistency. "But the difference with Trump 2.0 is...the way this government has been effectively overtaken by Project 2025." @emmashortis.bsky.social Link 🔽

"You can't trust Donald Trump." "But you can trust Trump to be Trump." @mattduss.bsky.social from @cipolicy.bsky.social on how Australia & other countries can understand the US President. 🎧 theaus.in/4nrpSTe @emmashortis.bsky.social #auspol

Scary, but what a fkn weenie Stephen Miller is.

Labubu futures and gold as a memecoin. What a time to be alive.

Trump’s scare tactics and the uncertainty in the economy is why people are lining up to invest in gold. ‘When things get scary, people flock to gold. This is why they’re all lining up at the ABC bullion store in Martin Place.’ - Greg Jericho, Chief Economist @grogsgamut.bsky.social #auspol

"We can demand that the Australian government does stand up for Australian values. "Poll after poll indicates that Australians are deeply concerned about Donald Trump & what he is doing in the US." @emmashortis.bsky.social on AUKUS & the Australia-America relationship. #auspol 🎧 theaus.in/4hkIe6K

Shared values looking shaky af #auspol

The world has been witnessing the dreadful toll of Israel’s genocide in Gaza and Trump’s ceasefire agreement has little resolution for lasting peace. ‘Any agreement that doesn’t include Palestinians is not a plan for lasting and genuine peace in the region.’ @emmashortis.bsky.social #auspol #gaza

Trump may have declared the war on Gaza over, but a ceasefire & lasting peace are not the same thing. Great to have Navi Pillay, fmr UN High Commissioner for Human Rights & '25 Sydney Peace Laureate, on this week's After America. @emmashortis.bsky.social australiainstitute.org.au/post/no-peac...

The IMF's World Economic Outlook report is titled ‘Global Economy in Flux, Prospects Remain Dim.’ Which is really just a polite way of saying 'Donald Trump is causing chaos, and it's not looking good.' @grogsgamut.bsky.social @elinorjohnstonleek.bsky.social #auspol

"You’re not really holding out hope that environment laws passed with the blessing of Matt Canavan are going to really fix the problems." "If Matt Canavan thinks they're good laws, I reckon the koalas should be nervous." @ebonybennett.bsky.social @leanneminshull.bsky.social #auspol

This could rival even the bleakest Canberra grad house party for the most abysmal social event on record.

The world is watching. Listen to Groundwork’s Liz Pancotti lay out for After America why the fight for health care is so essential: australiainstitute.org.au/post/trumps-...

Our analysis reveals the prices Australians could pay if the Trump administration had its way & dismantled the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme. "The difference is terrifying," says @emmashortis.bsky.social. "It is wild how much Americans have to spend on essential medications." theaus.in/42D6R8K

Soaring healthcare costs are at the heart of the US government shutdown. With a key tax credit due to expire, Americans' premiums could jump $200-300/month. "That's a car payment...2-3 trips to the grocery store," says Liz Pancotti from @groundwork.bsky.social. 🎧 theaus.in/4oj2TdV

All roads lead to a chronically online dude his parents' spare room.

While the new 5% house deposit policy sounds great, it's actually going to push soaring house prices even higher. "All this does is create more demand in the economy." - Greg Jericho, Chief Economist @grogsgamut.bsky.social #auspol

For the people of Tuvalu, climate change isn't a distant threat. The whole country could disappear below rising sea levels within decades. But its people are fighting to save their home and their future. @stephenlongaus.bsky.social #auspol

Really nice of @emmashortis.bsky.social to have me on to talk about Trump and history and the effects on Australia politics.

As Trump takes a sledgehammer to US democracy, Australia’s leader snagged a selfie & a 1-on-1 meeting. @theshufflediary.bsky.social joins @emmashortis.bsky.social to discuss the PM's selfie diplomacy & how Australia’s political landscape is being influenced by MAGA. #auspol 🎧 theaus.in/4mGdePE

No Trump meeting might be the best outcome for Anthony Albanese. Allan Behm joins @emmashortis.bsky.social to discuss MAGA's deification of Charlie Kirk, Australia’s disastrous fortnight of Pacific diplomacy & the best-case scenario out of a Trump-Albanese meeting. #auspol 🎧 theaus.in/4mwlQbJ

Wild, wild times. #auspol @emmashortis.bsky.social

There's been a lot of discussion about whether Albanese will get a meeting with Trump at the upcoming UN General Assembly. But would it even be a good idea? International & Security Affairs Advisor Allan Behm thinks Albanese would do better to avoid it. #auspol @emmashortis.bsky.social
