Rep. Al Green holds up “BLACK PEOPLE AREN’T APES” sign in front of Donald Trump.

CNN follows NPR and Politico in finding that DOJ scrubbed the Epstein files of evidence related to a woman who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was 13 years old.

Trump says he completely obliterated Iran’s nuclear weapons program months ago but now suggests we are going to have to bomb them again so we can obliterate it again.

“They are the accounts of ordinary community members…in the path of a campaign that deployed $1.58 million in proxy attack advertising from groups including Advance Australia, Australians for Prosperity, and Repeal the Teal, concentrated in a single electorate with a single purpose.”

"Prepare for bedlam. Each El Niño event in recent decades has gotten steadily worse, because each one drives the temperature to a new record. That’s because each is super-imposed on a higher baseline temperature that comes with the steady warming of the planet."

All my love and solidarity to the Lakemba Muslim community today after they received another security threat yesterday. Islamophobia has no place in our society, and especially not our political discourse.

Don’t forget, when Pauline drops racist bombshells into the media for everyone to react to, she’s now being funded by Gina Rinehart, major contributor to racist propaganda group Advance and inspired by MAGA-guru Steve “flood the zone with bullshit” Bannon. The offence is the point.

Dreadful. Must lead to action for change

At the end of this week, Anthony Albanese will become Australia's longest serving prime minister since John Howard. He's on track to rival Fraser and Hawke in time in the top job. But to leave what legacy?

"..US charge d’affaires, Mike Hammer, has failed to share any sort of detailed plan beyond bringing the island to a standstill by starving it of oil. One said: “There’s talk of human rights, and that this is the year Cuba changes – but little talk of what happens afterwards.”"

Albanese's silence in response to Trump's actions is understandable. In the short term, it may even feel prudent and arguably in Australia’s immediate interest, but caution can easily be interpreted as indulgence and, over time, can harden into habit. satpa.pe/cHOrzxT

My world, my Earth is a ruin. A planet spoiled by the human species. We multiplied and fought and gobbled until there was nothing left, and then we died. We controlled neither appetite nor violence; we did not adapt. We destroyed ourselves. But we destroyed the world first.

Today, under the cover of the Liberals tearing each other down, Labor has approved another coal mine extension. Extending Middlemount to 2044 means Labor has now approved 35 fossil fuel projects. In the middle of the climate crisis, they're approving more coal & gas.

Don't expect any - Jane Hume, now Deputy Leader, said today that they don't need policies in Opposition. A great way to avoid a clash with the Nats & to cover up the fact that none of them are capable of developing robust policy anyway. #Auspol

Tony Abbott says he’s excited Angus Taylor is the new Lib leader bcoz he’ll push for “stronger encouragement of national pride, & support for national symbols like the flag”🤔 Obviously he hasn’t worked out why his friend Peter Dutton is now watching from the sidelines? #auspol

“For decades, Australia has comforted itself with a familiar bedtime story: that our alliance with the United States is equal, benign, and stabilising.. That story has expired. The United States is no longer a stable liberal democracy.” By @lachiemc64.bsky.social theaimn.net/australia-is...
