Graham Richardson was only 76?!?! Hoo, all that factional powerplaying must've really messed with his DNA. I could've sworn he was in his mid-80s! #AusPol

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107. 12 days of work in 107 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

She believes in the sanctity of traditional Christian marriage.

Good grief…

The utter stupidity of pursuing a criminal trial against someone for throwing a sandwich that bounced off a bullet proof vest pissing away hundreds of thousands of dollars for this joke is the perfect encapsulation of this Administration.

“What we need is a sensible, modern approach to energy policy and hunting whales and killing them for their oil is exactly that"

1. In the wake on Mamdani’s win, we’ll see a lot more far right anti-urban sentiment. Here’s a thread on its roots and evolution. The idea that the city is evil and corrupt, and the countryside innocent and pure, goes back a long way: to Theocritus in Alexandria, and to the Old Testament. 🧵

Kath and Jenny lost their sons following illegal robodebts, the ongoing secrecy of the NACC is compounding their trauma. They deserve answers and accountability.

Well that’s just shocking, @cathywilcox.bsky.social @ingridm.bsky.social, especially given that the Chancellor of ANU is *checks notes* … oh, as you were #auspol

1. MSNBC’s Ken Dilanian got his hands on an advanced copy of a new book that claims to reveal the nature of deliberations inside the US Department of Justice after the 2020 presidential election that “may have hampered the federal criminal investigations” of Donald Trump.

Cardinal Robert McElroy, a Pope Leo ally who serves as archbishop of Washington, doesn’t mince words about what’s happening. “We are witnessing a full-scale governmental assault designed to produce fear among millions. “It's an instrument of terror.”

The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums. He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up. How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?

📽️ WATCH: The U.S. government doesn’t track how often immigration agents detain citizens. So ProPublica did. We found more than 170 incidents since the start of Trump’s second term. Americans have been kicked, dragged and held for days without access to lawyers. ➡️ Full story: propub.li/3LjuAVS

Conservative judge @judgeluttig.bsky.social slams SCOTUS on @velshi.com for ignoring Trump’s 'vicious attacks on the federal courts' www.alternet.org/luttig-scotu...

No prizes for guessing what the econoplutocrats at The Economist think of Mamdani ... #ShittingThemselves

Forrest Smith, the only National Park Service engineer cleaning up abandoned oil and gas wells, lost his contract, leaving 93 orphaned wells on park lands unmanaged. These leaking wells release methane and toxins, threatening human health and the environment.

It seems multiple media outlets are declaring that Sussssssan Ley's leadership of the Liberals (and hence the Opposition) is 'embattled'. Do you agree, folks? Or is she merely 'beleaguered' or 'besieged'? #AusPol

Pondering tea-towels, at this late stage. A few people ask if I will ever do the Socialist Birdies again, which were very popular some years ago. And below, my AI dog, might be the best suited visually for a tea-towel. Everything else is so tied to issues of the moment, I'm not sure they hold up.

Oh my God, Cuba. When the guy is dead you can stop punching!

Gina is expected to fly all of the Nationals in her private jet to her mansion to thank them for their services to the electorate of Rinehart. #auspol

The EU's climate chief said the US decision to skip the COP30 climate summit is a blow but opens the door to new partnerships.

"The footage shows soldiers at Sde Teiman taking aside a detainee, then surrounding him with riot shields to block visibility while he was stabbed in the rectum with a sharp object. The detainee was treated for severe injuries."

Find a way to watch the brilliant SOLD! Who Broke the Australian Dream? On Binge. Mark Humphries and Bill Code (Director) give us a funny, sad, powerful argument for housing reform in Australia. Love the Tshirt. Love the doco more. Don’t miss!!! @humphriesmark @bill_code

Let’s make it go viral for her…

The Nationals want Australia to walk away from the Paris Agreement. Reducing emissions in pace with the global average, which includes developing countries, is inconsistent with the Paris Agreement which requires rich countries like Australia to take the lead. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

I see 'Nancy Mace' is trending. It's going to be awful, isn't it?

South Australia has announced a $17.5m fund to subsidise half the cost of new gas projects in the state - the same state that leads the country in renewables uptake. The decision has been welcomed by Australian Energy Producers.

It's so reassuring to see our Dear Leader in Washington working hard and focusing on important priorities to protect the American people from further suffering during this shutdown. His benevolence abounds. 🤮 /s

🚨BREAKING: 2 fed courts have issued orders blocking Trump’s attempt to defund SNAP. Congrats to @democracyforward.org, its co counsel and clients, and Dem State AGs.

Nothing says 'good Christian' like taking food out of children's mouths while you're firing up the nukes.

It’s ILLEGAL for the House to be in recess without the Senate’s permission. When is a reporter going to ask the “constitutional lawyer” Johnson if he ever read Art. 1, Sec. 5, Clause 4?

Q: What’s the difference between gambling, fossil fuels, banking and social media? A: The name of the minister you need to buy off.

DHS says our new piece is "dishonest, slanted, and fundamentally inaccurate" but won't say why. Here's the story where we show with evidence that DHS spliced together clips spanning years and multiple locations to create its own reality. Gift link wapo.st/4nuDGwf

It is unclear what fire, in Gaza, has ceased.
