Soon to be former Liberal Leader Sussan Ley essentially announces she wants the govt to legislate Zionism in schools and unis. Just pro-genocide shite.

And there it is

Bondi politic. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Watch attempts to use the horrific mass shooting in Australia as “proof” that gun safety laws don’t work Bondi is Australia’s first deadly mass shooting in 3 years Brown is USA’s first deadly mass shooting in 3 days And the 15th deadly & 389th overall mass shooting of 2025 There is no comparison

Incredible footage out of Australia, confirmed by NEWS AU, of a brave bystander neutralizing one of the terrorists in the Bondi Beach attack which took place during a Hanukkah gathering. Australian authorities say multiple people have been killed. At least two suspects are in custody.

“Australia just quietly made medical history... because we listened to science ZERO cervical cancer cases diagnosed in Aussie women under 25 in 2021... the first time since national records began in 1982 Thanks to HPV vaccination & better cervical screening” H/t Snarky Gherkin

Hundreds of kids in S Carolina are being quarantined right now because of a measles outbreak. I don’t have patience for niceties when it comes to this crap, so if you’re an anti-vaxxer, keep your damn kids at home and don’t travel for the holidays. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

July 31 signals summer's coming end. Supercharge your student's curiosity of history and current events; Tour the Kansas State Capitol and State Library of Kansas with the Kansas Historical Society, library.ks.gov/about-us/visit. #Kansas #StateLibrary

The Trump administration’s move to gut a library-supporting federal agency could make a legislative victory for backers of the South Dakota #StateLibrary short-lived.

Any ABC RN Breakfast fans out there? What was the song played at the very end of today's show? Desperate to remember...

The govt is spending billions to keep 100 asylum seekers on Nauru, a nation of 12 000 people the size of Tullamarine airport. Reports implicating the Finks bikie gang in those deals are deeply concerning. Public servants have risked their livelihoods to speak out.

Also: From Senator Ron Wyden: Beware the Republicans are trying to hide/slide a national abortion ban into the shutdown negotiations!! Call your senators 202-224-3121 ‼️‼️

To recap, among young voters… Prop 50: +58 Sherril: +37 Spanberger: +40 Mamdani: +61 I better see the media start retracting some of those stories saying Gen Z is the most conservative generation.

The Government Shutdown entered its 36th day.

I wonder why so many people are feeling aggrieved and becoming radicalised. Could it be the breathtaking wholesale betrayal of our values, while lying about it, on a daily basis?

Zohran Mamdani gives pep talk to supporters in New York ahead of Election Day

WATCH: “Are the reforms Dems are pushing for tinkering at the edges of a system that is inherently corrupt and not delivering?” As Dems fight to stop premiums from skyrocketing, Kamala & Jon Stewart make the case for MEDICARE FOR ALL. (without ever mentioning it by name)

Yikes…

BlinkRX, an online prescription drug delivery company, stands to benefit from proposed changes by Trump that would allow pharmaceutical companies to sell drugs directly to patients. His son, Eric Trump, is on the company’s board. Always follow the money.

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

Is that about 5 states now! When they talk about about not vaccinating your children. You know they and their children were right.

Cantor Fitzgerald is a nepotistic factory. Highly recommend this documentary for a quick history lesson on Howard Lutnick—aka the guy whose résumé reads like “nepotism, but make it sinister.” Perfect fit for this administration🤭 📺 youtu.be/NYWsonBlNaY?...
