He lost the 2020 election. He knew it. He lied about it. And now he’s demanding your money because knowingly lying didn’t make him President.

Trump just posted another video that shows he’s mentally deranged, but this one has some truth to it. Trump indeed is a tyrant dumping shit on the American people.

Even for a regime who can't even spell "due process", they don't want to draw attention to their violations of international law by prosecuting people with ZERO evidence.

Imagine writing this AUKUS puff piece saying “Rolls-Royce dismisses critics” of its UK nuclear reactor program and … forgetting … to mention the UK audit authority’s finding that “successful delivery of the project appears to be unachievable.” www.smh.com.au/world/europe...

Not being even vaguely sarcastic: At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”

The biggest problem with the ALP right now is it is led by someone who irrationally hates the Greens. He doesn't really like to "fight Tories"; he loves to fight the party that reveals his actual lack of "left-wing" positions. Someone needs to tell him to get over his uni politics crap.

A few years ago this kind of risible behaviour would have been expected only of North Korea, now it's being lauded by cabinet members of the US government.

I know pulling this quote is borderline hackwork at this point but Jesus fucking CHRIST

Earlier this month, Reform UK members were spreading “concern” that Kilgraston, a former boarding school in Perthshire, was to be turned into accommodation for asylum seekers. Now, they’re lying about giving the developer "pause for thought". Quality journalism by @alasdairclark.bsky.social.

The fact Wong thinks she can just snark her way out of this is a sign of how normalised the relationships between politicians and lobbyists have become. Like, of course the PM shouldn't be president of a registered lobby group that sells corporate members access to politicians? No shit??

Only the military remains outside Trump’s grip. Despite the firing of several top officers—and his threat to fire more—the U.S. armed forces are still led by generals and admirals whose oath is to the Constitution, not the president. But for how long? www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

The government insisted that the proscription of Palestine Action wasn’t about limiting pro-Palestinian protest, yet here they are with a measure transparently aimed at limiting pro-Palestinian protest. This is a political mess they have created for themselves with their own policies.

While not yet directly challenging Sussan Ley, Andrew Hastie is attempting to outline what could loosely be described as his vision for the country. However, he is being very divisive, not only within the Coalition, but also across the Australian community. satpa.pe/zY9NARC

As the Trump administration insists it's serious about negotiating an end to the government shutdown, racist deepfake videos mocking Dem leaders played on a loop in the White House briefing room for hours. Vice-president JD Vance said he thought the racist video was ‘funny’
