Patience

Today was mostly barns

💯 “The attack on Helen Haines has been presented as a singular tragedy, a shocking departure from the ordinary, rather than as a manifestation of a problem that Australian women have been describing for generations.” Thanks for naming what I’ve been thinking this week @ronnisalt.bsky.social #auspol

On the day her second leg was amputated following the terrible incident in Wangaratta, Helen Haines has asked people to demonstrate their support through a donation to Save The Children. This is why I’m so proud of my local MP. www.savethechildrenfundraising.org.au/helenhaines

Today Donald Trump starts a week of unhinged rallies which I’m sure will be REALLY HELPFUL to Republicans on November 3rd. Please, MORE RALLIES!

Time and time again, we hear the Albanese Labor Government talking about the ‘shared values’ between Australia and the US. I don’t think anyone in Australia would identify with this behaviour.

Just think how much food and medical care a billion dollars could provide to Americans. Nah, throw it out the window! Unbelievable stupidity!!

When a politician promises to make something cheaper, ask "the second question". Where's the extra supply coming from? ⁣ ⁣ This diesel executive order doesn't make any sense https://newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/america-doesnt-have-a-shortage-of

Wow. This is quite something. Learn something new every day. 👇

Dude, your "I've been cancelled" t-shirt is answering questions about your character that no one was previously asking.

Oh come on Adam. You must know about the backlash Callaway Golf got for their terrible ad. This is the same thing. And you just made it worse by defending yourself.

Who could’ve foreseen that after the Supreme Court gave Trump immunity from prosecution for committing crimes while in office he would commit lots of crimes while in office?

Idea: no corporate welfare, subsidies, or government contracts for corporations whose employees need to rely on government assistance because of low wages.

Surely, a sane person goes to the United Nations and with one breath calls himself a peacemaker and with the next threatens to "annihilate" a nation of over 90 million people. Donald Trump is a psychiatric emergency. open.substack.com/pub/america/...

Remember the iron rule of reporting on the Middle East: Nothing justified Oct 7th. Oct 7th justified everything.

“The response to Trump’s attacks on these outlets should be for every news outlet to boycott the Trump White House. They don’t need to stand there to do their reporting. See how Trump likes it when no legitimate news outlet shows up for his tantrums and lies.” www.americaamerica.news/p/is-trump-c...

If Trump doesn’t “take care”of the Kennedy Center, it will “get ripped down.” That is the talk of a lifelong abuser.

Alan Cumming's call last night for Americans to register to vote appears to have worked. Google Trends today showed "how do i register to vote" as the top trending topic, with more than 1 million searches, up more than 5,000% compared with the previous week. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Who here hates that word “bombshell”?

Exactly.

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it. He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

NEWS: France’s Epstein investigation is expanding, with prosecutors identifying multiple potential recruiters and at least 13 previously unknown victims as they trace his trafficking network across the country.

I still can’t believe that a nut job exclaimed, “They’re eating the cats, they’re eating the dogs” and millions of Americans said, “That’s the guy I want as president.”

Cheaper Home Batteries don't just benefit those who own them.  They’re bringing down wholesale energy costs for everyone. Another example of how what's good for the planet is good for the pocket too.

83,000 Flock cameras were used by Texas police to track down a woman they suspected of getting an abortion, but tell us again how they are being used to make our communities safer.

To anyone writing about or thinking about the so-called "deal" with Venezuela for its oil reserves: It's theft, an "agreement" at the barrel of a gun. Please don't sanitize it. open.substack.com/pub/america/...

How much more spilling of blood and treasure—how much more destruction of the post-war order—will we watch the bloviating buffoon Trump commit before there’s an actual Congress to stop this madness? Asking for everyone who can vote in the midterms.

Donald trump's inability to accept NO as an answer is why he had to pay E. Jean Carroll $5 million dollars.

Today I provided our weekly update on Australia’s fuel stocks: 🚙 41 days of petrol 🚜 37 days of diesel ✈️ 35 days of jet fuel

Morning. ☕️

It was always strange to call the genocide in Gaza a war, but it's even more bizarre when there is a ceasefire and Israel has killed 1200 Palestinians since then. Even if the Guardian doesn't want to use the term genocide "war" doesn't capture one sided slaughter of civilians

Because they're traitors and should be treated as such.

Sending ICE Agents to intimidate voters at polling places, declaring martial law to try to delay or cancel the election, seizing ballots-As he gets more desperate, there's nothing he won't do to try to save his pathetic orange ass. ALL states should preemptively prepare to defend Democracy! 🇺🇸 ✊

We filed a lawsuit against the FBI, DOJ, and ODNI for failing to turn over records on the Trump admin's efforts to investigate the 2020 election and advance baseless claims of election fraud. Transparency is not optional. It's the law. We're going to court yet again to enforce it.

Egypt’s squad has returned home to a hero’s welcome following their controversial exit from the #FIFAWorldCup. Hundreds of fans followed the open-top bus parade as coach Hossam Hassan waved a Palestinian flag.

Well played.
