"This is the first time that I know in American history that a president has staged a fake riot," Merkley stated, citing local news media accounts showing federal agents provoking confrontations, including throwing tear gas & flashbangs at peaceful, protesters.

The one-man super scheme Of all the things Scott Morrison does not understand, and the list is long and often embarrassing, somewhat in the shape of his prime ministership, China would rate very close to the top.

Under Morrison, Australia’s relationship China reached lowest point. He went year without speaking President Xi Jinping. To curry American favour pushed for pandemic inquiry that would target China.

He used fear of China to score cheap political points.

Revealed: NSW Police ‘significantly’ overstated antisemitic attacks An internal review of Operation Shelter found a “significant number” of cases had been mischaracterised as motivated by anti-Jewish sentiment.

Excellent that NSW Police have investigated alleged antisemitic attacks over last 2 years…& found they were overstated.
But why were they so wrongly recorded in 1st place?
& why did NSW Premier Chris ‘knee jerk’ Minns then bring in draconian laws, on wrong numbers?

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US.

Sportsbet dines with government minister at Labor fundraiser despite calls to reject lobbying from industry Exclusive: Dinner occurred on the same day that four crossbench MPs held a press conference calling on government to ignore lobbying from gambling industry

Every time the government accepts money from the gambling industry, it increases its debts to companies whose business models are based on preying on young and vulnerable people, and doing them harm.

The Albanese government does this again and again.

Albanese government risks failure to live up to its own pledges of increased transparency Introduced without consultation, the attorney general’s planned overhaul of freedom of information is part of a worrying drift away from truth and transparency in government * Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast There’s a great story about the origins of Australia’s freedom of information rules and just how quickly governments can lose their nerve on the principle of transparency. Malcolm Fraser oversaw the introduction of Australia’s first freedom of information law in March 1982. He said citizens’ access to official information was critical to allow voters to make “valid judgements on government policy”. Continue reading...

It'd be a real shame if this photo of President Obama receiving his Nobel peace prize went viral today, for no particular reason

You know the assignment 👍

Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

Release the Epstein Files.

Unfortunately, no surprise here…

‘Australia’s reworked environmental laws will not include a climate trigger, the federal environment minister has confirmed.’ #ClimateCrisis #Renewables #auspol reneweconomy.com.au/watt-confirm...

The gambling industry is predatory and insidious.

I quit the Parliamentary Sports Club a few weeks ago, when I discovered it had registered as a lobbyist group and was sponsored by the gambling peak body.

The industry will do anything to wield influence on pollies, and hates being called out.

Some of the clients of the lobbying firm the Prime Minister is currently the President of include:

Ampol Australia Petroleum P/L (fossil fuels)

Lion P/L (brewing, alcohol)

Pfizer Australia P/L (pharmaceuticals)

Serco Australia P/L (defence, immigration)

Responsible Wagering Aust (gambling)

.

The Aust Parliament Sports Club (the one that ditched David Pocock) is now formally registered as a lobby group👇🏽

Anthony Albanese is the President of the Aust Parliament Sports Club.

That means the Prime Minister of Australia is currently the president of a lobby group.

Just utterly unbelievable.

A grand jury in Virginia indicted New York Attorney General Letitia James on Thursday. James was charged with one count of bank fraud and one count of making false statements to a financial institution.

Cease fire

Nobel Peace Prize announcement is at 20O0 hrs AEDT. If the orange shit gibbon loses it’s a good reason to celebrate, if it wins the Nobel Committee has been bought/bribed (and the world is truly fucked) #NobelPrize2025 #auspol

God almighty. And THEY are accusing HIM of politicising the Club. FFS.

Trump just said the quiet part out loud: he’s only cutting “Democrat programs.”
So not waste, not fraud just anything that helps people who don’t vote for him. He’s a 34 times convicted criminal felon and unfit to govern!

MAGA “influencer” Nick Sortor was arrested outside of the Portland ICE facility.

Oh the irony.

Gambling regulation in Aus is a national disgrace. The govt has ignored the Murphy Report & repeatedly blocked my bill to hold gambling giants accountable. If they won’t listen to evidence, experts or the crossbench, they should at least listen to the community. #auspol #politas

One tiny smidgen of positive news. #NobelPeacePrize
