Boeing says it is donating $1 million to Trump presidential inaugural fund Boeing is donating $1 million to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration, a spokesperson for the U.S. planemaker said on Thursday.

I guess Boeing is regretting this

The third term talk disappeared fast. So did #SignalGate

Why?

Because today’s outrage is β€œLiberation Day” tariffs.

Tomorrow’s will be something even worse.

This is the game:

🚫 Normalize.
➑️ Distract.
πŸ” Repeat.

The Coalition’s attack on the climate authority is a cynical attempt to put ideology over facts – it must be called out | Kylea Tink Attempts to discredit the Climate Change Authority risk undermining public trust in both politicians and our government Taking a wrecking ball to science and public institutions might sound distinctly Trumpian, but as the Climate Change Authority…

Trump is just Temu Hans Gruber. He terrorizes under the guise of β€˜freedom’ fighter but the reality is he’s just a cheap, petty criminal, deliberately creating horrific, globally catastrophic distractions & willing to sacrifice people’s lives/livelihoods because he's driven purely by greed and anger.

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on β€œDEI” with zero evidence.

He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials.

It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

When Peter Dutton and the Coalition use the Jewish community as political footballs it makes all of us less safe | Sarah Schwartz They have created an imaginary caricature of Jewish people to push their political agenda

My article in @theguardian.com about how Peter Dutton uses the Jewish community as political footballs to spread bigotry, which makes us all less safe.

Murdoch, you can’t stop me from calling out Dutton and the LNP for fueling racism!

Hi @benusa.bsky.social - question from an Aussie observer. Are US journalists actually asking the outraged MAGA politicians and their supporters to explain why they think he comments are so outrageous and to justify why?

My understanding of this is that if you were following POTUS (Biden) and VP (Harris) White House accounts they've automatically switched to the new team. I was and have now unfollowed because they are cretins unworthy of my attention - or yours.

The amount of people who will look you in the eye and say they "would do anything to protect their children" but then vote for political parties who are actively destroying the environment and their children's futures...

All those books about the declines and falls of empires that I never read.... do they cover how dumb things were? I was unprepared for how dumb things were going to get.
