I fully expect Vile Kyle and Jackie O will have a teary heartfelt on-air reconciliation. This all appears very contrived, esp. the fawning attention from the mainstream media for a couple of nasty radio shock jocks that nobody listens to. #KIISfm #radio 📻

NOEM: I would disagree with the judge

CROCKETT: I'm sure you would, but can you tell me whether or not you have a law degree?

CROCKETT: A law degree

NOEM: No I do no-

CROCKETT: Okay

‘Don’t go to the US – not with Trump in charge’: the UK tourist with a valid visa detained by ICE for six weeks Karen Newton was in America on the trip of a lifetime when she was shackled, transported and held for weeks on end.

Trump a reminder that governments should govern, not police We expect politicians to act within the constraints imposed by that role. With Trump, we have had too much Trump, not enough president.

Iran is an Islamic theocracy because of the US. Iran had a democratic government which the US and UK overthrew to install a brutal pro western dictatorship for oil. The 79 revolution was a direct consequence of this. People pretend the government is anti-US for no reason

I honestly forget they even exist thinking they are just puff but now remember how dangerous puff can be when they let AI write their copy. I shouldn’t be more informed than paid ‘journalists”!

😨 channel 7, Australia news report is straight from Fox News! Massively disrespectful and reminds me why I don’t watch the useless excuse of a ‘news’ channel. We should be ashamed that i as a consumer have taken the time to watch the videos etc @7news.bsky.social #auspol #ausjournalism

The rhetoric of the Trump administration has taken a chilling turn There have been plenty of examples of the Trump administration's contempt for legalities, diplomacy and alliances but this week Trump and his lieutenants went further.

Laura Tingle

“Mark the first week of 2026 as the one in which the often overblown rhetoric of the Trump administration took a chilling turn into threats that have to be seen in the deeply alarming context of its actual actions”

www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

This also applies at home in Oz, especially given the high consumption of US-biased media. #auspol

When it comes to violence against protesters, this administration has a track record of lies It is difficult to take ICE’s claims about Minneapolis seriously when it has already been called out for gross misrepresentations about its encounters with demonstrators.

Brain fart: I am surprised that US states are letting this happen based on the rhetoric you always hear about the right to bear arms. Not that I think or support war/violence is the answer but this does seem to fit the bill.

What is a royal commission? Could one into the Bondi attack create meaningful change? The government is under significant pressure to launch a royal commission into antisemitism. Here’s how these sorts of inquiries work and what they can and can’t do.

Worth a read and definitely reassuring.

Trump and Netanyahu seem to have succeeded in making international law pointless because half the western world let them.
Slow hand clap especially to the US and Australia

We sure do #AlboPM @albomp.bsky.social‼️NO involvement with #DementedDespotDonald & his illegal invasion of #Venezuela to seize their #OIL‼️

Hey @albomp.bsky.social , are we “all the way with DJT”? Because I think we Australians are going to need a little reassurance from you that this is NOT your idea of a safe alliance either, and that being blu-tacked to a lunatic will not end well for us.
Thanks for your consideration.

Where is the condemnation from our prime minister/Labour Party or the Aus opposition?! #auspol.

Labor finds a way to implement Jillian Segal's madcap report — by not implementing it The government's response to the Segal review is to ignore its multiple unlawful recommendations, while taking steps on free speech that previously would have had critics howling with rage.
