Pull yourself up by your boot straps lady and live within your means, isn’t that the Republican mantra?

(AP) — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had an internet connection that bypassed the Pentagon’s security protocols set up in his office to use the Signal messaging app on a personal computer, two people familiar with the line told The Associated Press.

Maybe if we promise not to dunk on Trump if he fires Hegseth then he will do it. Because that really is the problem. He’s putting his narcissism & fragile ego above the national security of this country, & there isn’t a single Republican in Congress with the integrity to say it.

Trump has no idea how to deal with Putin on war and no idea how to deal with Xi on trade. Total clown show.

The debate about Māori and police we should be having OPINION: After a week of sensationalised faux outrage, Tamatha Paul is right to stand by her comments.

"That Paul’s reasonable comments received widespread critical media coverage for over a week is a concerning reaffirmation of how working-class Māori women expressing their lived realities is seen as scandalous and is met with hostility and vilification."

So pleased about this for Peeni Henare. But he should never have been censured. Nor the others #nzpol #ToitūTeTiriti

Went for a wee hikoi with a fellow neurospicey hoa today and they lost their car keys, which were handed in to a local cafe, and I just got a call from the bank to say my debit cards been handed in at the counter.

It's astonishing that Hipkins, after seeing the hīkoi etc etc, is still ignorant enough to think that being a racist dickhead is the way to win hearts and minds.

New Zealand, racist as fuck.

Confronted with dismal Right Wing governments, it’s easy to feel powerless. But mass popular movements can beat them – especially when backed by active support from workers & #unions. We’ve done it in Aotearoa many times before #nzpol #landback #toitūtetiriti #socialism

It is vile harassment and I don’t accept that Foodstuffs, Auror or the police don’t know who leaked the video, a cover up

100% harassment at this point.
LEAVE HER ALONE!
The political stench you journos can detect, is not from this witch hunt of a private citizen (former MP) it’s the putrid stench coming from the ACT PARTY. Literally our Government RIGHT NOW. #nzpol #ToitūTeTiriti #Aotearoa #nz

Cartoon. Title: Mr Seymour came to work on Wednesday and checked his Treaty Principles Inbox. The image shows a man at a computer being knocked back by a deluge of mail pouring out of his computer. The mail has NO! written on each piece, and one has YES. The man is saying, “That’s a ‘maybe’ then …”

What’s next? Politicizing a cyclone? An earthquake? A tornado? I haven’t been watching the news but my mom wanted to watch the view and I’m disgusted to hear what the clown car is spouting. Instead of coming together to help people they’re seeking to make people look bad and make people fight
