*sigh* “back on track” was right there, and I missed it

surely this should be called maxillomaxxing.

Article seems to skew mandibular; but that’s nowhere near as funny

Gina Rinehart urges government to ‘drill, baby, drill’ and build Israeli-style ‘iron dome’ in northern Australia Billionaire mining magnate reveals her defence and economic blueprint for Australia at News Corp’s bush summit in Townsville

Pauline Hanson uses populist masks to push a pro-monopoly agenda that serves only the elite.

Pauline Hanson is owned by Gina Rinehart. It’s her political agenda Pauline Hanson serves. #auspol.

"When Pauline Hanson said 'there are no good Muslims', the media framed it as 'controversial comments'.

But just imagine if she or any other politicians said 'There are no good Jews'?
Their career would be over'.

But if you say it about Muslims, it's fair game."

AL on media hypocrisy and racism.

Albanese’s real opponent is not Angus Taylor Coalition turmoil has handed Anthony Albanese political space few prime ministers enjoy. Whether he uses it to govern with purpose – or continues to drift – is now the central question.

"If Albanese cannot remake himself over coming months, he’s never going to."

This is what @albomp.bsky.social does - becomes defensive whenever challenged…on pretty much every issue and becoming personal. We need more independents like Pocock in the parliament to hold him and his centrist government accountable. #auspol

Turns out Birmingham & the Big4 banks skipped out on the Capital Gains Tax inquiry, despite being in the building.🙄

Australia Institute Economist @mattgrudnoff.bsky.social gives a clue as to why:
Bcoz the CGT discount pushes up houses prices, banks lend more, & make more money💰 #auspol

US airstrikes on Iran would achieve only more death and terror. As ever, they would have nothing to do with the welfare of the Iranian people - who are already suffering greatly under government tyranny - and everything to do with Donald Trump's need for spectacle and distraction.

We studied primary care in 6 rich countries – it’s under unprecedented strain everywhere

Like other high-income countries, Australia and New Zealand are leaning on GPs to solve increasingly complex health needs – without the necessary investment.

The Silver Emu is back on the agenda!

The thing about former Prince Andrew is that he lost his protector.

Our Epstein conspirators have not lost theirs.

“To see UK police making arrests over allegations relating to Epstein contrasts strongly with the US where, so far, little has happened to further investigate those linked to the disgraced financier.” - @emmashortis.bsky.social

One Nation’s rise has fractured Australia’s right. Thanks, News24! Centre-right parties the world over are struggling to deal with fractures on its far-right fringes. In Australia, a renamed Sky News is sure to stir the pot.

“He’s such a creep, you don’t even know where to start. You stole $140 billion. Give it back, Bessent, or just leave your job. You’re not our Treasury Secretary, you’re a thug to bring down the Iranian government. Come on, you stole the money. You did it illegally. It was a brazen grab for power. Take some responsibility.” Appearing on Breaking Points, world-renowned economist Jeffrey Sachs blasted Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s refusal to return roughly $134 billion collected through Trump’s emergency tariffs, even after the Supreme Court issued a ruling against the measures. Sachs said the tariffs were an illegal power grab that cost U.S. households about $1,000 each, and said Trump’s new attempt to impose 15% global tariffs under a claimed “balance of payments” emergency is also unlawful because no such emergency exists. @esaagar | @krystalball

TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON This cartoon has six panels. A caption at the top says "History, Rhyming." PANEL 1 A close up of someone's hand lying limply on the ground, in sepia tones. CAPTION: August 20, 1965: Civil rights activist Jonathan Daniels put himself between a deputy sheriff and the black teen the deputy was attacking. The deputy shot Daniels to death. PANEL 2 A close up of a gloved hand lying limply on snowy pavement, a cell phone lying nearby. Drawn in blue tones. CAPTION: January 24 2026: Anti-fascist activist Alex Pretti put himself between border protection agents and the woman the agents were attacking. The agents shot Pretti to death. PANEL 3 This panel is divided in two, sepia on the left and blues on the right. On the sepia side, a man inn a suit sneers. On the right side, a man in a border patrol uniform sneers. BOTH (in unison): He was intended to commit a massacre! CAPTION (sepia side): Arthur Gamble: Corrupt prosecutor who threw the case. CAPTION (blue side): Gregory Bovino: Border Patrol Commander. PANEL 4 Another panel divided into sepia and blue sides. On the sepia side is a cheerful middle-aged man in a suit. On the right side are two masked Border Patrol agents. ALL THREE (unison): I was in fear for my life! CAPTION (sepia side): Tom Coleman, Daniels' murderer. CAPTION (blue side): Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez, Pretti's murderers. PANEL 5 On the sepia side, three people with 1960s haircuts are angrily yelling. On the blue side, same thing except with current-day hair and clothes. ALL (unison): If he hadn't put himself where he didn't belong he'd still be alive! Cops have to make split-second judgements! Law! Order! Bark bark bark bark woof! CAPTION: Boot-licking stooges. PANEL 6 In a clearing, surrounded by grass, trees, and shrubs, two men talk to each other. One, wearing a clerical collar, is "Jonathan Daniels, 1939-1965." The other, wearing a winter jacket and baggy jeans, is "Alex Pretti, 1989-2026."

🗣️“We can blame the Israelis for committing genocide in Gaza all we want. But the fact of the matter is, we committed genocide in Gaza.” – Dr. @FerozeSidhwa , an America trauma surgeon who volunteered multiple times in Gaza over the post two years, told the California Democratic Convention Progressive Caucus on Saturday. He told the audience that what he witnessed in Gaza felt like a “prelude to the end of humanity,” and what we’re now experiencing in the United States is a “small fraction of what can happen when the end of humanity comes home.” “Acknowledging what we have done in Gaza and facing the truth will not be easy,” Dr Sidhwa stated. “Facing the truth will reveal that some of the people you thought had normal human values are actually monsters. Good. That’s exactly the point. Let’s figure out who wants to make the world a better place, and then let’s go do it.”

I’m amazed that 41% approve of him

They must never see any news, or leave their house, so I wonder how they were polled

Presumably we mean this momentum...

I think we need to say the obvious -- that the president intends to defy the court, in fact, IS DEFYING the court.

what if i told you, through the power of forensic analysis, we are closer than ever to knowing the exact Far Side cartoon that is making Sting smile in this iconic photo. 🧵 👇
