It makes sense once you realize that every accusation is a confession.

When your number is up.

Trump is Getting Desperate We're in an extremely dangerous moment

Last week’s big non-Epstein news was Friday’s very bad jobs report and Donald Trump’s immediate reaction — which was not to rethink his policies but to fire the head of the Bureau of Labor Statisti...

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) announced today that it will begin an orderly wind-down of its operations following the passage of a federal rescissions package and the release of the Senate Appropriations Committee’s FY 2026 Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies (Labor-H) appropriations bill, which excludes funding for CPB for the first time in more than five decades. For nearly 60 years, CPB has carried out its Congressional mission to build and sustain a trusted public media system that informs, educates, and serves communities across the country. Through partnerships with local stations and producers, CPB has supported educational content, locally relevant journalism, emergency communications, cultural programming, and essential services for Americans in every community. “Despite the extraordinary efforts of millions of Americans who called, wrote, and petitioned Congress to preserve federal funding for CPB, we now face the difficult reality of closing our operations,” said CPB President and CEO Patricia Harrison. “CPB remains committed to fulfilling its fiduciary responsibilities and supporting our partners through this transition with transparency and care.”

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting is shutting down operations after loss of federal funding:

Greens must blow AUKUS out of the water - THE POLITICS With an 'opposition' that's as useful as deckhands on a submarine, it's up to David Shoebridge and co to fight the good fight against a deal that's sinking fast.

"Where are Australia’s billions going? ...We are entitled to wonder how it is that four years on, the rules of engagement between the US and Australia might be upended with a view to serving American interests first."

George Nader is a man that has child abuse, child pornography charges dating back to 1985. He was convicted in the 1990’s for transporting child pornography. He was sentenced in 2003 for sexually abusing 10 boys. He pleaded guilty in early 2020 to flying a 14-year-old boy from Europe to the US

My disgust at the inaction of @albomp.bsky.social and @senatorwong.bsky.social has now turned to anger 🤬 They mull over whether they will recognise Palestine, while supplying lethal weapons components to Israel, as Israel's engineered mass starvation of Gazans becomes irreversible 🤬😪

Congratulations to Maritime Union of Australia First Nations Rank and File members for making their voice heard on AUKUS and nuclear weapons. Full motion in 🧵

She supports the indefensible! Israel is a terrorist state. It is not Anti-semitism we need to be concerned about, it is the fact that Australia has failed to act appropriately against Israel all this time allowing Israeli supporters to push propaganda.

Oh, you mean the lady whose hubby donated $50k from the 'family trust' to right-wing 'think tank' Advance that all the MSM missed and it took @theklaxon.bsky.social to expose it?

She's busy today, having a raw onion sanga with Tony 'Toned Abs' Abbott at an Advance bbq.

Funny how some groups get their very own voice to parliament without having to bother with annoying things like submitting themselves to the court of public opinion. It turns out you just need to be rich AF

Dear Men,

Every day that women do not burn it ALL down is a bloody miracle.

We have watched 2 brilliant women get passed over for the job by a serial rapist with COUNTLESS victims.

He had ZERO qualifications.

Please speak out every day.
Call your reps.
Call out BS around you.

Her appointment was a very bad idea. Just how bad is now obvious. Yet she is still on the public purse.

Trump’s EPA wants to roll back standards regulating pollutants from burning fossil fuels, like car exhaust and methane.

Meanwhile, 17 staffers in his White House own up to $2.2 million of stock in Big Oil companies.

They’re getting rich off polluting the planet.

Long felt the election was fishy.

BREAKING | 🇺🇳

Several UN officials threaten to resign after internal emails exposed how top leadership coordinated with Israeli diplomats to soften war crime language in official reports.
One staffer: “We’ve become a PR agency for genocide.”

Victorian Labor party members to push for ‘immediate’ federal recognition of a Palestinian state Exclusive: Labor Friends of Palestine to move three ‘urgency resolutions’ at weekend conference, but PM maintains no immediate plans for the move

Your pressure is making this happen.

A photo of Australia's taxpayer funded antisemitism envoy, Jillian Segal, dressed in pearls, scarf and suit sitting in a tv studio. Superimposed over her expensive jacket is the image of a starving child in Gaza taken from an Al Jezeera report on YouTube (17,000 children in Gaza severely malnourished as starvation deaths rise, 22.7.2025)

It is an obscenity that this woman sits in judgment over Australians while she defends the perpetrators of this atrocity.

Palestinians deliberately starved of food by the Israeli govt while this taxpayer funded, multi-millionaire sits in her govt office telling us what we should think about it.

Would be great to have access to the Epstein files. But let’s not forget the files are a secondary source of information about Epstein’s paedophile ring. There are plenty of primary sources available - the women who were Epstein and his associate’s victims. Why don’t we just listen AND BELIEVE them?

Australia has spoken

A silly question maybe, but if lifting bans on US beef is scientifically based, why now? Was there some recent scientific breakthrough? 🤔🤣

It was great of Ronni to expose it, and push it to media outlets as she did. I’m pretty sure it would have had no traction without that 👏

That said, Louise Milligan - with Four Corners backing her - have the resources and the legal backing to push it harder, to wider reach.

I’m glad they did 👏👍

On July 2, the Australia Institute wrote to Environment Minister Murray Watt, asking he make public the conditions imposed on the extension of Woodside’s North West Shelf.

We have not received a response.

A criminal waste of money. Grow a spine.

Australia quietly pays US another $800 million for AUKUS despite review The second payment, made in the second quarter of this year, takes Australia’s contribution to the US industrial base to $1.6 billion with no guarantee AUKUS will continue.

$800m here, $800m there … pretty soon you’re talking about real money! www.smh.com.au/world/north-...
