John Howard brought in a tax policy that delivers 59% of the benefit to the richest 1%.

It truly is time to ditch the Capital Gains Tax 50% discount

It gives me great satisfaction to know that Donald Trump is always miserable.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Maybe Penny Wong could ponder whether someone associated with a genocidal regime is the appropriate person to come along to mourn a mass murder.

The reason for a person coming do not erase who that person is

read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000

Walz said the most striking thing about talking to Trump, is he didn't seem to discern the difference between what he's doing in Minneapolis Vs. Venezuela. Such a little Putin wannabe. It should be clear, no state is safe from military action, by this f'n Pedo-🀑.

We should pay more attention to what people are saying behind the scenes, and Frumpy’s earshot. Especially when they deny it to avoid his demented wrath.

Every right wing nut job take down of people like Alex Pretti always involves making them look even better.

Oh wait, you mean Alex *really* hated ICE? Champion!

Oh wait, Ahmed Al Ahmed also told Sky News to go f*ck itself? Even better!!

If Lyon and Ellis are good to go, shutting down UPL so he can be good to go for the Olympics would be the stand up thing to do. And not at all anything to do with the General Manager's national allegiance πŸ˜…

The Challenger shuttle disaster that killed 7 crew members was 40 years ago. What happened and how they're being remembered. The diverse 7-member crew included a teacher who was going to teach lessons from space.

Forty years ago, today, the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded in mid air after being launched, killing all 7 crew members; one was a school teacher. It was a sad day for space travel & history.

Not just any journalist, she won the goddamn Triple Crown of broadcast journalism (an Emmy, a Peabody, and a Murrow) in 2024 for her reporting on Gaza.

This is textbook censorship of the highest degree

God this is so stupid. This isn't a shift in her power or any shite about her public image.

It was a bribe by Bezos dressed up as a film fluffing her.
