What is the Insurrection Act, and can Trump use it? President has threatened to invoke 19th-century law as a means to control mobilization of national guard troops

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
The nation’s founders feared that giving the president unlimited control over troops would erode civil liberties and the democratic process. Under the constitution, governors generally have the authority to maintain order within state - until Mad King Donald...

Combined with regular complaints — & some very off-putting photos — about the sharp decline in onboard catering and service from offshore call centres, it makes one wonder where CEO Vanessa Hudson spent the $230 million last year to improve customer service — and whether it was anywhere near enough.

The context of the potential criminality of the 6 individuals referred by the Robodebt Royal Commission contributed to Justice Murphy awarding Robodebt victims $1.8B.

Yet more than 4 years after the RC, no single person has been made accountable.

How either RCH CEO Steer or Samuell assessed the alleged moral and psychological injury that could be caused to health professionals who believe they have a duty to speak out about the impacts of war on children is unknown.

Does Jacinta Nampinumty Price not see the irony in this comment coming from her 🤡

#JacintaPriceClownShow

a woman with her face painted like the joker is applying lipstick . Alt: a woman with her face painted like the joker is applying lipstick .

It’s very Trumpian playbook. They love to call out crooks, pedo’s and perverts yet the bulk of the time they are ones being caught out as crooks, pedo’s and perverts.

Just like Jacinta calls out others as a clownl 🤡

Another RWNJ irony moment

News Corp chair ‘social media are true monsters and torment our children’

He doesn’t have a mirror 😊

📚 Did you know? Palestine is home to some of the world's oldest olive trees, some over 2,000 years old. Olive trees symbolize peace, steadfastness, and Palestinian connection to the land. #OliveTrees #PalestinianSymbols #GeneratedWithAI

THIS is what you're defending, justifying and complicit in,
@albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social.

THIS.

How dare you lecture us about Hamas displaying a lack of humanity, in the face of Israel's blatant and constant barbarity and inhumanity. #auspol #GazaGenocide #GazaHolocaust

Nobody hates trees more than coastally adjacent narcissists. Here’s how we should deal with them

Disgraceful letting Ryan Milgate put the boot into the BOM without Ali Moore on 774 ABC stating how many times they DO get it right. It's an incredibly complex task to predict the weather, especially rainfall, reliably. A little more homework and respect wouldn't go astray, Ali.

if only @senatorwong.bsky.social had any shred of credibility left after 24 months of 'grave concern' over the livestreamed genocide of Palestinians

meanwhile, PM @albomp.bsky.social👇

What a disgrace @senatorwong.bsky.social is. This country is so utterly cooked.

Alice Springs boy's tragic house fire death yields public housing audit The death of a three-year-old boy in an Alice Springs house fire has led to an electrical audit of Northern Territory public housing, which uncovered widespread issues affecting hundreds of homes, an ...

the treaty that does not fix anything

a previous inquest into the 2005 death of a seven-year-old girl in Tennant Creek public housing had recommended the "establishment of a database to record accidents and incidents, as well as fires" but "for reasons unknown, that database was not maintained"

The fact Wong thinks she can just snark her way out of this is a sign of how normalised the relationships between politicians and lobbyists have become.

Like, of course the PM shouldn't be president of a registered lobby group that sells corporate members access to politicians? No shit??

Why? This business has no strategic value to Australia! It is part of the #ClimateCatastrophe now actively supported by our feral #MPs. #auspol

13 years….. is that all ??

Speaker Mike Johnson’s press conference was cut off the air by MSNBC, after he once again lied about Obamacare subsidies. Host Ana set the record straight: “Just to make sure we don’t offer misleading information ... There is no access for undocumented immigrants to get Obamacare....”

I've attended many motor vehicle accidents. Last NOV we got paged to a car which had hit a tree at high speed. Completely on fire, incl the battery pack & internal combustion engine.
There is a lot of anti renewables hype out there. Most of it is fear mongering crap. We know how to deal with this.

"Among the most disturbing political phenomena of our times is the emergence in the newly created state of Israel of the “Freedom Party” (Tnuat Haherut), a political party closely akin in its organization, methods, political philosophy and social appeal to the Nazi and Fascist parties."

When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.

The Liberal Party’s collapse and the Ley–Hastie syndrome The problems for the Liberal Party are going to get worse before they dissipate, but there issues the Labor government needs to be wary of in the splintering conservative base.

To paraphrase Bob Hawke:
“If the answer is Andrew Hastie it must have been a bloody stupid question.”
Hastie is the latest chapter in the demise of the Liberal Party, and it’s painful to watch. Or maybe not. Analysis from New Politics. @dlew919.bsky.social #AUSPOL

I wouldn’t advise anyone in Portland to walk your dog near this building.

Mike Johnson ignores a question about when he'll swear in Rep.-elect Grijalva and walks away

I want the lnp to go outside and repeat the acusations they've accused Anika Wells of. Which included childishly. Name calling.
