Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.
Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

But it threatens the profits of fossil fuel companies & nations - so these are pouring money into right-wing populism to stop the transition. This seems to me the biggest story in politics.

It's incredible how many of our global issues have been caused by three white men in their 70s clinging to power to avoid prison. π€·π½ββοΈ

This is a GREAT idea.
(stolen from Facebook)
So, Australia.
This Sunday, some are holding an "anti-immigration march."
Preserve our white heritage, they say.
Preserve our white PRIVILEGE, I believe they mean.
Which is WRONG.
DON'T GO, AUSTRALIA.
JUST, DON'T GO.
This feels like a spot of good news

Letβs bring this research to Melbourne.
We have manufacturing capacity and current research facilities for this tech, why not earn a share?

Imagine in the pouring rain, in a crowd this size, before the march began I ran into a colleague I taught with some years ago! We marched together, and enjoyed a meal afterwards. π΅πΈ π

Sorry, I was wrong.
Labor are probably pleased.
He's the gift that keeps on giving.
Nobody's pleased.
He actually thought he'd be in government.
It's in the job description.

Here's a question time from our Parliament.
With an opposition question...
Remember the voting differences here.
1. Voting is compulsory.
2. It's not 1st past the post, it's preferential.
I'm in Melbourne. State of Victoria. And, we see in real time the bad presidential decisions. And the sad way oligarchy is overcoming democracy in your nation.

29.07.2025 03:48 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Two parties in coalition.
One country district-based, the other city.
Yes. Best of all, the right of the party(s) - they are a coalition - believe they need to move further to the right to get elected.
That'll go down with Australian electors like a bucket of cold sick.
Also, Rupert renounced his Australian citizenship. He's now an American. Condolences.
And, no backsies!
The current opposition party in the Australian parliament.
Which suffered defeat in the last election.
Hugh. Large. Enormous defeat.
Ah.
The Climate Change that Bah-naby and his colleagues don't think we need to acknowledge. π¦πΊ
Ah.
What we call in Australia the Liberal/National Party view.
People exploding this false messaging that I voted for a bill + funding that I quite literally voted NO on. The threat environment this morning is scary.
Doesnβt help anyone. Drag me for the position if you disagree but donβt lie. Itβs out of control. Saying I voted for this funding is false.
