Zack’s no stranger to right-wing attacks - and if you know him, you’ll know he won’t back down

He meets them head-on and turns them into fuel for hope and humanity

Treasurer announces rework of stalled superannuation tax increase plan Treasurer Jim Chalmers announces the federal government's stalled superannuation tax increases will be reworked after criticism over the plan.

They are so pathetic. There isn't a business lobby in existence they can't cave to.

I feel like today is a good day to remind everyone that just last year Barnaby Joyce called on a crowd of cookers to say β€œgoodbye” to 3 Labor MPs inc the PM by getting ready to β€œload that magazine” & think of a β€œbullet” when casting their vote.
And received no penalty or censure.

a hand-drawn chart showing renewable energy griwing but coal output remaining stagnat for the past three entire years because demand itself has been growing oddly fast

this is a nice rendering by @nickevershed.bsky.social but, er, it definitely shows coal power output remaining persistently high even as renewable energy grows, which feels like a problem

...

Even a high school student knows it's bad science to "make" the proof" to support a claim rather than making claims based on the evidence.

Opinion | Jon Favreau on Where the Democrats Went Right

Literally not even once did @jonfavs.bsky.social or @ezraklein.bsky.social talk here about how politics is entirely driven by money and maybe this is why people hate it.
