Ossoff: "How does American politics really work? It's coin operated. Money goes in, favors come out. It's been running on secret money, corporate money, billionaire money ... all of this gave rise to a depraved president who exploits this rot to empower and enrich himself"

In trying to abide by normal rules of journalistic engagement, journalists often normalise Donald Trump. Mea culpa, there were times I did it myself as a BBC correspondent. There is an in-built institutional disposition to normalise the abnormal.

A useful way to think about Stephen Miller is that he’s a racist piece of shit.

100% Marty. 🇦🇺 💙🤍💙

Appearance on Gogglebox - the TV screen, not the couch - a major career breakthrough. Really nowhere left to go after this.

I doubt Pope Leo XIV will lose any sleep over this, before he begins his pilgrimage to Africa tomorrow. But the rest of us should. Because it is unhinged, uncharitable and unchristian. Is there no bottom to this moral squalor?

Congratulations @magyarpeterMP on your historic victory in Hungary’s elections. I look forward to working closely with you, including on the Australia-EU Free Trade Agreement and Australia-EU Security and Defence Partnership 🇦🇺🇭🇺

The greatest Streisand effect in Australian history

Albo did not arrest BRS. The AFP & OSI conducted an investigation set up by the Morrison govt.He is not a test case or a political prisoner. He is the second to be charged as a result of 53 investigations, some continuing. It did not cost $300m to go after him.

@PeterOB24979769 You can support the ADF, as I do, and at the same time not support BRS. 21 men from his unit spoke out with courage. If you can’t see the difference it makes you a bigger fuckwit than you already are

@DomCometti @PopsieWagga1 There's also the small factual matter of Albo NOT arresting anyone. He was arrested and charged by the AFP. He will be prosecuted in a court of law. It is not a government matter. RWNJ"s are truly the dumbest and stupidest of the stupid. #auspol

Let me say something every Republican needs to hear right now. Trump does not care if you lose. He does not care about your career, your district, your donors, or your family. Trump cares about three things. Money. Attention. Self-aggrandizement. That’s the complete list. And the idea that Trump is going to help Republicans win in 2028 is a bunch of malarkey. You want to know who Trump actually wants as his successor? Gavin Newsom. The narcissistic nihilistic logic is this: you were nothing before I got here and when I leave, you’ll be nothing again. That’s the supreme narcissist’s final move. A Democrat winning in 2028 proves his point perfectly. Don Jr. has already said they want to be the richest family in the world before they leave the presidency. God only knows what they’re doing to get there. So if you’re a Republican still betting your future on this man’s loyalty — understand one thing clearly. There is no loyalty. There is only the transaction. And you’re not the one getting paid.

The Liberal Party is a threat to our national security It is reprehensible that Angus “sow seeds of doubt and fear” Taylor would instruct his MPs to “create doubt about fuel supply” A man so prepared to create panic for political gain should be kept away from political power

Murray Watt also had “breaking” news — the LNP & One Nation have, for the first time, cut the nonsense & agreed to vote for higher wages😳 “Supporting millions of workers & backing the unions…” “Ohhh… hang on, I’ve just checked the date of this doc. It’s April 1st.”💥 #auspol

Amen

One Nation doesn't want to destroy the Liberal Party - they want to destroy the Labor Party. So it's ironic in SA that Labor have extended their lead, and the LIbs had their worst result ever. Remember, Hanson was a Liberal Party member, until the party booted her. #insiders

One Nation's best electoral performance in decades was assisted by the Liberal Party once again directing preferences to the far-right party over Labor, reports Karen Barlow. satpa.pe/vgNw9to
