News organisations need to be unflinching in their use of strong language to describe Trump. Too often we have normalised the abnormal. Mea culpa. I did it myself at the BBC and often came up against institutional timidity. My weekend read. open.substack.com/pub/historynev…

This is quite simply, a brilliant article written by a first rate journalist about the scourge of our times - journalists+editors+institutions normalising the totally abnormal Every ABC #Insiders member should be forced to listen to it on rotation in a darkened room for 3 days .

Frickin Trump and his bloody war. Look what it's done to tomato prices 🍅 !!! 🤬 ps. check the notice

absolutely hilarious how many people are so genuinely convinced that albo was going to announce that australia is going to war in iran. just full on fanfiction being written on the timeline.

Prolonged war in Iran could tip the global economy into recession share.google/05EPToXUfORIDw…

🚨HOLY SMOKES: Reporter to Starmer: “Trump says the US won’t back the UK anymore. How seriously do you take that threat?” Starmer: “It won’t change my position. I serve the British national interest. Whatever the noise.” Whatever the noise. Trump is an international embarrassment.

Starmer just told Trump: You can mock me all you want, but I'm not sending British kids to die for your losing war.

Of note: a new UK poll published today shows that Starmer's approval rating has increased by 26 percent because of his refusal to let the UK join the war.

@Amockx2022 That’s not a ‘roast’—that’s leadership. Keir Starmer is making it clear that United Kingdom policy won’t be dictated by social media pressure or foreign politics.”💥

BREAKING : UK 🇬🇧 Prime Minister brutally roasted Trump and exposed him Journalist : Trump is mocking you on social media when you didn't support him Starmer : "I am not going to come under pressure he is trying to build against me" 🔥 "I am the British Prime Minister and i will do what's best in our interest rather than getting dragged into such wars"

The latest Economist cover says it all.

Regime change is now more urgent than ever to end this Iran war. The world can no longer tolerate a tyrannical, fanatically theocratic, deceitful kleptocracy wreaking havoc on civilised nations. Trump and his war-mongering gang of liars and sycophants must go.

Reporter: There is something about James Talarico that is sending Christian nationalists and MAGA allies into a total spiral. Ever since he won the primary, they’ve been increasingly obsessed with him, rambling about the Democratic star on their podcasts and on their social media. It seems to be because Talarico does something that very few Democrats do — he speaks openly and unapologetically about how his Christian faith informs his moral and political views on everything from the treatment of immigrants to the war with Iran.

Left: Christian faith leaders praying with President Trump Right: Pope Leo on Palm Sunday, "Jesus does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, he rejects then, saying: Even though you make many prayers I will not listen, your hands are full of blood"

Nice to have mum come along to Adelaide last week for my keynote address at the KWY conference - good to get a professional shot of us too. My mum wasn’t even a citizen of her own country when she was born. In 1962 she had to go to court to obtain citizenship-and had to renounce her culture for it. She still managed to close the gap for all five of her children in one generation. “Strong women raise strong women” ♥️

@CraigHill01 @k7n3s Keep voting @OneNationAus LAST Australia

A small YouTuber made a video titled ‘MrBeast is Boring Now’ In 2 days of the video being up, MrBeast wrote this comment The biggest YouTuber in the world, and he’s down to brainstorm with a YouTuber who just hit 1K Plus they already hopped on calls together Love to see it

To anyone who voted for One Nation. You are out of step with Australian values. Australia is better than One Nation.

I really admire One Nation supporters. They don't just remain quiet and let people think they're idiots. They speak up and let people know beyond any doubt.

If you're wondering how it is that One Nation got the second highest first preference vote in SA (21%), but still didn't win a single seat, it's because the other 79% of voters put them as LAST preference. It's impossible to win without those second, third or fourth preferences.
