Angus Taylor tells Sky After Dark viewers it was a “mistake” for any Libs to distance themselves from Trump & MAGA at the 2025 election. “You won’t see me doing it!” Angus wants this to stay in the late-night Sky vault. Please share so mainstream Aussies also find out. #auspol

Sorry @JoshFrydenberg I’m not going to stop protesting about Israel committing genocide on innocent women and children. I never protested about anyone being Jewish only that Israel is committing war crimes.

Bruce Springsteen on Trump: “I couldn't care less what he thinks about me. He's the living personification of what the 25th Amendment and impeachment were for. If Congress had any guts, he'd be consigned to the trash heap of history." RETWEET if you stand with @Springsteen!

What Linda Reynolds is doing to Higgins & Sharaz is not normal. She’s a dysfunctional narcissist, abusing the legal system to heal her imaginary wounds. She’ll never stop because it will never work.

Older women and #homelessness $400 pw for a one bedroom “affordable housing” apartment (provided by a charity) in Bondi junction- this is what a 70 yo woman is paying in rent. She’s on the single age pension. She couch surfed for 3 years before getting this place. #nswpol

Well done Antoinette for keeping your dignity while being vilified unjustly You have done the ABC a great service in reminding it that bringing news to air and providing fairness to its employees are implicit responsibilities I know the personal cost was immense ❤️

The 20-second barrier in the 200m is one of the defining marks of world-class sprinting – a threshold that few ever cross. Now for the first time in history and in all conditions, an Australian has done it. Take a bow, Gout Gout! ⚡️💨 "I felt literally free. I had 80-metres left to go, and I thought, let’s just send it. And only from then did I believe I had a chance of going sub." MORE: bit.ly/GoutGout-Sub-QLDChamp… 📷: @caseysims_ / @OceaniaAths #AthleticsNation

Donald Trump has called for MSNBC Host Rachel Maddow to resign due to her critical coverage of the administration. He continues to try and attack the free press - but we won’t let him win. RETWEET if you stand with @Maddow against Trump!

Who thinks that Kamala Harris would've not only been a much better president than Donald Trump but a far more patriotic, saner, rational, normal, and healthier president as well? ✋️

... and be ambassadors for true, not weaponised, Christianity. For far too long, the religious right has been allowed to redefine Christianity, taking out the troublesome bits like kindness, mercy, tolerance & forgiveness. And that has to be stopped.

Good for them. I'm very glad that they stood up, not just for Bishop Budde, but also for the true meaning of Christianity. For far too long, religious right wingers who wouldn't know real Christianity if it walked up to them & bit then on rhe nose. I hope others will stand up ..
