AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

The felon president has blood on his hands. He put winning the election before saving lives. No wonder he didn't get Nobel peace prize.

It’s time that Russia’s malign influence on British politics was properly investigated.

Agree? Add your name 👇🏻
It’s time for a REAL Russia report
Putin’s fingerprints are all over our politics. It’s time to prove it.

Are we still listening to Canavan - is he setting the pace and the vibe in our body politic?

Because voters continue to flip flop between Labor and the LNP IPA they leave behind the rubbish, the detritus from electorates that remain sheltered, gaslit and stuck with even lower expectations

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

More than half of ALL government shut down days in the history of America have come under just one president.

Simply put, the man is a terrible leader.

Why Tony Blair governing Gaza would result in more war crimes
Soldiers who served under his command in Iraq got away with sexually assaulting prisoners, in scenes similar to Israel’s torture of Palestinians.
