Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

This case is a test of the integrity of SCOTUS. If America’s highest court carves out an exception for the tariffs, the major-questions doctrine will seem to apply only to the power wielded by Democrats. That would further undermine the integrity of the court. And it's already teetering.
America’s Supreme Court should strike down Donald Trump’s tariffs

As Frida points out, the obtuse response of Australia's PM to a growing wave of virulent antisemitism over recent months has been chilling. But the heroic acts of this man, amidst the horror, were a reminder of our common humanity.

This lawless abuse needs to stop. That includes Congress demanding the end to masked agents. Every Republican is complicit.
Masked men wearing ICE vests—but who refused to present a warrant or identify themselves—roped off a construction site, trapping two men on a roof for hours in subzero temps. Protesters gathered. Masked men eventually left, and one man on the roof was taken away by ambulance kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

This is getting lost: For weeks Trump officials had the option to remove Abrego Garcia to Costa Rica, but refused to do so. Instead they kept trying to send him somewhere more dangerous. Costa Rica wasn't cruel and dehumanizing enough.
This is deeply sick conduct.

tRump talks about Somalis stealing billions via fraud; however, what he doesn't mention is that the ring leader was a White woman named Aimee Bock.
He also doesn't mention Senator Rick Scott, whose former company committed fraud, also in the billions. Oh, that's right. He's not Black. 🙄

Look at that big blue curtain at Trump's supposedly massive rally in Pennsylvania.
Now look up at the ceiling.
Trump is in an immense hotel ballroom.
They used the curtain to hide the part they couldn’t find a big enough crowd to fill.
You can see the lights and ceiling beams going back into it

This entire last year of Trump's "peace" talks have been a waste of time. The Russians have finally offered the Trump family enough money and Trump will continue pressuring Ukraine to surrender so Trump can get paid.
