What was achieved? What concessions were won? What reconciliation occurred?

Senators Cortez Masto, Durbin, Fetterman, Hassan, Kaine, King, Rosen, Schumer, Shaheen?

Are they serious, ‘Under the deal being discussed, the US Senate would agree to hold a separate vote later on, to extend Healthcare subsidies’.

My @smh @theage cartoon
Two frames.1: Background lists “undermining the judiciary; ignoring due process; defying the constitution; seeking retribution against political enemies; inciting mob violence; punishing (dissent); under(mining free press); extra-(judicial killing); mass (deportations); param(ilitary crackdowns); cult of (personality); militaristic symbols; purging minorities; rewrit(ing/eras)ing history; state(propa(ganda)”. Commentator in cardigan with patched elbows and reading glasses says, “To call Trump fascist would be a wild exaggeration *snort*” 2: Back-ground lists “free childcare; free buses; rent freezes; affordable housing; city-owned grocery stores; taxing billionaires; boost minimum wages”. Same commentator throws hands in air, glasses fly, says, “AAAAK!! MAMDANI’S A COMMUNIST!”

Great analysis from the Grattan Institute regarding insufficient numbers of new homes in the 5-20km radius from Australian state capitals.

Planning constraints (density & height) and pre-occupancy apparently to blame.
