Could you have asked for more? Flintlock pistols on the Palisades in Weehawken perhaps, or maybe a real sandbox rather than Truth Social and X, so they could get some nasty grains in each other’s eyes.

Unseemly or delicious? You decide.
I’ve been waiting for an occasion to use that word, “unseemly,” for months…even years.

Cruella van Velden hasn't saved the country billions she's stolen billions from the pockets of women who will now be unable to meet new criteria for pay equity

The irony that she as a MP is in a role where pay equity applies is not lost on this poster

#nzpol The pay equity decision today – just before Mothers Day – takes employment law back decades. It will likely impact the earnings of hundreds of thousands of women, often working in some of the most poorly paid work. It will cost us all in the long-run. A 🧵 www.beehive.govt.nz/release/chan...

It's no wonder he doesn’t give a shit about the damage to the world’s economy his tariffs have done. The only economy Trump cares about is the blue-smoke-and-mirrors illusion of crypto.

Yeah. Canada had a very clear danger to respond to. The US isn’t directly threatening NZ so most Nat voters will buy the line that noboats has to do a shit budget because of global forces, nothing to do with her austerity or other cock ups.
And too many like the racism.

From October 2023 when Grant Robertson tried to warn everyone Nats tax cut claims were bollocks! #NZPol
The National Party has admitted only 3000 households will get the full $250 a fortnight tax cut they have been campaigning on, but has always been clear that is the maximum entitlement. The party's finance spokesperson, Nicola Willis, said she utterly rejected claims they have misled New Zealanders. Labour finance spokesperson Grant Robertson, in a media release on Thursday morning, said only 0.18 percent - or 3000 families - would get the full $252 a fortnight in tax relief. "National have been scamming New Zealanders about their number one policy in this election," he said, warning National's claim an "average-income family with children" would receive $250 a fortnight was "a lie". National defend tax policy after Labour attacks Midday Report 5 October 2023 Queue Willis told Midday Report host Charlotte Cook the 3000 figure was correct, but said National had always been clear that was the maximum amount. "They are a complete beat-up. So, National has been very clear that if New Zealanders want to know what tax relief they are due under our tax plan, it will depend on their individual tax plans and circumstances," she said. "It is wrong to say that it is a scam and it is wrong to say that it is a lie." She said the party's tax relief - as laid out in their tax plan in August - came through a mix of sources. "What we have said - and this is absolutely correct - is that New Zealanders with a family are eligible for up to $250 a fortnight in tax relief under our plan. "So that accounts for around 3000 families, that is why we have said if you want to know how much you're getting under our tax plan, go to National tax calculator." She said she utterly rejected misleading New Zealanders, and did not think people would be surprised to find out they may not get the full $250.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago:

—Pioneering cancer researcher;
—*Arrested* at airport in Boston;
—Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana;
—"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research.

Read it.

New images could change cancer diagnostics, but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them
Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.

David Seymour is such a duplicitous little turd basic numbnuts of a human that he thinks playing childish word games around historical fact is some kind of political genius.

Fuck he's embarrassing.

He has the political nous of a 12yo white private school boy.
