#AusPol The May budget will be this government’s fifth. The first couple were dominated by fixing some of the issues left by the previous administration – such as its failure to allocate money to defence veterans – while also building on its own agenda. www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...
More rate hikes are on the way unless Chalmers finds savings in May
The May budget now shapes as an enormous test for Treasurer Jim Chalmers and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.

Anyone else getting bombarded with ads for tourism in America while you're watching news footage of ICE shooting innocent people on YouTube? I don't think that's particularly effective targeted advertising

Someone said protests don’t belong in church and it took every ounce of self-censure within me not to say “Deborah you are literally a Protestant.”

I assume they think Luther was nailing Bed, Bath, & Beyond coupons to the door.

I see very little difference btwn Trump’s ICE and Hitler’s Brownshirts. America has tolerated two executions, mass deportations and disappearances so far which is meant to test the waters for outright death squads.

This week, Trump will bomb someone, impose a ridiculous tariff, make some crazy announcements - do anything he can to divert attention away from this outrage. He wants the public to move on and forget this as so many have done with his past crimes and transgressions. Don’t let him.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.
Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.
