The President called for the murder of Congressional Democrats.

Congressional Democrats should call for his immediate removal or resignation.

Congressional Republicans should condemn his statements and call for him to recant them.

It's the very least they should be doing!

The desert never looked so green. It’s all thanks to the recent rains. Won’t last, but it’s nice for now (except for the mosquitoes…but they’ll increase the gecko and bat population, so still a win).

The Geiers were famous for using Lupron (a medical castration drug) on autistic boys to “ take the wolf out” as they put it in a long -vanished article that used to be on the NYT website. Vile and evil men.
The study in question was conducted by anti-vaxxers David Geier, who Kennedy hired to study vaccines and autism, and his father, Mark.

Neither one has a medical license. Mark is a former physician but his son, David, is not.

Both were disciplined for practicing medicine without a license in MD.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

This by @skyelark.bsky.social was such a brilliant slaughtering of the LNP’s $9tn claim. Ley won’t even say the number anymore #ThePoint

Will Net Zero cost $9 trillion to Australia?
As the Nationals abandon their commitment to achieving net zero by 2050, leader David Littleproud has cited a stunning $9 trillion dollar price tag on the policy as a key reason for the move.

This piece nicely encapsulates why independent journalism is increasingly trusted above mainstream.

Skye Predavec accurately describes the $9 trillion claim as "gross misrepresentation".

The take from most mainstream journos?:

The mining lobby is weak right now.

Perfect time for strong env laws, @albomp.bsky.social

Last week the Minerals Council and gas lobby literally threw a party and no one (important) turned up.

My piece on it for @thenewdaily.bsky.social

It's the perfect time for the government to defy the mining lobbies
Long-gone are the days when the mining industry could claim to have the power to topple prime ministers and governments.

Iron Ore company idea are really quite shitty with gas companies pretending they are “mining so you can’t touch us”
This conference was such a fizzer that the CEO of the Minerals Council didn't even turn up, sending her deputy instead.

The reason for this is probably that iron ore companies that do pay tax are shitty that the tax-shy coal and gas miners are making them look bad.

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.

Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.
