This story is absolutely awful. A rapist on bail gets to live at home while his wife operates her family day care business and the gov departments involved don't seem to care. The victim and family deserve much more than this.

Shortly before the shutdown, the USDA moved to scrap the Household Food Security Report, the nation’s primary tool for tracking food insecurity, and in doing so, stripped away the very infrastructure needed to remedy rising hunger in America.
The shutdown will worsen hunger—which the Trump administration just stopped tracking
Millions of women and children are at risk of losing food benefits.

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

Why keep throwing invitations to Trump to insult our representatives? Why legitimise his personal pettiness? It reflects badly on our journalists, when we can see US press (and members of our own) being shut out and demonised. We don’t have to play his game. #insiders

This is likely the largest UN walkout of an Israeli leader in history.
It should serve as a wake-up call for Israelis that Netanyahu is burning Israel's global support to shield himself from his own failures. Israel's fate should not be tied to him nor his extremist allies.
Time to change course.

Everything Labor does from now on to support Palestinian liberation will be BECAUSE of the power of the Palestinians & everyday people who have mobilised against the genocide.
Not because of Labor’s morality or courage.

Chris Bowen needs to front up and explain why he facilitates fossil fuels with his weak Safeguard Mechanism and its 100% offsets. How many coal and gas stations have closed? how many mines refused? #auspol
1. This is something I've been saying for 25 years, but it's hard to get many people to listen. What counts is not the new energy sources you add, but the old ones you retire. Unfortunately it's politically easier to build renewables than to shutter fossil fuels.🧵
