Trump’s military excursion, into an abyss The evident fact is that the president is nuts.

How on earth did we get here - how did the US govt allow this to happen. We're all going to be dragged into this. It's already happening, witness Albo's actions. #uspol #Albo

Seven members of Iran's women's football team have sought asylum, ABC understands Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke, who was at the airport ahead of the team's departure, says border force officials made multiple representations to the players before they were due to depart Sydney.

Credit to the govt here-this has been handled well. The article details the whole careful process. Trump will take credit as always but I understand it was in train well before his pushing his views. #asylum #iransoccerteam

I'm sorry but I understood that, though cockroaches may be dumb, they're very hardy - they'll adapt and survive apparently. As you say, we're dumber - we won't adapt or survive I don't think. Not looking good

I wish people would stop calling her 'the firebrand senator'. I know it means a troublemaker or an agitator but I've mostly admired a rousing 'firebrand'. This is not Hanson - she's just an ignorant, narrowminded racist.

Oh "Let them eat liver" doesn't have quite the same snap to it does it?

I agree but when a man says it about a woman it strikes the same tone as being labelled 'emotional' or 'hysterical' or, my favourite, 'she's such a difficult woman.' Makes me want to take a swipe at someone and I'm strictly a pacifist .

Trump’s SOTU Speech Was Bad. The Actual State of Our Union Is Worse Trump’s 108-minute speech broke records for its duration as well as its lies, insufferability, offensiveness, and the danger its contents present for the future of the country.

What’s Behind the Centrists’ Resistance to the “Resistance Liberals”? They’re acknowledging now that the people who called Trump a “fascist” were right. But somehow we’re still not to be trusted.

It is not incidental to Trump’s political project how many of its key figures—including the president himself, Elon Musk, Defense Sec. Pete Hegseth, and RFK Jr.—have had assault allegations made against them

It informs how they behave and how they justify themselves. trib.al/XxQs3S3
