Important stuff here from @davidkurtz.bsky.social. Trump isn’t a normal president getting upended by business cycles and trends outside his control. All the challenges/crises facing the US economy today are unequivocally the results of Trumps actions talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

Israel Passes Law to Hang Palestinians Convicted of Deadly Attacks

Israel's legislators chose dispassionately to turn their Apartheid State, formally, into a Genocidal State. Not only is Israel a state formally demoting Palestinians to second class status but also one free to hang them, and only them, legally. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/30/w... x.com/yanisvaroufa...

What Did Republicans Expect? Republicans privately fret...but they empowered Trump

'What did Republicans think would happen when they fully empowered a delusional narcissist, one who is so clearly ignorant of government and keen to pursue his own wealth and power, the country be damned?' open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Just heard ABC journalist Mel Clarke say:

"Australia's dealings with the Trump administration are relying heavily on an increasingly close relationship between our defence minister Richard Marles and US defence secretary Pete Hegseth."

We're fucked. #AUKUS #auspol

Painful as it is, the rate rise was the easy part. Trump has turned economic policy into a lottery While the RBA's decision to lift interest rates was all about inflation before the Iranian war started, its task from here on is immensely difficult. There's no rulebook for economic decisions in an e...

Trump’s ego-trip war has collided with economic reality but he can’t undo the damage | Rafael Behr The US president’s doctrine of lawless military adventures harms American interests and boosts Vladimir Putin, says Guardian columnist Rafael Behr

To define Britain’s national interest as loyalty to the White House administration is absurd when the US’s own national interest would most be served by regime change in Washington'
www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Best thing I've read all day. Applies exactly to Australia as well.

'Making Trump feel great is the undoing of American greatness. In arrogating power to himself, the president undermines the foundations of his country’s strength in the world and damages its allies.

I don't see how it's a surprise that Tony Blair cannot admit to having made mistakes in choosing to join in the invasion of Iraq back in 2003.

Tim Wilson is the Jason Falinski of Josh Frydenbergs

Angus Taylor unveils Coalition frontbench with Tim Wilson as shadow treasurer and Nationals returned to fold Liberal leader also promotes Jacinta Nampijinpa Price and Andrew Hastie to shadow cabinet

Nobody: Tim Wilson, please
Liberals: Tim Wilson!

Tony Barry just called Angus 'politically astute' so my hand immediately went to the remote and pressed the off button.

Tim Wilson as Shadow Treasurer is the best news I've heard all day. He's an extraordinary Australian and an extraordinary human being. These are exactly the qualities he needs to hold Jim Chalmers to account
