Sending strength to Joe Biden as he begins radiation and hormone therapy for prostate cancer. Few people have given more of themselves in service to this country. Wishing him comfort and healing surrounded by family and love.

This violence and assassination was carried out AGAIN by a MAGA follower. This is absolutely disgusting.

Whatever the revolution delivers to Bondi’s front door, she will deserve it.

Bondi: "We've been living through a horrific cycle of political violence in this country ... night after night antifa wrecks havoc on the streets of our cities. In Minnesota, a gunman murdered a state lawmaker and her husband."

Hebrew-language Israeli media reports say there is a “secret clause” buried in the Gaza ceasefire agreement that would allow Israel to resume the war. Palestinians worry this is the pretext Netanyahu ...

Not possible to give #NobelPeacePrize to "leader' who establishes a Department of War then sends troops into cities to attack his own people. #Trump was never even rough possibility to be awarded the Prize.

I won’t be the least surprised if Trump gets the Nobel Peace prize next year - if the hostages return and peace holds.
Mind you, Netanyahu will try as hard as he can to restart the conflict before the election in Israel

Well the Liberals need to find more women like Melissa McIntosh if they want to convince voters they should, one day, get back into power.

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.

Why the delay?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

A ceasefire in Gaza is good. Humanitarian aid of food, water and medical supplies to end the Israeli-made famine in Gaza is now needed. Reparations from Israel to rebuild Gaza's destroyed infrastructure (homes, shops, offices, hospitals, schools, universities) should occur. #SaveGaza #FreePalestine

Some long overdue fact checking. Someone should tell the prophets of gloom in the opposition.

How super strengthens Australian democracy
