And all we will need for the leadership of that Democratic Senate to do is hold actual, real, impeachment trials.

As the Constitution requires.

Not the bullshit fake trials like the ones that the Senate held in 2020 and 2021...

Maybe we need to reflag these as the Trump Files.
BREAKING: I have just confirmed with a member of the House Judicial Committee, who has spent numerous hours searching through the unreacted Epstein files, that there were approximately 1.5 million redactions in the Epstein files, with Trump’s names.

Hipkins needs to say now this contract will be scrapped by December with no penalties.

National has no right just before an election to lock this country into a $2.7 billion shit sandwich policy not based on fact in order pay off its donors.

Bit late to it but if you want to know the chain of events that led to us importing gas (and charging electricity users to pay for it!!), I did this deep dive for RNZ last year www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

It's expensive, vulnerable to price shocks and terrible for the planet. So why are we importing gas?

ONE BILLION DOLLARS.

IT WAS THE ADDITIONAL ONE BILLION THAT MADE THEM STOP THE DUNEDIN HOSPITAL AND IREX.

No money for hospitals or the ferries, money to prop up fossil fuels.
Given all the really important shit that this government says we "can't afford" it's amazing what they manage to find money for.
