This is pure gold.
I’m starting to think JD Vance is a worse VP pick than Sarah Palin

Ukrainian Advent Calendar: Day 4
Today, we would like to say thank you to our Australian friends at @DefenceAust. Despite the significant distance between our countries, we are bonded by shared democratic values. We are particularly grateful for the Bushmaster MRAPs that were provided to #UAarmy.
In September 2022, Bushmasters played a critical role in a successful counter-offensive in the Kharkiv region. Because of its resistance to mine explosions, this vehicle saves the lives of Ukrainian warriors. Also, maneuverability and passability are important for the performance of combat tasks.
Stay tuned for more Weapons of Victory in our Advent Calendar tomorrow.

The Voice is a simple proposal from Indigenous Australians for practical change.
To kick off the last week of the Yes campaign, I talked about it on @sunriseon7, @TheTodayShow, @ABCTV News Breakfast and @SkyNewsAust First Edition.
Here’s a bit of what I had to say.

It couldn’t be simpler. “No leaves us nowhere, yes breathes in new air. That’s why I’m voting yes.” 👏🏽 Join Australian music legend Paul Kelly in sharing your support for a better future today! #VoteYes #VoiceToParliament #HistoryIsCalling

I heard that the RAAF band played “When the War is Over” at the Melbourne Shrine of Remembrance. This version is from the @coldchisel Ringside tour and my favourite because Steve Prestwich is still with us. Thinking of all the loved ones we’ve lost. Full video on my FB page

This is a powerful, moving conversation between @AdyBarkan and @JoeBiden - sometimes they agree, sometimes they don’t, but there’s a mutual admiration and respect and presumption of good faith that we could all use more of these days.
Make some time to watch the whole thing.
Watch @JoeBiden's heartfelt discussion with activist @AdyBarkan, who is dying of ALS. They talk about health care, police brutality, fatherhood, and overcoming grief in this emotional final episode of Barkan's 2020 election series pscp.tv/w/cdSFcjE4NzQ0MHwxWX…

Government is extra hard now. No one alive has endured a pandemic like this one. Morrison, Andrews and Berejiklian have made mistakes. But they are trying. The pissant, whining, sideline barracking from self oiling little twerps like @TimSmithMP and @GideonCRozner is disgusting.

"How many would it take to die every day before you'd think, 'Actually, this guy is not doing what needs to be done?'"
Anti-shutdown protests have continued in the US overnight. @Peter_Fitz has some strong words on President, Donald Trump. #TheDrum
