First President in history to serve a full term increase the deficit every year he was in office. First President in history to maintain a debt to GDP ratio over 100% for his entire term. Highest annual budget deficit. Most added to the national debt in a single term. Most new unemployment claims. Largest single day point drop in the history of the Dow. First major party candidate in half a century to lose the popular vote twice. Longest government shutdown in history (and he did that while his own party controlled both chambers of Congress). First President in the history of approval ratings to maintain a net negative approval rating for his entire term. First President to be impeached twice. First President to have bipartisan support for his conviction after impeachment (which happened both times). Most indictments, guilty pleas, and criminal convictions of members of an administration. First president to have a mugshot. A long list of claims about Donald Trump’s presidency, legal battles, and personal history is going viral and sparking intense reactions.

In case you're not paying attention: Two years ago... • We didn't have internment camps • We didn't have masked military shooting people in the streets • We weren't at war in the Middle East • We funded science • We funded education • We weren't handing over public land to oil companies • We were friends with Canada, Mexico and Europe • Gas was 1/2 what it is now • Solar and wind energy was a good thing • Inflation was going down, not up • Our food was safer There is not one single thing better now than 2 years ago. #FlipCongressBlue

London, a woman holds a sign saying 'I support genocide. I oppose Palestine Action.' Police leave her alone. But if you hold a sign that says 'I oppose genocide and I support Palestine Action, you get arrested. You can't make this up. In UK, You can openly cheer for mass murder, but you can't protest against it.

I am banned from the West Bank for two months, while the shoeless terrorist Tomer Liani is still at large, enjoying life, participating in ethnic cleansing
We were nearly killed two days ago. Settler-terrorist Tomer Liani bashed my head against the ground repeatedly, then the IDF and police blocked the ambulances and prevented hospitalisation. All because we caught the settlers locking locking a gate to more than 20 Palestinian communities, trapping entire families. We exposed Tomer Liani, Shimon Atia and Nevo Nadalski directly committing crimes against humanity in Masafer Yatta, and we were punished by the Israeli police and court for this. Israeli state terrorism in the West Bank is at its peak, and the authorities are doing everything to keep Palestinian voices silent.

"It is deeply distressing that 3 years into a genocide there are still people in powerful positions who would repeat such lies and distorted facts on the ground." Words from the widow of journalist Roshdi Sarraj who @SenSHenderson falsely accused of being Hamas Full story šŸ‘‡šŸ½
I spoke with .@Shrouqaila, widow of journalist Roshdi Sarraj, on MP Sarah Henderson accusing him of being a Hamas militant while working for ABC in #Gaza. The MP backtracked on her false claims. His wife panned her ā€œdeeply distressingā€ comments canberratimes.com.au/story/9… #auspol

It's important to note that: A - the Shoalhaven councillors did not vote on this, CEO Andrew Constance decided it himself. Email correspondence and statements from organisers confirm that the final decision was an operational directive issued by the CEO alone. B - Andrew Constance, self-declared friend of Israel, based his alleged decision on Nowra suddenly being a hot-bed of antisemitism based on a report that he himself commissioned. Note - even the report he commissioned showed no mention of security problems, threats or counter protests, nor does this art exhibition have any history of that. No perceived threat of any kind is listed above medium and even then, it was on the organisers, not Council. It's almost as if Andrew Constance invented a perceived threat, pretended it existed and then used his invented perception as an excuse to cancel the exhibition. (link to screenshots from Shoalhaven resident, Steve Prothero. steveprothero.substack.com/p… ) .

I followed this wise man today, and honestly, u should too. The way he dismantles Israel’s carefully manufactured image and puts into words what so many are afraid to say is an absolute art form. Every word hits. Go give him a follow @BenMoser123

Why did Shoalhaven City Council ban the Wall of Tears art display? Stay with me. Did you know former NSW Liberal MP Andrew Constance took a fully paid study tour of Israel a few years back? It was hosted by the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies & Australia-Israel Chamber of Commerce, (chaired by Jillian Segal at the time, who we must presume approved all expenses) On his return, Constance firmly defended the foundational rights of Israel, stating on NSW parliamentary record: "The yearning to return to the land of Israel - and the right to return since its establishment - is fundamental." Constance also said in parliament: "To anybody who is in any doubt about the philosophical issues that are there (in Israel), I urge them to visit and see it for themselves." Over the years, former Liberal MP Andrew Constance has formally acknowledged and maintained strong professional relationships with key community organizations, particularly the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies and the Australia-Israel Chamber of Commerce. In September 2025 after leaving NSW politics, Andrew Constance became the CEO of Shoalhaven City Council. There's always a trail.

NSW Shoalhaven city council says it is ā€œunsafeā€ to recognise the children killed by Israel in Gaza with world renowned artwork as it creates an ā€œunacceptable safety riskā€ to the community. I think they mean it creates ā€˜unacceptable shame to the Zionists.’ What a disgrace.

Talarico goes scorched earth on Elon Musk. Maybe this is why Elon is spending hundreds of millions of dollars to defeat him. "For one of our own residents to become the world's first trillionaire while one in five Texas children live in poverty, to me, that is a spiritual sickness. To accumulate more wealth than you could possibly spend in 100 lifetimes while we have people starving in this one, to me that means we're not fulfilling our full humanity."

There's something very wrong with society when objecting to genocide reaps more arrests than committing genocide.
Over 4,000 pro-Palestinian people arrested in total, and 94 year-old Margaret is taken again, despite decades of service to the country

UN Commissioner Chris Sidoti explained why so many children have been killed and injured in Gaza, pointing to two factors. The first is Israel’s military strategy of total destruction since October 7, 2023. The second, he said, is that Israeli forces deliberately targeted children, citing two brothers aged 9 and 10 killed by an Israeli drone while gathering firewood for their family, about 100 meters from the yellow line. The commission concluded that the killing of children was deliberate, not accidental, a conclusion that rests on eyewitness testimony, video, satellite images, medical reports, and the posts of Israeli soldiers themselves.

Neither Jewish nor non-Jewish Australians support Jillian Segal. She represents a powerful lobby, not the Australian public, yet demands millions of our dollars to restrict the freedoms of us all. She must be removed.
Special Envoy Jillian Segal’s latest report is a dangerous and ideologically driven roadmap that threatens freedom of speech, academic freedom and democratic rights, while failing to meaningfully address the root causes of antisemitism. Our release: jewishcouncil.com.au/2026/10…
