NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

In a UN speech today, President Trump said that "all of these [climate] predictions were wrong".

Back in 2019 I led a research effort to digitize old climate model projections and assess how well they did. Turns out they got future warming pretty spot on!

Gina Rinehart urges Liberals to stick with Trump-like policies in the wake of election loss Billionaire tells Daily Mail ‘left media’ frightened party away from ‘anything Trump’ and calls on Liberals to adopt ‘commonsense and truth’ principles

Rinehart has gone full MAGA tantrum in the wake of the coalition’s massive defeat

She’s encouraging the Libs to stick with Trump-like policies.

That’s precisely why ppl didn’t vote for the Coalition

Rinehart is only concerned abt Rinehart profits- not democracy

I just would like to say thank you to @zoedaniel.bsky.social for all her hard work over the last 3 years. I live in Sydney, not your electorate but your commitment to the people of Goldstein and Australia in general was obvious and much appreciated. Best of luck with your next move. #Auspol.

3 Australian women have been murdered in a 24hr period this week. 19 Australian women have been murdered so far this year. Both the media and most politicians are silent on this. Thanks @sherelemoody.bsky.social for reporting on this horrific epidemic. #DV #VAW #StopKillingWomen #auspol #AusVotes25

I follow politics closely every day

I see the actions, policies, plans, influencers & tactics of all the parties & candidates.

While I am no huge fan of the Labor Party - I just cannot understand for a moment how anyone can support or enable the LNP

I truly believe LNP are dangerous to us #auspol

There’s a large troll/bot campaign going on on SM - spreading the Ute tax furphy like wildfire.

This likely originated from Advance bots flooding the zone with lies abt Labor’s vehicle emissions targets legislation

Aus is reducing emissions, not taxing utes. Ppl will also find cheaper alternatives

Coalition to abolish 'ute tax' fuel efficiency standards Peter Dutton says a scheme to cut the emissions of cars and encourage electric vehicle uptake will be abolished under a Coalition government.

The Coalition wants to gut vehicle efficiency standards & hand out a 12-month fuel excise sugar hit - a short-term bribe over a long-term fix.

Standards deliver more efficient cars to cut emissions, reduce fuel imports, and save Aussies thousands.

Peter Dutton thinks the gas industry needs.... more handouts?? YouTube video by Verity Cooper For Sturt

🎓Professor Dutton rewrites the laws of chemistry: gas is now a "critical mineral".🧐

He's doing this to give 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 handouts to Santos etc via a $4bn Critical Minerals Fund, set up to support the move to net zero.

An Australian was denied US entry for bizarre reasons. He’s not alone One Australian traveller says he’s now $15,000 out of pocket after being denied entry to the US after “enhanced vetting”. His crime? Choosing a cheap fare.

Just don’t go. America doesn’t want you.

A reminder to any Americans who aspire to “own” Canada. This is April 2 in a city that’s a mere 220 km from the border. It’s cold, we’re woke and we insist on using the metric system.

You’d hate it here.
