The PM can’t turn his back on NSW during this crisis. We need Jobkeeper. Now.

Alongside @GregPiperMP we're pushing for 100% of #coalash to get recycled, and roads are just the beginning!! There are potentially thousands of jobs in our coal regions to come from the clean-up @YasminCatley @Matt_KeanMP @AdamSearleMLC newcastleherald.com.au/story…

Today was a good day. I have never been happier to wait in a line. If you’re eligible, join me and sign up to get your vaccine. Come with me if you want to live!

Oh my God, the literacy. The adult vocabulary. The complete sentences. The elevation of semi-colons over exclamation marks. How I've missed thee.

“Gorman managed to write a few lines a day and was about halfway through the poem on Jan. 6, when pro-Trump rioters stormed into the halls of Congress, some bearing weapons and Confederate flags. She stayed awake late into the night and finished the poem” nytimes.com/2021/01/19/books…

Amanda Gorman Captures the Moment, in Verse (Published 2021)

The youngest inaugural poet in U.S. history read “The Hill We Climb,” which she finished after the riot at the Capitol. “I’m not going to in any way gloss over what we’ve seen,” she says.

Crossfire of forest use concerns Hunter mountain bike riders. "It just beggars belief we could have such a conflict of uses, with something as passive & family-oriented as a mountain bike park...which can be exposed to the risk from hunters." newcastleherald.com.au/story… @GregPiperMP

The very rare Wollemi Pines have been around since prehistoric times. From today their existing protections will be further boosted so they survive for millions of years more. They are the first site in NSW to be declared an Asset of Intergenerational Significance!

It's weird how so many people who ominously say "do your research" before getting the vaccine haven't done any research and don't realize that their vague concerns have all been researched and answered

Some cabinet members are holding preliminary discussions about invoking the 25th amendment to force Trump’s removal from office, a source familiar with the matter tells CNN. It’s unclear whether the effort would ultimately be successful at this stage.

The cretin in the antler hat is a Qanon supporter who seems to appear prominently at every violent Trump rally He's well known. It's a dangerous cult with no structure or leaders to hold back extremist zealots like this one Qanon supporters are close to Australia's leaders too.

It's not only that Trump led this attempted coup ... but his flunkies look like this.

Today’s mob violence at the Capitol is the culmination of Trump’s sustained assault on American democracy. The President should call on the mob he incited to disperse and go home. And Trump’s supporters in the GOP and the media should reflect on what they have enabled.
Governor Phil Murphy@GovMurphy6 Jan 2021
We are witnessing one of the darkest days in American history. The President must immediately condemn the attempted coup at the U.S. Capitol and deploy the National Guard to keep Members of Congress safe and allow a peaceful transition of power.

If Trump supporters, Antifa or other factions with guns and explosives can storm the Capitol this easily...to be a fly on the wall to see Putin’s face when this happened. Or any world leader, for that matter. Embarrassing for America.

Gosh, is he thinking maybe if wasn't such a hot idea to humor and coddle an evil, narcissistic psychopath and leave him in a position of power?

On Fox News, Kevin McCarthy describes what’s happening as “Un-American.” He sounds scared and angry.

HOW NOT TO DO IT: In his ostensible call for peace, TRUMP spends more time fanning the grievances & false claims that animated his supporters’ lawlessness, calling his opponents “evil" & accusing them of stealing the election “from all of us — from me, from you, from our country”

I suspect @GladysB has just won the vote of every woman who has ever worked hard at her job and been forced to put up with some grandstanding egomaniac oxygen-thief dude constantly messing things up.
