The best explanation I've read for Trumps win motherjones.com/politics/202…
Why did Trump really win? It's simple, actually.

When the economy thrives while half of America struggles, something has got to give.

Ironically, Trump conspiring to improve his chances of winning the 2016 election by paying hush money to women, through his lawyer, and hiding the payments is the only conspiracy theory that cookers won't believe. The GOP candidate for POTUS is a convicted felon.

An excellent thread on wet bulb temperature and the human body

Quick 🧡 on wet bulb temperature and why it matters for human survivability. To understand this, first some facts about the human body. To survive, humans need to keep their body temperature within a few degrees of 98°F.

As Omicron strains spread, is this the forever plague?

Trump’s top allies are preparing to radically reshape the federal government if he is re-elected, purging potentially thousands of civil servants and filling career posts with loyalists to him and his "America First” ideology. Read Inside Trump '25 trib.al/HZ8swFg

My election tip for tonight is ALP by 3. LNP will bleed votes to both the far-Right and the Teals. The Senate will be a crazy mess of parties. We might be seeing a party realignment similar to US and UK. Inner cities voting ALP and outer regions voting LNP

An excellent thread on a form of modern day peonage called the Indue card. A lot of plans for a card that they say that they don't really want LNP are all for personal choice, except for the very poor on welfare and pensioners.

1. Here’s some great articles I have found on the indue card. They discuss life on the card, the ineffectiveness of the card of achieving desired goals, the stigma associated with the card, have a look, share articles far and wideπŸ‘‡πŸΌ

An explanation why ALP could lose with Albo if he keeps channelling his inner Beazley against Scotty from Marketing. smh.com.au/politics/federal/…

After his early blunder, the Labor leader must stop the waffle and quickly wrest control of the political narrative.

I hope ALP win but there is a pathway to a LNP victory when you hold 10 NSW seats on <5% margins. Nothing should be taken for granted smh.com.au/politics/federal/…

Scott Morrison needs to claw back seats in NSW this election to offset losses expected elsewhere.

Twitter is inherently rude when you think about it. Imagine walking up to a random person and telling them exactly what's on your mind or showing them random happy snaps you've taken

Easter and Anzac Day will fall during the election campaign which complicates the timing of when the Prime Minister is likely to announce the poll date.

The retired opinion leader @HuXijin_GT gave a candid explanation of why China should support Russia on WeiBo. Interestingly he meant it for domestic consumption and didn’t post it on Twitter. I am doing him a favor by translating the main points (thread) m.weibo.cn/status/4749196285…
