"…She’s crass, she’s crude, and she’s still at it. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is an embarrassment to Congress, and she’s certainly useless to her constituents in Georgia’s 14th congressional district…"
"…Greene has more time on her hands now that she’s been stripped of her committee assignments, to which she added absolutely no value, but she isn’t using her newfound free time to work for her constituents or to rehabilitate her reputation. She’s back to the same old antics…"
"…and random conspiracy theories that got her into her predicament in the first place. Greene needs to be expelled, not given a bigger platform…"
"…In recent days, video footage surfaced of Greene inappropriately caressing a cardboard cutout of the former president she’s so enthralled with. That’s immaturity one expects from prepubescents, not members of Congress. Most of us are aware of her disrespecting the dead…"
"…in school shootings, her stalking & harassment of minors who’ve survived gun massacres, her anti-Jewish sentiments, her desire to see Democratic legislators executed, & numerous other outrageous behaviors & conspiracies. The QAnon party is fine with her in its ranks,…
"…and the party is rapidly devolving into the image sculpted by Greene…"
"…We should never have leaders who are so unfit and so deranged that they have to be removed from committee assignments. We shouldn’t have legislators whose juvenile and backwards behaviors need to be monitored and assessed for dangers every day…"
'…Greene has learned nothing from her badge of shame. Her non-apology before losing her assignments didn’t save her from rebuke, so she sees no reason to stop with the outlandish and harmful QAnon cultist conduct now…"
"…As the Hartford Courant states, Greene “has a self-awareness problem.” Unfortunately, she’s America’s problem until we get her out of Congress."

The reminder of Kristina Keneally's #NPC address from yesterday:
"…At just $100m SportRorts is small fry compared to where the main game is.

Let’s take just one example with Community Development Grants…"
"…These grants were established in 2013 with a relatively modest $340m under the Abbott Government.

But Scott Morrison – as Treasurer – recognised the political benefit of sitting on large amounts of unallocated money in the budget…"
"…Morrison has topped Community Development Grants up - budget after budget - until it now sits at a whopping $2.5 billion…"

"…No-one goes into politics to be in Opposition.

Especially not those of us on the Labor side, the party of initiative and ideas, the party created and sustained by a belief in the power of government to change people’s lives for the better…"
"…But - so long as you are in Opposition - you have a fundamental responsibility to hold the government to account – not just on issues of policy but on questions of integrity…"
"…Two wks ago, AnthonyAlbanese asked me 2 take on the portfolio of Shadow Minister for Government Accountability.

This means it’s my job to call-out every gov-rort&racket,every broken promise,every instance of th-Liberals&th-Nationals puttin'their donors&their cronies ahead…"

"…fed-gov's attempt to use "extraordinary security powers to obstruct Bernard Collaery engaging a highly respected barrister in the Timor-Leste spying case was “disturbing” and “unfair”, a judge has ruled…"
"…Collaery is fighting allegations that he unlawfully shared protected information about a 2004 Australian spy operation that bugged allies in the Timor-Leste government to gain the upper hand in negotiations over oil and gas resources in the Timor Sea…"
"…The protracted case, which is shrouded in secrecy due to national security law, is winding its way to trial in the ACT supreme court…"

"…The MAGA-mutts are not just deplorables; they R contemptible. Actually, they R beneath contempt but they aren't beyond pity – or sympathy at least. Not that I’m getting all mushy about MAGA-mutts. No. But…They wr played like cheap violins &,2 their shame, they were eager,…"
"…willing marks. Trump played them&now many refuse 2 acknowledge that they were marks. They stormed the Capitol&bought into the con. They bought into Donald Trump. Nearly a half-dozen dead, they played the con so thoroughly.

But Trump wasn’t the only one playing the yokels…"
"…QAnon plays them as fools. So do the Anti-Vaxxer nudniks & the Anti-Maskers & the gun-rights/ammosexual/Incel/Proud Boy/OathKeepers. So do…

Well, you get the picture. Suckers get played. It would seem that a considerable chunk of the American electorate were played;…"

"…Of history’s four impeachments of US presidents, Donald Trump is the proud owner of half of them. Since he’s fond of superlatives he can truthfully say that no one gets impeached better than he does. He gets impeached strongly. All of his impeachments are tremendous…" [bigly]
"… He only gets the best impeachments…"
"…Like a good sequel (here I’m thinking of Godfather II) this week’s impeachment trial is going to have a few interesting differences from the last one. For starters, Chief Justice John Roberts won’t be presiding…"

"…Senator Josh Hawley and his family had a good time on his donors’ dime. FEC records show the Republican Senator used $197 in campaign funds to pay for junk food from places like Voodoo Doughnut and Lard Lad during a family trip to Universal Studios back in March…"
"…Republican lawmakers R makin'their attempts 2 destroy democracy a family affair. Hawley&his family wr at th-park 2 partake in a lobbyist retreat hosted by Sen-RoyBlunt’s Rely on YourBelief’sPAC, which spent ov-$4,500 on admission, includin'tickets 4Hawley,his wife&2children…"
"…Hawley has spent his short congressional career attempting to turn his bootlicking into presidential gold by cozying up to Trump. The latest data shows he might be failing in this effort…"
