  4. I cannot help but sigh deeply whenever politicians get involved in strategic military discussions. This is in no way to disparage, in this case, Senator #Shoebridge as he rightly points out that a handful of submarines will not guarantee open sea lanes to Australia in the event of war. For what it’s worth, Sen Shoebridge is only targeting the Govt’s goto spiel about #AUKUS, that is a simple message which the public can understand and focus on.

    While the govt messaging about protecting sealanes being the reason for SSN acquisition is not entirely wrong, it is not entirely correct either. Submarines platforms are primarily intelligence, insertion, and deterence platforms, #Stealth is something SSN currently have in spades. Their stealth characteristics make these SNNs a force projection multiplier in any theater of sea warfare and likely to make an aggressor think twice before they commit to offensive actions. This comment is not a defence of #AUKUS since that is simply a defence acquisition project. But it is in defence of the need for undersea platforms that are stealthy, highly survivable, can transport personel, equipment and stores, carry offensive and defensive elements and traverse transoceanic distances at speed without refueling. Those needs are dictated to the ADF by the govt of the day in terms of assigned strategic missions and outcomes. In short, our ADF (men adn women pledging their lives to defend us all) deserves the very best materiel and platforms we can provide in order to carry out those missions and responsibilites entrusted to our them.

    Everything else is plainly just politics, played by, I dare say, less than genuine and knowledgeable individuals.

  11. Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) is openly clashing with House Speaker Mike Johnson over a provision she claims he blocked from the NDAA—one requiring the FBI to alert Congress when probing political candidates. Once a Trump ally and former GOP conference chair, Stefanik blames Johnson for blocking her nomination and is now threatening to derail the must-pass defense bill over her fight. Her push for transparency stems from her belief that the Russia and Trump probes are politically motivated. With Johnson’s narrow majority, her opposition could be pivotal—will she force a showdown or back down?

  12. Cowards!
    A key bloc of Democrats, including Senator Jeanne Shaheen and independent Angus King, is preparing to break ranks and support a deal to end the 40-day government shutdown, funding most agencies through January. Their move signals a shift after weeks of deadlock, with Republicans close to securing enough votes for passage, though the deal faces opposition from party leaders like Schumer and Jeffries. The compromise excludes Democrats' main demand—extending health insurance tax credits—though a Republican pledge to revisit this in December offers some hope. Will this bipartisan push finally reopen the government? More here: nytimes.com/2025/11/09/us/poli #GovernmentShutdown #Bipartisanship #Congress #Senate #Policy #Politics

  14. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson: "Though a compromise on the budget deal has not been made, we can assure the public that both parties are working vigorously to push the narrative that the other party is to blame."

    House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY): "Speaker Mike Johnson is absolutely correct. The bipartisan deal to blame the other for all the mishaps the government creates will still be in effect."

  22. In the article by Raw Story, pro-Israel Democrats are alarmed as the Trump administration jeopardizes relationships with moderates by delaying crucial congressional briefings on military strikes in Iran. Rep. Ami Bera stresses that lawmakers need clarity on the administration's motives, while Rep. Ocasio-Cortez pushes for impeachment. This leads to widespread frustration among Democrats, raising concerns about national security oversight.

  23. The BUDS Resolution is a promising step for bipartisan collaboration (tinyurl.com/yvbx6bxd). But deep partisan resistance & powerful executive actions (like using EOs to undermine laws, tinyurl.com/2abm7b6t) can derail progress. Procedural fixes aren't enough. 1Party champions real leadership for the common good.

  27. Lindsey Graham's shift in stance reveals deep concerns about U.S. inaction on Russian aggression. Partnering with bipartisan colleagues, he proposes sanctions like a 500% tariff on nations funding Russia's war, including China and India. With 81 co-sponsors, this contrastingly tough approach highlights the urgency to confront Putin.

    In fact, the takeaway from the broadband tale is that the biggest obstacles to efficiency and abundance are often #corporatepower and its #corruptinginfluence on our politics — factors typically downplayed or unmentioned in the Abundance Discourse."
