Australia's centre-left Labor likely to retain power as Trump concerns weigh, polls show

Australia's centre-left Labor government is likely to retain power in a close-run national election this weekend, two opinion polls showed on Thursday, with voters ranking U.S. President Donald Trump's policies among their top concerns. A RedBridge-Accent poll published by News Corp newspapers on Thursday showed Labor leading 53%-47% against the conservative Liberal-National coalition under Australia's two-party preferential voting system, where votes are distributed until a winner is declared. Labor could win the election in its own right or form a minority , the RedBridge poll said, marking a reversal of sentiment from February, when voters wanted Prime Minister Anthony Albanese out of office.

DOGE tramples on a key part of government accountability. That's no accident.

The vision of the Constitution we all learned in school, the one with three branches that are supposed to counterbalance one another, is not our reality.
In an article from MSN, it is discussed how former President Donald Trump's actions have significantly undermined a crucial aspect of government accountability, which is not coincidental but part of a broader strategy. The piece highlights how Trump's refusal to comply with the Presidential Records Act by not turning over records to the National Archives, including classified documents, represents a deliberate challenge to established norms and laws designed to ensure transparency and accountability in government. This behavior is portrayed as part of a larger pattern where Trump and his allies have consistently attacked and weakened institutions meant to hold public officials accountable, thereby threatening the democratic process. The article suggests that these actions are not mere oversights but calculated moves to erode the checks and balances that are fundamental to American democracy.
