It’s the election result Democrats almost didn’t dare to dream of. 

But with anger mounting over the cost of living amid Trump’s war with Iran, traditionally conservative states across America flipped blue. 

Democrats have now taken control of both the US House and Senate in a stunning win that’s being seen as a direct rejection of President Trump. 

Today, editor-at-large of The National Interest, Steve Clemons on where Trump went wrong, what the Democrats will do with their new powers in Congress, and whether this spells the end of MAGA.

It’s rare to get a glimpse into the inner workings of One Nation – Pauline Hanson and James Ashby have made sure of that.

But now, thanks to a whistleblower and secret recordings, former party insiders have revealed some of the chaos behind the party’s rise – with allegations of bikie links, unfair dismissals and undue influence from Australia’s richest person.

Today, investigative journalist at The Age Nick McKenzie, on his investigation into One Nation, and why transparency matters more than ever as the Victorian election draws near.

Russell Brand is off to jail for a very long time. 

The once powerful comedian turned Christian influencer has been sentenced to ten years and six months for the rape of one woman, and the sexual assault of three others.

It all happened at the peak of his career – when Brand was able to use his power and fame to prey on women and get away with it.

Now he’s finally been brought to justice 

Today, host of the BBC’s ‘Fame under Fire’ podcast, Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty on how Brand was able to hide in plain sight, the trial that finally exposed him, and why the reckoning may not be finished just yet.

The fall of Russell Brand

The submarines are still years away, but the decisions reshaping Australia’s defence posture are already being made.

That’s one of the central warnings from the AUKUS Public Inquiry, which last week called for the submarine deal to be scrapped. 

Its lead commissioner, former environment minister Peter Garrett, says the consequences of AUKUS go well beyond its cost – it’s also about Australia’s growing role in America’s military strategy, and our ability to make decisions for ourselves. 

Today, lead Commissioner for the AUKUS inquiry Peter Garrett, on what the inquiry revealed about the deal Australia signed, and why he says the government owes Australians an explanation.
