@stephruhle.bsky.social thank you for invoking the Blessed Mother when Mrs. Mike Johnson said: ‘Women’s brains are like spaghetti.’ I can say as a woman and a proud Italian American: everything about this is wrong.🤦🏼♀️

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Habba: There were individuals that were saying that this should be a safe harbor, a safe haven. Why? America is America because we protect our own.

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.
