This is the face of the health care crisis in America.

It’s what I’m fighting to change.

It looks like every media company in American that covers the Pentagon except OAN is refusing to sign Hegseth’s ultimatum.

Speaker Mike Johnson just said he's completely fine with ICE agents shooting priests in the head with pepper balls and roughing up journalists.

I'm sure he'll tell us soon about how it's the Democrats who are waging a war on religion and free speech though.

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

Last Sunday, @demiforillinois.bsky.social, @raygunsite.com and I hosted a No Kings protest sign-making party with the best problem:

So many people showed up, we ran out of table space.

This is what community care looks like.

Meloni ran on a far-right coalition ticket, so I was afraid she would be a total fascist. But she has been moderate. I don't agree with her on a lot. But she does represent Italy well abroad & is skilled at putting her more hateful coalition members in check. And she is pro-EU. Pro-Ukraine.

Correct.

Tired Aphid📎❌👑 @tiredaphid.bsky.social · 17h

I like Meloni. I think she represents Italy well on the world stage. I expected her to be worse than she is. She's much more moderate than others in the coalition that brought her to power.

Tired Aphid📎❌👑 @tiredaphid.bsky.social · 17h

Meloni is a moderate.

Tired Aphid📎❌👑 @tiredaphid.bsky.social · 17h

She's on the side of the EU. If anything, she's playing Trump.

When Meloni covers her mouth, I think she's trying hard not to crack a smile of amusement.

Tired Aphid📎❌👑 @tiredaphid.bsky.social · 17h

She's fine with megalomaniacs. She humored Berlusconi for years.
