Given the House has been out of session for ages and that Johnson continually replies to journalists' questions with "I don't know", "I haven't seen/heard/read that" or "I'm not aware of that", one suspects he currently spends a lot of time sitting on a couch playing video games.
Mike Johnson: "With Medicaid, we eliminated the fraud, waste, and abuse. We got able-bodied young men without dependents off the program. They were never intended to be there. They're sitting around on their couches playing video games. Yes, that's an actual study."

She used the semis to drive over puppies.
Kristi Noem: "Putting these foreigners in tracker trailers like the ones you see behind me becomes extremely dangerous. I have driven semis over many many years and 18 wheelers and understand they're difficult to stop, maneuver."

Salvini è entrato alla riunione da leone ed è uscito da agnellino. Evidentemente, gli hanno detto che questo pasticcio l'ha combinato lui ed ora tocca a lui risolverlo, altrimenti pagherà le conseguenze.

After Italian Court of Auditors blocked Messina Strait bridge project, Ministers met today to decide their strategy. Salvini, the Minister responsible, went into the meeting like an enraged lion & emerged like a docile lamb. They clearly told him it was his shitshow & his alone.

A prescindere dalle opinioni personali di ognuno a favore o contro il ponte sullo stretto, non c'è dubbio che Salvini abbia gestito tutto da dilettante con la sua solita leggerezza ed improvvisazione. Dovrebbe dimettersi. https://t.co/uVoTDxpX3i

Italian Court of Auditors denies approval for Messina Strait bridge project. Salvini's "it'll be alright on the night" strategy is in tatters. Government can (and probably will) overrule on basis of higher public interest but they then take full responsibility for consequences.

King Donald I of America invokes his divine right.
Q: What did you mean last night when you said you were prepared to send 'more than the National Guard' into American cities? TRUMP: Sure, I'd do that. As you know I'm allowed to do that Q: Do you mean other branches of the military you'd send in? TRUMP: If it were -- who are

Italian President Sergio Mattarella dedicated his life to public service in memory of his brother Piersanti. Mafia bosses were convicted of ordering the murder but those who materially carried it out have never been identified. Let's hope Sergio sees justice done in his lifetime.
Former officer of the Palermo Flying Squad arrested for allegedly hiding or destroying evidence following the murder of Piersanti Mattarella in 1980. Nobody has been convicted of the killing, probably carried out by Cosa Nostra or far-right groups. https://t.co/iWiLaIKmqu

Non-Italians tend to think of more elaborate pasta dishes. We eat pasta almost every day at my home but simple dishes: Pasta with broccoli, with cauliflower, with beans, with lentils, with courgettes, with spinach, with chicory, with pumpkin, with chickpeas & ofc with tomato.
Today is World Pasta Day or, here in Italy, Saturday.

Italian Senator @CarloCalenda left Jeffrey Sachs literally speechless and shocked by calling him a liar and a propagandist. It happened on Prime Time Italian television. Priceless 🤩 [ENG SUB] (The 2nd part in the next tweet)

It's almost a month now that Trump has been saying that Portland is burning to the ground. There shouldn't be anything left of the city at this point.
Trump: "I look the other night, Saturday night, Portland is burning to the ground and these people are saying it's just friendly stuff. The whole place is burning to the ground. So we'll take care of that one. That's like an insurrection more than it is anything else. Portland is
