A Spanish politican shot in the face last year, @VidalQuadras, says at an @ISJCommittee meeting that #Iran is behind many global #assassination plots. @realDonaldTrump @Iran_policy @NCRIUS. I filed this story for @JustTheNews https://t.co/zVKRMW2vw8

#Demographics and #fertility are major themes in #Election2024 whether you realize it or not (see #CatLadies, #Abortion, #TaxCredits, #Schools). Read my article on why #Italy is a cautionary tale in today's @WashTimes: https://t.co/IGpgvnMweE

My debut for @FLPhoenixNews and @StatesNewsroom and a return to my sportswriting roots: commentary on a kind of silver lining from @FSUFootball's disappointing season opener in #Dublin: https://t.co/bcFJzLQvp0 #FSUTwitter

Seeing this gave me chills. #BellaCiao is a beautiful song of resistance that I embraced when it was sung from balconies and rooftops here in Italy during #Covid19. Hearing it is playing its role for women in #Afghanistan and #Iran is heartwarming.

Bella Ciao has become an anthem for the oppressed women in Afghanistan and Iran. https://t.co/UqdGl39Ul8

This year, the @AerLingus College Football Classic has a southern accent. Today's #FSUvsGT game day. Here's my coverage from the @OrlandoSentinel (paywall) with insight from @JCameronShow: https://t.co/OXvSG6cAuh

I've been running into #FSU fans all over #Ireland ahead of the #FSUvsGT game, even days before the game and far, far from the game site in #Dublin. The sign below is from #Galway. Media explainers here are interesting (9.1 meters for a 1st down). @FSUfootball #FSUTwitter https://t.co/dEysLQmPnC

A sign of support for the #HarrisWalz campaign hanging in #Trastevere, #Rome, Italy in the middle of the August break. If you don't think the world is watching #Election2024, think again. #Ferragosto @KamalaHQ #elections https://t.co/uesBIZ4Sbj

My dog, Mocha, weighed in on this discussion with @TRTWorld on the rise of the right in Europe, and it took me a second to get back on track. #DogJournalist #LittleMocha @EmmanuelMacron #FranceVote https://t.co/l0pvdthczN

"Sinner visits Colosseum" -- that's news? It can't be the first time this has happened, right? @Agenzia_Ansa #JannickSinner #AusOpen #ausopen2024 https://t.co/kor8EC6CwX

#Lilly, the world's #oldestdog, turned 24 yesterday near #Naples. She celebrated with a dog birthday cake. The mixed-breed girl was rescued from a road side as a pup. The @GWR people are reportedly in the process of verifying her age. #Mutts #Dogsofitaly https://t.co/DZruGVjwsm

#Banksy's 2019 #Venice mural #MigrantBoy has been eroding ever since it appeared in 2019. Today, #Italy gov't officials said they'll take steps to save and protect it. If only they'd do the same for actual migrants. @GiorgiaMeloni @VittorioSgarbi @LuigiBrugnaro @ZaiaPresidente https://t.co/X88z9CHEdm

Amid the atrocities in #Israel and #Gaza comes this dark anniversary: The photos show the #Ghetto di Roma 80 years ago today, and the same spot last night. On this date in 1943, 1,023 Roman Jews were deported from this spot to #Auschwitz. Only 16 survived. #16ottobre #Rome https://t.co/B6BzG5FhCT

#GiorgioNapolitano, who died today aged of 98, was Italy's longest serving president at an incredible 8 years and 244 days. But the length of his tenure will be surpassed in exactly two weeks, when #SergioMattarella will have served 8 years and 245 days. #RIP Pres. #Napolitano. https://t.co/IdgfVWgPvG

#Migrant deaths in the #Mediterranean continue to rise amid rough seas, deteriorating conditions in #Africa, and indifference in #Europe. Here I talk about the ridiculously tragic situation with @TRTWorld. #Tunisia #Migrantcrisis https://t.co/8Nw9CW9rbl . https://t.co/3sMY1Ziv4E
