German hospitals overloaded with wounded Ukrainian soldiers, Scholz government refuses to cover treatment costs (rmx.news)
 

German hospitals are currently overloaded with seriously wounded Ukrainian soldiers, many of whom require extensive treatment and rehabilitation, with the country’s hospitals putting out an “emergency call” over financial and resource burdens. However, the federal government says it is not responsible for the costs, and in fact, refuses to even acknowledge there is a problem.

“There is a risk that the treatment of newly arriving patients from Ukraine can no longer be guaranteed in the near future,” announced Professor Dr. Steffen Ruchholtz, managing director of the Center for Orthopedics and Trauma Surgery at the University Hospital of Giessen and Marburg and deputy president of the German Society for Orthopedics and Trauma Surgery (DGOU).

‘Prison or bullet’: new Argentina government promises harsh response to protest in c/[email protected]

My first thought was that this was very un-Libertarian of Milei, and then I got my answer:

José Luis Espert, a legislator in Bullrich’s Together for Change alliance, which is in coalition with Milei’s Liberty Advances party, replied with a three-word phrase: “Prison or bullet.”

Milei did not even say these lines.

It seems to be mostly about cracking down on disruptive protests that block traffic, etc.

Some of this just isn't that bad:

It also limits the participation of teenagers in social protests, ruling that parents of youngsters who should have been at school instead of protesting will be sanctioned.

Fair & good.

Only 6% Of Americans Approve Of GOP Leader Mitch McConnell in c/[email protected]

I believe it is the case that most legitimate conservatives have no interest in Mitch.

He's just someone that did well in local politics, perhaps even just primarily impressing his constituency with how much power he was able to acquire.
