If Husted appears with Ramaswamy after the latter doubles down on the most reprehensible ad in memory attacking Acton for her childhood abuse it should end his career as well. You cannot be fit for office and go along with this. www.axios.com/2026/10/21/r...

axios.comExclusive: Ramaswamy doubles down on explosive ad featuring rival's mother, despite backlashRamaswamy is gambling that the deeply personal attack by Amy Acton's mother will resonate with voters.

Two thoughts: This false, despicable ad is proof that Vivek Ramaswamy knows he is about to lose to Amy Acton. No mother who loves her daughter would do this. Her complicity reveals her.

Today is the first day of early voting in Ohio! We just voted at Franklin County Board of Elections. What a warm welcome from everyone working there. True public servants. If you are voting today, please share your photo in this thread. Photo by Jacey Schank.

Every time I was in Gloris Steinem’s presence, I was struck by her strength, and calm. She had accomplished so much for so many, but her focus was always on the here & now. Who needed help today? Who needed a champion? Without fail, she was ready to answer the call. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/03/u...

Happy Father’s Day to every man who has loved a child. If you are struggling, may this day land gently. Photo: Sherrod with our first grandchild, Clayton, who graduated from high school earlier this month.

Shortly after we boarded a recent flight home, a fellow Ohioan handed this card to Sherrod and offered words of encouragement. These moments of kindness mean so much, particularly in this campaign season. We meet good people everywhere.

This raid is an alarming & desperate move by GOP. Only 1 reason this administration’s FBI would attempt to intimidate & suppress OH voters. What a full-frontal attack on the millions of Ohioans who are ready to reject efforts to inflict additional harm on them. www.statenews.org/government-p...

Trump welcoming a women's sports national champion to the White House vs. how you're supposed to welcome a women's sports national champion to the White House

Very good to see this from Senator Reed. "If these reports are accurate, Secretary Hegseth’s decision to remove four decorated officers from a promotion list after having been selected by their peers for their merit and performance is not only outrageous, it would be illegal."

I served in the Pentagon. Surely, surely Chairs and Ranking Members of Senate and House Armed Services Committees will take action here. What's reported here is a gross stain on America and damaging to the armed services. It also fits a pattern with SecDef Hegseth. Have we no shame. Gift link:

Rep Jason Crow (D-CO): “I went to war three times for this country and learned that when elites in Washington bang the war drums, working class folks pay the price. The tough talk of a five-time draft dodger falls flat for Americans tired of military adventurism”

Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

On the execution in Minnesota: Obviously, the individuals involved should be held accountable. But responsibility goes to the top of ICE and CBP, and DHS. Their appropriations come up next week in the senate. Not a cent for DHS without pulling ICE and CBP off the streets, in MN and everywhere else.

She smiles at the man who shoots her and says she isn't mad at him. Clearly initiates the effort to leave when the aggressive agents arrive. The question now (not that this was in question) isn't who's telling the truth. It's when DHS had this video and knew that what they were saying was a lie.

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social

🚨 NEW VIDEO 👇🏽This puts an end to all the lies. Horrific. They were having a calm exchange seconds before he murdered Renee Good, and she was barely moving and clearly avoiding him. Stop the lies.

Jan. 6, 2021: Sherrod leaving for D.C. at 5:09 a.m. No amount of presidential pardons & shameful attempts to rewrite history will change what I remember about the violence on our Capitol that day. For nearly 45 minutes, we could not determine Sherrod’s whereabouts, or whether he was even alive.

Yet another illustration of how adoration so desperately sought forever eludes the undeserving. You can force people to pretend to love you, but no one is fooled.
