Putin thought he’d defeat Ukraine in 3 days. After a year of his brutality and war crimes, Ukraine’s people continue to inspire the world with their courage and defiance of tyranny. They remain the frontline on the defense of democracy as we know it. Slava Ukraini!#UkraineWar

Memo to the Fed: Interest rate hikes aren't working because inflation is being driven by corporations using it as cover to price gouge the people.

When multi-billionaires take control of our most vital platforms for communication, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.

All these things can be true at once:
1) Free speech is a right
2) Private businesses have a right to choose their customers & to moderate content
3) Consolidation of power in the hands of a few billionaire oligarchs is bad
4) Consolidation of TV/radio/news/media companies is bad
So … I guess he’s no longer denying he illegally had these National Security secrets or claiming that they were “planted” by the FBI….
Is it just me or did he just essentially say, “Yeah, I had them the whole time, but I’m not that messy?” Not a great defense Don….

Here are the two Federal crimes that perfectly fit Trump’s actions leading up to and on Jan 6. Take your pick, as they both fit his actions like a glove….

BREAKING: President Biden just announced that Medicare facilities will be required to perform abortions that save the mother’s life *regardless of state law*
This decision will save lives. So grateful for @POTUS's leadership.
You are completely shameless @FrankLaRose; becuz, in order to feel shame, you must first have a conscience—which you obviously lack. When you served in the Army, you lived by a code of ethics, which you apparently discarded upon your discharge. Shameless…
#Elections2022
1300 candidates from both parties filed in time to be on the August 2nd ballot.
6 Democrats didn’t. And even though ballots have already gone out, the Ohio Supreme Court is risking election chaos to put them on the ballot. Shameful.

“We focused on the ones we focused on…” is not taking an affirmative step to attempt compliance w/ the constitutional requirement for a proportional map. We demonstrated add’l D-leaning compliant seats can be added in places like Athens Co. The GOP mapmakers just didn’t try.
👇
The constitutional provision, as interpreted by the Court, required the Commission to attempt to comply with the proportionality goals. This requires evidence. It requires more than just saying, "I tried."

And this in violation of the Supreme Court's Order and the State Constitution.. AGAIN
Replying to @AndrewJTobias
The map will favor Republicans to win 57 of 99 House districts and 20 of 33 Senate districts. A significant number of the Democratic-leaning seats are highly competitive, which gives the GOP upside to win more seats.
Not to mention the citizens of Ohio, who voted overwhelmingly (TWICE) to eliminate partisan Gerrymandering. The Republicans should just get it over with and rename their party the Anti-democracy party. MFP….

Today we honor and celebrate the life of Martin Luther King, Jr. Let’s recommit ourselves to his legacy by tirelessly and unapologetically working for voting rights, racial justice, and labor rights.
As Ohio’s former AG, you know that SCOTUS ruled in 1905 that vax mandates are Constitutional. You also know that protecting worker safety is squarely in OSHA’s authority; therefore, your praise of this decision is as inexplicable as it is shameful….

This is incredibly encouraging News!!!

Pulled my re-election petitions this morning! Serving the people of central Ohio is an honor, and I hope to continue working with my constituents to build an Ohio that works for all of us.

One year later, this rings true: “If we fail to recognize the interconnection between voter suppression, election subversion and seditious insurrection, we may prevent one of them only to witness democracy’s demise at the hands of the others.”

As I watched the vigils today, marking the worst attack on our democracy, since the Civil War, I asked myself where my Rep, @RepMikeCarey, was. What was more important than showing his commitment to our republic & to all those who defended it against a violent insurrection? #Jan6
