The campaign against solar benefited from 2 powerful forces funded by oil and gas interests. A former gas exec out of sight while the longstanding local paper, now in the hands of a “pink slime” media company, operated publicly. @TowCenter's latest. cjr.org/tow_center/fossil-fu…

Jones: Vance lied the entire night. American energy production is up. He said it's down. He said Donald Trump saved Obamacare. He lied about the insurrection, he said we had a peaceful transfer of power. He lied and said he never supported a national abortion ban

❤️ Marcus
Not all heroes wear capes, but Marcus does. This is the perfect response to all the Republicans making bad faith arguments that Harris should just implement her policies now.

For absolutely no specific reason, here is a video of Cate Blanchett killing Zachary Levi.

Deters was forced to resign as our state Treasurer over a pay-to-play scandal but got appointed to the OH Sup Ct w/o any prior judicial experience by longtime pal Gov. DeWine & has a history of putting partisan interests over justice, so this is rich coming from him. Also...
Ohio Supreme Court Justice Joe Deters, who voted to uphold controversial GOP-authored ballot-summary language for Issue 1 last week, now says Democrats want redistricting reform because they "can’t win," @Jake_Zuckerman reports. cleveland.com/open/2024/09/o…

Surprising no one, Ohio AG continues to play culture war bullshit to the direct harm of vulnerable Ohioans

A top public concern is high grocery prices. Yet attorneys general in Ohio and 12 other states are in court trying to push through a mega-merger between two of the largest chains in the U.S. And they're using an anti-regulatory argument that's in Project 2025 to do it.

Issue 1 is a nonpartisan measure backed by Ohioans who demand fair districts. The real power grab was the GOP’s gerrymandered maps that built their supermajority and let them ignore the will of voters. LaRose, and losers like him, fear they can’t win without rigging the system.

The next time someone opposed to Issue 1 tells you that the current redistricting commission is required to preserve communities of interest, remember that the Senate district on the left would be permitted under current law while the one on the right would not be permitted.

It's fine to claim that the Ohio press corps is a "shameless media echo chamber." But it's important to note that this post came right after LaRose refused to answer any questions from reporters trying hard to get his side of the story. xitter.cf/FrankLaRose/status/183…
It’s not an anti-gerrymandering measure if it literally REQUIRES gerrymandering, but this is what we’re up against, folks. No matter how much you try to give voters the truth, the left will always have its media machine helping to distort it. This is a well-funded, foreign billionaire-bought, propaganda campaign fueled by a shameless media echo chamber, and it’s the new playbook. Wake up.

The Vance campaign provided the Wall Street Journal with a police report to prove their claims about cat-eating Haitians in Springfield. The WSJ spoke to the woman who filed it, who said she later found her cat alive and well in her basement. She also apologized to her Haitian neighbors.

Hey @OhioAG @DaveYostOH, are you investigating this act of voter intimidation by a public official and prosecuting appropriately?

This continues to be some fucking disgusting shit from our ag
There’s not a town in America that could absorb a quarter to a third of its population of new immigrants. Don’t buy the shrill “debunking” by the leftist media outlets that desperately want to shut down this debate just weeks before voting starts. foxnews.com/video/6361965703…

Senator @JDVance said that economists disagree about whether tariffs lead to higher prices. So this week, the University of Chicago surveyed economists and asked them exactly this question.
Welker: Do you acknowledge that consumers will ultimately pay more if there are more tariffs. Do you acknowledge that? Vance: No, I don’t. Economists disagree about the effects of tariffs..
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Economists overwhelmingly agree that tariffs raise prices and harm an economy. For example, 95 percent of American Economics Association members have repeatedly agreed that "tariffs and import quotas usually reduce general economic welfare." cato.org/publications/s…
