Can confirm. I’ve been out reporting in very red parts of Ohio and GOP-heavy events where I’ve heard a lot of variations of “all politicians are corrupt”
CNN: GOP operatives conducting a focus group in a traditionally red Midwestern state this month were taken aback by what they heard from their own party’s voters.
Asked what they blamed for rising gas prices, those voters pointed to “corrupt politicians” and “billionaires” — a response that surprised some longtime strategists who’ve never seen government corruption emerge as a top issue for so many Republican voters in congressional races.

Ohioans shouldn’t have to sacrifice their rights to keep our state safe.
As governor, I will support legislation to ban Flock cameras. I will always support law enforcement and keep our communities safe without allowing mass surveillance of everyday Ohioans.

If you’re advising POTUS to declare martial law, or use other executive powers in an attempt to interfere with a lawful election that you’re expecting to lose, you’re a piece of shit human and an even worse American.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Interesting… I’m actually surprised that Corruption is the #1 concern with 88%.

So you’re aware, if you wear glasses, that’s an accessibility aid and you’re disabled. Glasses are just so normalized that most people don’t see it as such. Imagine if most aids were that way. Imagine how much more respect disabled people would get. It’s completely possible.

I live in Ohio. It was hot as balls all Summer long. Not one time did anyone ever say the grid was in danger like this. What in the fuck are they up to?
BREAKING 🚨 The Federal Government just declared a POWER GRID EMERGENCY across 13 states + D.C...
Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia... and Washington D.C.
The Department of Energy just issued an emergency order to PJM, the grid that powers 65 MILLION people... running Oct 13 through Oct 16.
Continued HOT temperatures are straining the grid... so power plants are now allowed to run PAST their pollution limits just to keep the lights on...
And as a LAST RESORT before rolling blackouts... PJM can force data centers and other big power users off the grid and onto their backup generators.
The grid could have as little as ~900 MW of cushion left...
This is NOT normal.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The DOE order follows PJM's request for flexibility amid forecasted tight conditions from warm fall weather plus ~62,000 MW planned maintenance outages; PJM states its alerts require no customer action.

Sherrod Brown has always been on our side, and he is the only candidate that can beat the corrupt, pro-data center, Trump-backed, MAGA incumbent Jon Husted.

Apparently Russian servers have been hit by a Ukrainian strike and immediately massive online hard right chatter has collapsed.
This particular chatter was in support of Germany’s AFD, their equivalent to Reform, but similar patterns are being seen in hard right movements everywhere, including the UK.
If anyone needed anymore evidence that Russia are driving a massive wave of hard right propaganda in Europe, this is it.
So, all you “patriots” - you’ve been duped by Russia, and you are about as far from patriotic as anyone can be. You are easily brainwashed though. This is how propaganda works.

I love how the "pro life" crowd is frothing at the mouth to watch a public execution

Hawaii has stopped Citizens United. Corporations in Hawaii can no longer spend money on elections.
That's how it's done!
Every state should follow suit.
Let’s just make it a federal law.
Period.

We didn’t learn anything from Covid. People are already confidently calling the plague a nothingburger.
Sure, we have cipro and doxycycline.
The obvious concern here is that this strain was modified to be antibiotic resistant or spread more easily. We simply don’t know yet.
