Vivek doesn’t care about Ohio - he’s only out for himself. I've called on him to divest his individual stocks and data center investments, but he refuses so he can keep cashing in. Read my full op-ed now: www.dispatch.com/story/opinio...

Amy Acton: Vivek Ramaswamy is bought and paid for by data center owners. He'll never get everyday Ohioans like I do.

Today feels like when the newspapers changed in BTTF
I’m seriously looking for a bunch of resignations coming up soon.
Lots being said about this, but another important dynamic here is that a generation of GOP staffers has been raised with such contempt for journalism and factfinding that they've never stopped to think how basic journalistic factfinding practices could save them undue embarrassment
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 6d ago🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:
‘Eric Schmitt’ will now be synonymous with Congressional public hearing f***-ups. His name will become shorthand: “Wow, that Congressman really Schmitt the bed with that question.”
The repubs are a bunch of fucking Jabronis
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 6d agoextremely weird shit during the Jack Smith hearing -- Sen. Eric Schmitt's team briefly displays a poster board that Schmitt claims contains evidence Smith committed perjury, but then Schmitt's team takes it down before anybody can read it and refuses to show Smith what it says

We have a new high poll for Dems AFAIK of D+16 on the generic ballot among likely voters. I think pollsters are playing kind of fast and loose with these filters to only use decided voters but still. Holy hell
Good morning everyone! Hold onto your hats, it feels like things are happening RN. Don’t overlook things these next few days, it seems like it’s going to come fast and furious.
Let's see... --Mike Johnson: "We'll do the same thing the next 2 yrs we've done the last 2 yrs!" --Ken Paxton: "Praise me for letting a child rapist out of prison after 60 days!" --Roger Marshall: "I arrested a poor pregnant woman over $50!" --John Husted: "Poor people are too stupid to shop!"
Sherrod Brown@sherrodbrownoh.bsky.social · 6d agoNEW AD: Listen to this sh*t.
It's the wilderness survival equivalent of getting fire and shelter. You're far from out of the woods but you can start taking the next steps to get you there.
John Oliver lists off just some of Ken Paxton’s scandals: “Paxton spent nearly 9 years under indictment for securities fraud... He was also accused of bribery and abuse of office by eight of his own top deputies... But wait, because I'm still not done.”
For 99 weeks since the 2024 election, we’ve organized against Trump’s chaos, cruelty, and corruption — while looking forward to the midterms and our opportunity to win back power from the fascists. Now the election is almost here, and it will all come down to what we do over these final five weeks.
Just because something is second nature to you doesn’t mean everyone else has the slightest idea what you’re talking about. Remember, what you’ve known forever and can explain in your sleep may be completely foreign to someone else. #RuthlessRepetition
Funkdafied 🌻🐸 ✊🏼📢⚖️@pretefunkera.bsky.social · 6mo agoI am convinced it’s because repubs simply just repeat themselves FOREVER and Dems are self conscious that others will think they’re annoying, “that’s too aggressive” or “obviously this person knows this already” and barely says some things a few times. What they should do is #RuthlessRepetition
