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...

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.

The first guy in this ad reminds me of my straight-talking dad. I love him for that.

I am grateful that Amy Acton is safe, and hope those who were injured recover quickly. What a terrifying moment. www.wlwt.com/article/amy-...

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...

So many thoughts. I’ll share just one: Thank you, Sherrod Brown, for being the honorable public servant who makes your family proud, always.

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...

Head high, Scott Pelley, eyes forward.

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."

Oh good. A tutorial right now from former Fox employee Hegseth on how to do journalism.

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”

Let’s please resist sharing the racist image posted by the current president of the United States. And let us remember that we are allies in the fight for justice always, or not at all. We must condemn this, loudly and without equivocation. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/u...

A perfect start to my day. Congratulations, Thrity Umrigar. Your new novel, Missing Sam, is a gift for our weary souls.

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.

Ali Velsi @velshi.com and the @ms.now team are doing an outstanding job with breaking news coverage of this horrendous scene in Minneapolis.

Patriots.

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.

My Lord, this rudderless rant by the Embarrassment in Chief.

The things we now have to explain.

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.

Sometimes, I run out of walk before I run out of worry. Still, I’m grateful for the view. What’s on your mind this evening?

At 4:43 a.m., he decided the only place he could sleep was in my study, so this is where we are. For fourteen years he has followed me everywhere. My turn. Franklin is snoring.

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.

Yelling, lying; yelling, lying; yelling, lying. So inspiring.
