I support organizations like American Promise, ACLU, Common Cause, Mass Ranked Choice Voting, and NPV, to protect voting rights, end gerrymandering, and limit the influence of dark money in our democracy. "Voting is a type of prayer..."

Former president Obama reminded U.S. yesterday: “These are not serious people”

Ramaswamy may have pulled his horrible ad featuring Amy Acton's mother, but it doesn’t erase that he publicly punished Acton for the horrible cards she was dealt, which is parents who provided an unsafe, unstable home. His moral compass does not exist and he’s unfit to lead Ohio.

Trump: "Why do we always have to take people from shit house countries? We can't we take people from Norway and Sweden and Denmark? By the way, Denmark gave us Greenland ... what do you take, Venezuela or Greenland? We got them both!"

U.S. citizen Ricardo Gonzalez was brutally detained by ICE in Long Beach while he yelled for help and said his arm was broken. This is a pattern of abuse and violence from ICE. No one is safe and our communities are being terrorized. We need ICE out.

OBAMA: When I was president, all these Republicans are all deficits, deficits, debt, debt. You got to do something about it. And now—$40 trillion—Crickets. Somehow deficits only matter when a Democratic president is in office

nytimes.comIn U.S. Gas Talks With Kremlin, Hidden Financing for Alaska Project EmergesInterviews and documents show a Russian energy giant secretly funded a U.S. firm. The deal has been discussed in talks to end the war in Ukraine.

Well let’s check with ChatGPT: “No, the administration does not have the authority to finalize or guarantee the money. The federal government is strictly prohibited from finalizing financial commitments or guarantees for private projects while mandatory reviews are outstanding” Seems about right.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: No Kings organizer Ezra Levin SOUNDS ALARM after Meta suspended the movement’s Instagram during nationwide protests. LEVIN: “We might be seeing something similar from Meta in our country right now.” “We're not gonna stop organizing against this regime.”

Silencing a nationwide protest on the Early Vote Day of Action is an alarming act of corporate censorship that strikes at the heart of our democracy. Tell @Meta to restore the No Kings Coalition Instagram account immediately.

When Ukraine destroys Russian data centers, hoards of aggressive right-wing bots disappear & the internet becomes friendlier. So much of politics is driven by the internet & so much of the internet is driven by Russians who want to hurt us. Shouldn’t we do something about that, given that we know it

This might seem like a difference of opinion. It is not. It is among the most impeachable things a President can do. If the President can just choose to violate the budget Congress passes, Congress doesn’t have any power.

Pass term limits. Ban congressional stock trading. Overturn Citizens United. Get foreign influence out of our politics. It won't fix everything, but it's a start. We need leaders who are willing to fight to fix the broken system that’s shutting down Alaska.

Sen. Jon Husted represents everything that’s wrong with Washington. He's taken $552,225 from corporate PACs, accepted $116,892 from Epstein co-conspirator Leslie Wexner, and is embroiled in a $60 million bribery scheme—a huge public corruption scandal in Ohio. #MostCorrupt2026 #OHSEN

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

GOP Speaker Mike Johnson just sent the House home for the year without passing a ban on stock trading. A ban on members of Congress cashing in on insider information has bipartisan support and is long overdue. Let's get this done.
