Wow! DeWine condemns ad

David Pepper@davidpepperoh.bsky.social

Republican Governor Mike DeWine just called on Vivek Ramaswamy to pull his repulsive attack ad. Ramaswamy’s gutter politics are beyond shameful. He will lose in 12 days and it will be because Ohioans know he is a pathetic man who is not fit to lead.

Hakeem Jeffries cannot become speaker in 2027. It would be a colossal waste of power and opportunity for Dems to elevate him again. They need to choose someone stronger and preferably isn’t to the right of the vast majority of American voters on healthcare.

Ohio's Senate race could flip control. Sherrod Brown delivered full Social Security for 2 million workers & capped insulin costs—but Repubs are spending record amounts to beat him. If OH falls, the Senate falls. Your move matters here. Elect Sherrod Brown! #ResistanceUnited #Pinks #OneV1 #ProudBlue

Pro-Palestine activists unfurled a giant Palestinian flag and a banner on London's Tower Bridge, calling for the release of gravely ill Gaza hospital director Dr Hussam Abu Safia from Israeli detention, where he has been held for more than 500 days.

Dear Dem leaders: If you must speak, express your condolences to Lindsey Graham's family. That's it. This isn't hard. They mocked the attack on Paul Pelosi and the murders of Minnesota Dem Melissa Hortman and her husband. They villainized ICE murder victims. Stop acting like these are normal times.

I don’t mind paying taxes when they pay for roads and schools and healthcare and libraries and post offices and fire services. I don’t like paying taxes when they pay for Trump enrichment schemes or golden ballrooms or bombs to drop on girls’ schools.

It’s about time the press started scrutinizing why Platner was embraced by the party with so many red flags. "This reckoning by the Democratic Party over how a man who has so much baggage …has been tolerated and embraced and permitted to stay in this critical race." - Nicolle Wallace

Whoa! The West is a brutal reminder that you can’t negotiate with climate change. 70% of the West’s water supply depends on mountain snowpack. This year, record warmth and the “March Meltdown” turned that natural reservoir into a trickle.

There is a gang of pedophilia out there & have been in control for a long time. Although the GOP is riddled with them, I fear it is not limited to them. They must be found, charged, perp walked, & handed down the stiffest of sentences. Each. And. Every. One. Regardless of what aisle they sit.

We must never stop talking about the Epstein Files. We must never stop talking about the Epstein Files. We must never stop talking about the Epstein Files. No matter what.

When I'm looking for good books on entertainment, I go to the mzs.com bookstore. I'm a repeat customer. They have a fantastic selection and some of my favorite books on TV are those by @mattzollerseitz.bsky.social, who I can't believe got laid off because he's so good at his job. Help him out!

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

Trump's reckless & avoidable war on Iran and it has already cost taxpayers more than $5 BILLION. $5 BILLION down the drain in less than a week on a war Americans don’t want. But somehow we don't have money for health care or housing.

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for. Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."

So disappointed in you. Have voted for you for council and now Congress. Will be voting against you in the primary. At least come on here and have a conversation with your constituents like AOC does.
