Before you fill out your ballot, get to know what's on it. Go to vote411.org to learn about the candidates, the offices they're running for, Early Vote center and polling place info, important deadlines, and Ohio-specific election rules.

Also, it could turn out that the studies so far are all wrong, and AI is generally great for the mind! A real boon to learning, imagination and cognitive growth. But I would have expected some clear scientific evidence of this by now. That being said...

In this moment, in the run-up to these midterm elections, it’s clear our country is poised on an even more perilous political moment. Our Virtual & Accessible GOTV Rally is where and when we join up to launch our brave sprint to win at the finish line on November 3rd. 🧵
The graphic contains a photo of the Statue of Liberty, various science fighters, and symbols of resistance emerging from a laptop screen, and the No Kings & Stand Up for Science logos. The graphic reads: "Virtual & Accessible GOTV Rally, with ASL & Spanish interpretation. 10/17/26 at 12 pm EST. Show Up. Fight Back. GET OUT THE VOTE!"

Ohio voters being told that if we can determine the future of our country. Okay! Let’s do it! Look at these three smiling politicians (only one of whom is on the ballot in Ohio). Early voting starts today in Ohio.
A campaign flyer with three incredibly photogenic images of AOC, Mamdani and Sherrod Brown all smiling and looking friendly that says: 

IF YOU DON'T VOTE,
YOU ARE HANDING THE SENATE TO THE
EXTREME LEFT
OHIO IS GOING TO DETERMINE THE FUTURE OF OUR COUNTRY.
Your vote is the only thing stopping the radical Left from taking over.
STOP A DEMOCRAT TAKEOVER BEFORE THEY:
Impeach Trump Day #1
Eliminate the increased Standard Deduction
Reinstate taxes on tips and overtime
Slash the Senior Bonus Deduction
Create chaos, lawlessness, and a flood of
illegal immigration

If you want some backstory as to TN and lethal injection. I wrote at length in 2018 as TN sought to restart executions using a new protocol — a method it has since replaced. It’s not an exaggeration to say that when it comes to lethal injection, states have always been making it up as they go along.

Chilling Testimony in a Tennessee Trial Exposes Lethal Injection as Court-Sanctioned Torture
The trial was a case study in the twisted legacy of Glossip v. Gross — and a chilling look at the botched executions that continue amid little controversy.

What a great PSA for *not* using Gen AI for your health information: “If somebody tells you, ‘Masks work, trust the experts,’ A.I. may tell you otherwise… if somebody tells you that a vaccine will prevent transmission and infection… A.I. may say it actually doesn’t do that.”

On Tuesday, GOP senator Jon Husted said it was time to end Trump’s illegal war. But two days later, Husted voted against a resolution to end Trump’s illegal war. His spinelessness in service of a wannabe king is one of the many reasons why Husted is about to lose his job in November.
