Tomorrow is the deadline to register to vote or update your registration in Ohio. If you’ve moved or changed your name, updating now will avoid potentially needing to vote provisional in November. Also a good time to double check your drivers license isn’t expiring before November!

Woman accusing Sherrod Brown of forcing transgender surgeries isn’t from Ohio, didn’t have procedure as minor
In an attack ad against U.S. Senate candidate Sherrod Brown, a woman accuses the Democrat of pushing transgender surgeries on minors "like her." She didn't have surgery until she was an adult.

Please don't give the DA reopening the Cornell case any cookies. District Attorney Matthew Van Houten all but called Jane Doe a liar today. He said that in Doe's initial statement, she described "her participation in drug use and sexual conduct as voluntary, conscious, and consensual.” CONSENSUAL

Here's how we get Medicare for All done: Make Medicare whole (no one can keep all the parts straight!) Include vision, dental, and hearing. Begin extending to more people, starting with children. We arrive at Medicare for All, which means great Medicare for everyone.

A lot of things make me feel kind of dumb, including how to take at face value the logic of “we are a multibillion dollar transnational industry building a vengeful elder god, and we definitely won’t stop unless you regulate us the way we want, which is a secret.”

The only way you should be shocked by these results is if you are just now waking from a coma which was brought on by an unfortunate fall you suffered as your body involuntarily bucked and quivered to the infectious beat of ‘Scatman’ as it blanketed the air waves in November of 1994.

Thank god Rs don’t literally control every branch of govt and that laws and rules don’t apply to them. Otherwise their 40 year record of refusing to take responsibility for a single thing might really come back to bite them. Especially with all the wars they’ve started. Ah, well, nevertheless.

Bruh. ICE agents beat a man on the streets, determined he wasn't who they were looking for, and left him laying on the ground in need of an ambulance. Jesus. There should be *serious* consequences, but sadly there will be none.

i am genuinely bewildered by people who say that the rise of white nationalism in the republican party is a response to the "woke left." like, did the woke left cause pat buchanan's 1992 presidential campaign? is the woke left why steve king had a long career in congress?

This is idiotic. I was driving when this was last law for all drivers. 8 hours off means between 4-6 hours sleep per night. Not only does it make for a miserable life outside of work, but now we are making the drivers of the most dangerous loads tired and less aware. Absolutely ridiculous.
