Ohioans are overwhelmingly opposed to giving sweetheart tax breaks to these trillion dollar companies, but that's exactly what Jon Husted did when he gave $2.5 billion to Big Tech to make sure they brought data centers to Ohio.

More than half of all VA medical centers are now reporting severe staffing shortages. 97% of facilities can't fully staff their doctors, and 58% can't hire enough psychologists. The Trump administration has cut roughly 30,000 VA jobs. Now, Veterans are paying the price. @repvindman.bsky.social

Regular reminder that Russia has been doing everything it can think of to Ukraine for years. And Russia has tried the “now we’re going to *really* fight, you’ll be sorry” move many times too. No doubt Russia will hit Ukraine hard this winter. But no, it’s not because “look what you made me do.”

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

When the “censorship industrial complex” myth was just getting started, in Fall 2022, I got a public records request from the AG’s office of Missouri looking for all my emails related to my team’s election rumor research. The Missouri AG at that time? Eric Schmitt. What a tool.

What use was it to bring the writer and activist Chanel Miller to campus in the spring just for fraternity brothers to scroll, bored, on their phones as she movingly shared her experience as Emily Doe, the victim of Brock Turner? As I wrote at the time, I was floored and dismayed as I sat in the audience with one of my brilliant undergraduates; we heard Miller’s shattering account of being sexually assaulted by Turner behind a dumpster at Stanford University after a fraternity party. Her talk was riveting, and there was so much to learn from it. And yet many of the male students who hailed predominantly from fraternities — 15 percent of each chapter was required to be in attendance — were so tuned out that Miller commented ruefully: “You know, this has been my hardest gig, because they didn’t turn down the house lights. I’m not sure how you professors do it, because it’s so hard looking out at this sea of mildly disgruntled faces. I mean, I’m sure you’re all very moved, but …,” Miller smiled. The implication being, it didn’t seem like it, from her angle.

Schmidt better never mention this outside the Senate since this is as clear a case of malice aforethought and reckless disregard for the truth as you get. He has immunity for saying it in committee but any reference to it at a press event should get a multi million dollar defamation lawsuit.

"Former Republican Congressman Denver Riggleman to Endorse Tom Perriello, Launch “Republicans for Tom Perriello” Coalition

NELSON COUNTY, VA — On Monday, former Republican Congressman Denver Riggleman will join Tom Perriello in Afton to endorse Perriello for Congress and launch Republicans for Tom Perriello, a coalition of Republicans from across Virginia’s Fifth District backing Perriello in November.

Riggleman, who represented the Fifth District as a Republican from 2019 to 2021, will discuss his decision to back Perriello, including concerns about rising costs, political corruption, and threats to democratic institutions, and why he believes Republicans and Independents across the District should reject Rep. John McGuire and support Perriello in November."
