Ohioans are sick and tired of the corruption they’ve come to expect from our politicians like Jon Husted.

New in PN: Why fixing America is much harder than fixing Hungary "I warned in 2020 that it would be dangerous to let Trump go out like Nixon, and the Biden administration’s subsequent decision to pursue healing instead of accountability turned out to be disastrous." — @brynntannehill.bsky.social

A must-read thread 🧵

“Who wants to join me & my dad for a walkies of the Kubota Japanese Garden in Seattle?!” 🧵

I sat down with Heather Brown-Richardson for ‘Out in STL’ last week to discuss my perspective on the challenges facing our LGBTQ community in Missouri. For me it’s simple it’s about the freedom to live your life and raise your children without the government and extremist politicians dictating how.

Instead of allowing the biggest liar to bluster through debates, networks should incorporate instant factchecking after each candidate’s comments. Microphones would be silenced and the moderator would state which claims were correct, and which were false. Good for democracy and good for ratings.

No other reporter spoke up.

Rep. Derrick Van Orden: "Citizens have the right to peacefully protest, I just wish they knew what they were talking about. There have been no cuts to Medicaid or Medicare." (He's lying -- the "Big Beautiful Bill" cut $1 trillion from Medicaid.)

Remember this in November. The GOP is all in.

To those of you who sat out the last election, this is what you get.

The Speaker of the House in Alabama calls on the courts to “overturn the 14th Amendment.” This is the same legislative body, a court found engaged in intentional racial discrimination in drawing voting maps in the Milligan case. x.com/austinpratt_...
