Women are dying preventable deaths because of anti-abortion laws. It's what happened in the 1960s before Roe v. Wade passed in 1973. Women need access to lifesaving healthcare no matter what state we live in.

John Legend: "When Vivek Ramaswamy hears of an indicted child abuser who fled the state rather than face charges, instead of siding with the victim, he takes the side of the abuser…Do we want a man with this sort of depraved moral compass to lead our state?"

This was an article in the New York Times two years ago.
He’s done all of it.

Jon Husted voted once to hide the Epstein files, 9 times to cut your health care, and 14 times to continue the Iran War.
You only get one chance to vote him out, don't miss it.

Jon Husted had 14 opportunities to lower costs for Ohioans by ending this costly war in Iran but he voted against it every single time.

Public lands don't belong to politicians, oil companies, corporations, or billionaires.
They belong to the public.
Our lands. Our vote.

Who was it that started a reckless war in the Middle East & closed the Strait of Hormuz—pushing gas prices through the roof?
@JDVance, your party controls the White House, Congress, and the Supreme Court. It’s not Democrats who created this mess. It’s you.

A governor’s only priority should be making life better for Ohioans. That’s why I sold all of my individual stocks over 6 months ago so that no Ohioan would ever have to worry about where my priorities lie.
Meanwhile, Vivek Ramaswamy has refused to sell his holdings in data centers and other industries Ohio’s governor will be responsible for regulating. Ramaswamy is only out for himself. The longer he refuses to put Ohioans before his own stock portfolio, the clearer that becomes.

Trump's former Press Secretary, @Scaramucci says that Trump has been compromised by Vladimir Putin and he's an "agent of Putin."

Cruelty is the point: Rachel Maddow is reporting 10 million Americans will be kicked off Medicaid on Jan 1, and 20 million more will be ruined by skyrocketing ACA premiums.
The Trump regime's timing is pure barbarism. It was designed to brutalize regular Americans by pulling the rug out from under people the second the midterms ended and all the votes were locked in — with ZERO fucks given to the human suffering it will cause.
Forcing working class families to choose between buying food and losing life-saving healthcare isn't just a cynical Republican policy decision, it's a cruel and sadistic betrayal of 30 million Americans.

I have a PhD in microbiology & teach it at the college-level. In the classroom, I teach about the scientific method & how important it is to follow the evidence. In Congress, I’ll fight to protect scientific research, defend public health, and make sure facts guide our decisions.

Make no mistake, Donald Trump is aligning our country with Putin and against Ukraine.
Every spineless, complicit, cuckholding piece of shit Republican who lies and says they “stand with freedom”, needs to go.
Vote them all out.
VOTE.

🇺🇦 Zelenskyy delivers a blunt message to the United States:
“Just give us Starlink back. If you refuse, Ukraine will survive. We will continue defending ourselves with or without it.
But why would you restrict a country fighting for its survival? Why make it harder for us to defend our people?
I simply cannot understand the reasoning behind this decision. It is a mistake.”
Ukraine isn’t asking America to fight its war. It’s asking America not to stand in the way of its defense.
