Ohio State’s Dr. Strauss whistleblower Michael DiSabato has issued a statement about House Republicans crowning Jim Jordan as their leader.

[CantStopPoppin @CantStopPoppin]

For anyone who hasn't heard about this yet: ICE showed up at the front door of Dr. Ann Lawani in Lodi, California, while she was still in her pajamas, shackled her at the wrists, waist, and ankles, and shipped her all the way to a detention center in Louisiana.

She’s a frontline nurse who worked through the worst of COVID, directs the master's nursing program at the University of San Francisco (overseeing 230+ nursing students), and takes care of her 83-year-old dad.

When her family and lawyer tried to find out where she was taken, ICE’s online locator came back with "0 results." It turns out ICE quietly changed its policy the day before her arrest to stop listing thousands of detainees in the public database, so her family had no idea where she was for days while she was bounced from Stockton to Bakersfield to El Paso to Louisiana.

DHS put out a statement claiming she had a 2013 removal order, but they conveniently left out that on the *exact same day* in 2013, an immigration judge granted her Withholding of Removal blocking her deportation to Nigeria because she faced persecution there.

She has zero criminal record, has checked in with ICE for 13 years, and has a valid federal work permit through 2029. Because they legally can't send her to Nigeria, Rep. Josh Harder says ICE has been trying to quietly deport her to an undisclosed third country behind her lawyer's back.

I just watched Governor-elect @amyactonoh sit across from Lawrence O'Donnell, and I had to set the remote down.

Think about where she started.

A little girl on the north side of Youngstown, in a steel town that had already learned what it means to be left behind. Eighteen homes before she turned twelve. Nights without heat. Nights without a home at all.

Hunger that sits in a child's stomach like a stone. Abuse no child should ever have to carry, and grown-ups who saw it and looked away.

She has said the worst part wasn't the hunger or the cold. It was feeling invisible.
Life handed that little girl every reason to harden. Every reason to close her fists and keep them closed. To decide the world was cruel and act accordingly.

She didn't.

She opened her hands instead. She worked her way through Youngstown State and medical school. She became a doctor for children. She raised six kids. And when a pandemic came roaring through Ohio and fear was everywhere, she stood at that podium every day and told people the truth with a steady voice and a kind heart. She took the threats. She took the protesters outside her home. She kept caring anyway.

Two weeks before this election, her opponent put her own estranged mother in a television ad to call her a liar. Imagine that. The wound you've carried since childhood, broadcast across your state for votes.

She could be bitter. She has earned bitter.
Instead, she is hopeful. Gentle. Fierce. Still choosing people.

And Ohio chose her back. The first woman ever elected governor of Ohio.

My daughter Charlotte is six. One day she will learn that the world is not always fair. That people can be cruel. That life can knock you down before you're old enough to stand.

When that day comes, I'm going to tell her about Amy Acton.

I'm going to tell her that what happens to you does not get to decide who you become. That the way you see the world, and the way you treat the people in it, is yours to choose. Always. That a little girl living in the margins can grow up to lead a state, and do it with her heart wide open.

Ohio is in good hands. Gentle, strong, healing hands.

Tonight my heart feels whole.

Push.

@RpsAgainstTrump @SenHydeSmith Just think, if you had allowed Senator Elect Colom to be a federal judge, you would still be a Senator. Karma's a bitch isn't it? Looks like you're in the find out phase of FAFO.

Congratulations Senator Colom. I'm screaming from the rooftop 😭 So Proud to have been a part of history in the making. They made us jump through Hoops to Vote but We Prevailed through the Madness. Your Vote Does Count Never Forget That 😁🤩🥰👏

[Denisa @Denisa719]

Karma's a bitch, isn't it, @SenHydeSmith?

Looks like Mississippians picked another senator LOL.

[Dublin for Don ☘️ @dublin4don]

Don Leonard honoring our Veterans and promising to fight for them in our district.

A number of the volunteers in his campaign are veterans. Genuine people who wanted a better future for their children and grandchildren.

@SecWar 53 days and counting...

[Denisa @Denisa719]

@WhiteHouse Petey was reprimanded today. Doesn't surprise me. Nothing that the #DementedMalignantNarcissist's sycophants do surprises me anymore.

[Denisa @Denisa719]

@WhiteHouse

[Denisa @Denisa719]

Fuck you, @SecWar Crimes

Reprimanded at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. You know better. Or at least you "should" know better.

But anything the #DementedMalignantNarcissist's sycophants do doesn't surprise me anymore.
This is just a reminder, 53 days and counting...

[Not Your Average Liberal @NotAvgLiberal]

This mother fucker Pete Hegseth, his bitch wife and asshole friends…

Taking group pictures and LAUGHING at the Tomb of The Unknown Soldier.

READ THAT AGAIN…

LAUGHING AT THE TOMB OF THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER!

On Veteran’s Day.

@PeteHegseth Fuck You.

[Dublin for Don ☘️ @dublin4don]

Thank you @AOC for speaking out. While she cannot comment on Don Leonard’s situation, she talks about how the establishment tried to take her down for standing up.

This mafia shit happens in Washington. Money out of politics is the solution.

[Denisa @Denisa719]

This is one of your constituents on the far south side of Columbus. Thank you so much for staying your ground and representing us. I stand behind You 100 percent. By the way I lived on the West Side for many years and I know the area that you're from. My husband grew up on the West Side.

[Dr. Amy Acton @amyactonoh]

Today, we honor the brave men and women who have served our country with courage, sacrifice, and an unwavering commitment to something greater than themselves.

To Ohio's veterans and their families: thank you for your service. Happy Veterans Day! 🇺🇸
