Inside a Hilliard teen’s fascist terror plot

Christopher Cook was sentenced last year in a white supremacist plot to attack the nation’s power grid, capping his evolution from isolated suburbanite to neo-Nazi radical.

New in collab with @columbusmonthly.

are there any republicans left who actually trust democracy or nah

[Ron DeSantis @RonDeSantis]

California keeps dumping votes. Odds are shifting because the vote dumps always seem to go one way.

Count until you get the result you want?

@Juicewag the worst account on here. a purposeful rage factory for the dregs that populate this place.

[ABC News @ABC]

President Trump is floating the possibility of keeping the UFC arena on the White House South Lawn — built for a series of fights on his birthday and Flag Day — permanently.

I take a lot of solace in knowing wemby almost certainly hates this man.

Spurs about to dunk on Knicks like Texas has been dunking on New York.

America has never had ANY elected official that works as hard as President Donald J Trump! He sets an example that all should follow!

Shaq gives Wemby a new nickname after his game 1 performance:

“His American name is Tim Robinson. He played like Tim Duncan and David Robinson. Tim Robinson came to play last night”

ah yes the investigative work of driving a washed racist former baseball player around as he jokes about having spears chucked at him through the door of an area daycare

[Rep. Mike Dovilla @mikedovilla]

The mainstream Ohio media’s loaded questions at this event with @VivekGRamaswamy, @KeithFaber, @Rob_McColley, and @matthuffman1 were the media’s own indictment. Where have THEY been in offering the investigative journalism that a free press is supposed to provide on this and many other policy issues? They are nothing more than the mouthpiece of the Democrat Party. Thank goodness for @lukerosiak and @jackwindsor for doing the work the legacy press refuses to do.

[Andy Downing @andydowning33]

wild that trump endorses the other guy and he still jumps on here to trumpet how closely he aligns with the president and how they're such good buddies

[Senator John Cornyn @JohnCornyn]

I have worked closely with President Trump through both of his Presidential terms and voted with him more than 99% of the time. He has consistently called me a friend in this race. It is now time for Texas Republican voters to decide if they want a strong nominee to help our GOP candidates down ballot and defeat Talarico in November, or a weak nominee who jeopardizes everything we care about. I trust the Republican voters of Texas.

One of the best to do it.

After 11 years, thousands of articles, 11 Taylor Swift album releases, one of the biggest trials in music history and more traumatizing deaths than one pop music editor could fathom, I have decided to leave The New York Times.

“At the end of the day, you, him, that person over there, you’re all probably one, maybe two paychecks away from being in a tent next to me. ... One wrong move, one bad choice, that’s all it takes to be my neighbor, asking for a spot in my campground.”

like calling acton a socialist and dropping her name in a quote tweet doesn’t actually connect her to this, again, if it’s even remotely true.

[Andy Downing @andydowning33]

hey man you realize if any of this is even true that republicans run the state gov at every level here right

[Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy]

This is unacceptable & will end when I’m elected. We will prosecute the lawbreakers & put the saved dollars back in the hands of Ohioans. It’s shameful that socialist Amy Acton appears to condone this by ignoring it.

"if true" but boosts it regardless.

[JD Vance @JDVance]

These shocking allegations, if true, show why the Fraud Task Force’s work is so important. I’m directing the task force to look into it and take immediate action to prosecute any fraudsters involved and stop all further payments as appropriate.

[Andy Downing @andydowning33]

anytime you can stump for someone who settled multiple civil lawsuits alleging sexual misconduct to be immediately named the starting qb for a team you cover you gotta do it.

[Mary Kay Cabot @MaryKayCabot]

With my breaking news here that Deshaun Watson has taken the lead over Shedeur Sanders in the #Browns QB competition and has the inside track to win it, I think they should declare him QB1 asap and let the 1st team offense start to cook. There's no time to waste:
