Message from Issue 1 results is loud & clear: Ohioans are fed up with extremist GOP politicians who ignore the will of the people & care only about gripping their power more tightly. They forced a $15million election to take away our rights—they’ll lose tonight & lose in November
Columbus City Attorney @zmklein gets the biggest cheers of the morning for slamming JD Vance, whom he called "Shady Vance."
“It’s anti-freedom, it’s anti-hope and it’s anti-America," Klein says of the ticket.
"And just like that, we're all awake again," @lizmwalters said.
Vice President Harris: As a former Attorney General and courtroom prosecutor, I took on perpetrators of all kinds. Predators who abused women, fraudsters who ripped off consumers, and cheaters who broke the rules. So hear me when I say, I know Donald Trump's type
Kamala Harris is ready to lead on day one. As Vice President, she helped steer our country away from the disaster of the Trump presidency and deliver historic wins for all Americans. She is proven, experienced and ready to go. She has my full support to be our next President.
My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.
Having known Brigid is an honor. She was the rare combination of brilliant, hardworking, humble, funny, and so KIND. She was such a bright light and a powerful example of being both a leader and a helper. My thoughts are with her loved ones, may she rest in peace 💚
It has been my pleasure these past few days to hear such wonderful stories from so many of you about Brigid Kelly. She died this evening and like you, I can only think that it's way too soon for such a bright light to leave us. https://t.co/K1pF9E3htW
As Columbus continues its historic growth, so too must our efforts to keep problem properties contained. That’s why today we’re making 5️⃣ announcements to expand and track our efforts to clean up problem properties, hold owners accountable, and improve public safety. 🧵
Women are more than half of our population, but as I’ve often asked, why don’t we research women’s health? Why don’t we have answers on women’s health issues such as breast cancer, menopause, Alzheimer’s, and so much more. That’s why I’ve been honored to work with @FLOTUS on the first-ever White House Initiative on Women’s Health Research. And as @POTUS announced tonight, he is calling for a $12 Billion plan to transform women’s health research and benefit millions of lives across America! Click here to learn more about this initiative and how you can get involved. #StateOfTheUnion

This morning, city prosecutors filed charges against an individual who was caught on camera urinating on a pride flag and shouting homophobic slurs outside a home in Weinland Park. These charges send a clear message: 𝗛𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗻𝗼 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗯𝘂𝘀.
Columbus residents devastated by gun violence can’t afford to wait any longer for something to change. That’s why we’re asking @OHSupremeCourt to weigh in on the City’s right to enforce commonsense gun safety measures to keep our kids and communities safe.
Under an environment of legal paranoia created by extremist Ohio law, her nurses failed her, local police failed her, and the county prosecutor's office failed her, but at least an Ohio grand jury saw the extraordinary injustice of prosecuting a woman for having a miscarriage.
This is an appreciation tweet for @lizmwalters and the @OHDems. Their work on the ballot measures has been visionary—building grassroots organizing infrastructure not only to win, but to prepare to re-elect @SherrodBrown in 2024. Huge kudos from WI to the heroes of Ohio.
Ohio House Speaker Jason Stephens: “I remain steadfastly committed to protecting life, and that commitment is unwavering. The legislature has multiple paths that we will explore to continue to protect innocent life. This is not the end of the conversation.”
On Wed, Oct 4, federal safety officials plan to test the U.S. Emergency Alert System. I'm echoing calls from advocates urging domestic violence survivors with hidden safety phones to power down their devices during this test to avoid inadvertently revealing the device to abusers.
If Ohio GOP leaders had a shred of concern for their duty as representative public servants their statement would be four words long: “The People have spoken.”
