Gun violence touches so many people in our community, including those who try to help the victims. I spent a night in MetroHealth's ER reporting on the impact this epidemic of violence has on so many hospital workers. https://t.co/THf2280vOc

Today I’m thinking about my colleagues at Ohio’s public radio stations, who cover a range of stories from big and breaking news to lighter fare, and dive into to issues not covered elsewhere. Here’s a🧵with some examples, starting w @Ideastream

Northeast Ohio: Do you have concerns about how cuts in the "Big Beautiful Bill" will impact you or your community? I'd love to connect to learn more for coverage we're working on at @Ideastream. Shoot me a message or email: [email protected]. Thanks!

@AbigailBottar Nice work!

A woman who was 17 weeks pregnant cried for help from her cell, but was left there for hours. She miscarried on her cell floor. https://t.co/g7zdeEQGiI

"Deny, deny, deny. That's how you hit your numbers."

Read @propublica's seminal series on how insurance giants like United and Cigna systematically, cruelly—and very, very profitably—deny health coverage every day, at the expense of patients' lives.

Mark Kelly says both support for his preferred presidential candidate and the issues of immigration and the wars in Ukraine and Israel motivated him to vote this election.

Happy Election Day! I’m out in Cuyahoga County talking with voters about what this election means to them. Here’s what people are saying: @Ideastream

Hinkley voter Gina Smith voted Trump and yes on Issue 1. She said she didn’t have time to research issue 1 and hit yes after scanning the language on the ballot.

Some theatrics in Brecksville. One guy was driving around blasting a wacky Trump song, one man angrily tore down a Trump lawn sign on his way to vote. Campaigners quickly put it back up.

[Taylor Wizner @twizner]

Overall this morning: long lines reported at the two locations I was at. One guy said he waited 15 minutes and had to leave to make it to work. Reproductive rights and immigration top issues. A lot of positive energy about coming together to vote.
