Ohioans: Support Sherrod Brown! Get into this fight. Crypto bought Bernie Moreno his seat. We cannot let this happen with Husted who currently controls the corrupt Ohio statehouse.

Crypto spent millions to defeat Sherrod Brown and elect allies. It's ready for a repeat in 2026

The cryptocurrency industry spent millions last year to unseat a longtime critic, Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown in Ohio, and install its allies in Washington.

"Since 2022, 30,000 #Ohio children have lost health insurance because of cost concerns, while the state has provided billions to the wealthy in tax cuts and billions to private schools"

This is Ohio with a Republican supermajority. Your kids deserve so much better.

The Republican party is more concerned with appeasing Trump's ego than with serving the American people. #TrumpShutUSDown is a clear demonstration of their priorities: self-interest over the public good.

WildflowersAll @wildflowersall.bsky.social · 3d

Republicans & Trump are 100% responsible if the government shuts down today.

DO NOT fall for MAGAs lies.

Does anyone remember this? I certainly do.
Hold Trump accountable for a shutdown.
Those are his words😉

SenatorWarnock just broke it down: health care is on the line.

A Chatham County family once paid $559/month for coverage—now it’s $2,100 after GOP subsidy cuts. Quadruple the cost just to stay insured.

Trump’s shutdown is abuse of power. Democrats’ CR reins him in: blocks his budget games, ends DHS slush funds, restores ACA subsidies, funds PBS, and installs oversight.

Congress protects people, Trump protects himself.

Rep. Greg Casar: “There are more mentions of Donald Trump in the Epstein Files than there are House Republicans here in Washington D.C. today.”

Casar is on 🔥 and this is exactly the call-out we need.

While 750,000 federal workers go unpaid and moms lose WIC, Trump’s out cheating at golf—on our dime. Families are rationing formula while he’s working on his handicap.

The only thing he’s leading in is hypocrisy. ⛳️

Judges are supposed to be fair and impartial, right? Especially the Supreme Court! But this podcast opened my eyes to some concerning actions from current Justices. Give it a listen. We can shine a light on these things and demand an ethical court! social.redwine.blue/s/Tras8KWf

Senator Warren is right. Republicans should come back to DC and do their jobs. Because if these subsidies don’t get extended it’s their constituents who will be hurt the most.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
