Ohioans know that the reason property taxes are up across our state is because of the GOP statehouse. (Eg. Vivek’s running mate)
For years, they've handed out money to special interests, pushed the burden down to property taxpayers, and hoped that nobody notices.
Same trick, year after year.

Ossoff: "POTUS called for this man [Mark Kelly] to be hanged. A combat veteran, naval aviator, astronaut, senator. He demanded his execution bc he stated a principle enshrined in uniform code of military justice. If we become numb to that we lose sight of how extraordinary our obligations are."

I know people keep saying this but it’s hard to communicate the depth of active resistance here. Like, I’m on random cafes and people are checking in for observation shifts. Signs everywhere. Folks in visibility vests on the corners. It’s wild. Absolutely wild.

"Should we vote to give more money to the people shooting my constituents in the face?" is not a complicated political question. And yet, Democrats don't seem able to answer it.

Just got off the phone with my US Representative’s office, urging her to vote “NO” on DHS funding and do everything in her power to rein in ICE.
Was simple to do, quick, and it was way more impactful than doomscrolling or angry posting.

I think there is a very simple response from any Dem leader directly questioned regarding defunding ICE.
"Look, any unregulated activities which violate the Constitution, kill and kidnap US citizens, and kidnap children should not be funded. That should not be limited to ICE."

Jack Smith looked Congress in the eye and said it: Trump’s criminal activity was proven beyond a reasonable doubt. He’d prosecute any former president on the same facts, party be damned.

Bipartisan negotiators released a DHS funding bill that does not significantly reduce ICE and CBP’s funding nor rein in the agencies’ abuses of power.
Make no mistake: Any Democrat who votes for this bill is complicit in Trump’s campaign of terror.
Grow a spine and vote no.

It is shameful, illegal & unconstitutional that the DOJ has released 1% of the files. Where is the pressure to get Pam Bondi to release the files?"
