So COSI’s leadership decided to endorse Vivek Ramaswamy for governor, I guess it runs in line with them closing for DeWine to have a private visit. We had gone a couple months ago and planned another visit next month, not anymore.
#Ohio #OH #Columbus #ColumbusOhio #Cbus #CoSi #Vivek #VivekRamaswamy

It’ll never end if leaders keep kissing the ring.

Dr. Bertley, CEO of COSI cozying up to Vivek the same day Dewine signs SB1. The irony of this photo op & what this means for future generations is too much. Such a disappointment on so many levels, especially for the kids in Ohio.

From Reddit r/Columbus.

This is what Trump and Republicans don’t understand.

While they think they’re punishing Democrats, they’re hurting everyone – including their own constituents.

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that.

No phones, no staff, nothing.

I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)

Jeffries: "The notion that the No Kings rallies are anything but a patriotic act consistent w.the 1A right to express yourself & petition the govt for change in policy continues to reveal that Republicans are clueless as it relates to the Constitution, or they continue to lie for political reasons."

Sanders: Saturday, millions of people are going to come out on a No Kings day. Speaker Johnson said this is a hate America rally because people are coming out expressing their concerns.. It’s not a hate America rally, it's a love America rally.

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis

Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today.

We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

Reports and video show flash-bangs thrown into piles of debris just before a car caught fire, strongly suggesting it was law enforcement, not protesters, who sparked it. More details are coming. Don’t let them control the narrative. Thank you to everyone sharing footage, always record everything.

Mr. Authoritarian President, why weren’t you as interested in upholding “very strong law and order” during the insurrection on the Nation’s Capital as you are now in LA? Was your inaction then a result of your having incited the insurrection? #WeMustImpeachTrump!

MUST WATCH: ICE kidnapped a disabled American citizen.

Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy.

She’s lived here 48 years.
They crashed her wheelchair, denied meds, cut her off from her lawyer—and jailed her.

She. Is. A. Citizen.

So glad we have these antiscience idiots running the country and removing people and things in the name of efficiency and profit because they don’t know what they do. You don’t fix a sick patient by cutting out their brain because you aren’t sure how it works abd it consumes the most energy.

THIS IS TERRIFYING‼️

Dr. Peter Marks, former head of vaccines at the FDA, just had his last day—forced to resign or be fired because he wouldn’t lie about vaccines.

He gives a chilling warning: the U.S. is unprepared for biowarfare—because the response team has been gutted.
