the takeaway from the Zohran Trump meeting is that Trump is a gullible fool who will temporarily bend to the last charismatic person he talked to.
Zohran played him perfectly but that doesn’t mean Trump is good now. He’ll go back to fascism tomorrow morning after he talks to Stephen Miller

That’s the flaw in the Substack model, and why I am deeply thankful to every subscriber.
I hope that eventually we can return to like, a magazine model, and not ask consumers to have to shell out $10 a month to every single writer because it adds up quick.

Probably won't get many hits (me and my small potatoes account), but @mississippifreepress.org is doing yeoman's work back home, much to the chagrin of the entrenched good ol' boy network.
Oh, and @rooster.info up here is a constant burr in the Ohio Statehouse's saddle.

i promise i don’t mean to high horse this but if you’re thinking about giving lizza ten bucks there are a lot of good independent journalists whose work you could subscribe to for a month instead

The problem was, the way Ryan’s ego is set up, he only saw the top dog position as worthy of his vast talents.
I always felt he was better for running for any other statewide office like Treasurer because the Dem bench is so shallow, but I am glad we won't have to worry about him fucking up the Governor's race.

Tim Ryan was reportedly set to declare on Monday before one of his business clients called him, saying they faced nuclear pressure from the Trump Administration to drop him as a client.
It could also be an excuse for Ryan abandoning an uphill battle.

City Council President Shannon Hardin can do this one weird trick if he’s serious about bringing heightened transparency to City Hall.
And weirdly, the trick comes from the Republican-controlled Ohio Statehouse.

Nancy Day-Achauer, and to a lesser extent, Rob Dorans, can try to throw mud on the tactics that produced 100% ACCURATE REPORTING, but we wouldn’t have had to hold court in the street if they had leaked me the allegations in *June*when they learned about them.

After 2.5 hours in Executive Session, Council reconvenes, only to vote to go into Zoning after a 10-minute recess.
Columbus City Council just voted to go into executive session to discuss multiple city settlements about to be paid out—including the $87.5K figure stemming from Emmanuel Remy's clown behavior.

Nancy Day-Achaeur is crying about my methods on FB but this is exactly why I forced the issue three Mondays ago.
The debate is happening in secret. The vote will be an emergency. And if you follow only traditional media, you have no idea it’s happening!!!
And Remy just won another 4-year term!!!
