It’s unfortunate that, in a year the Ohio Democratic Party struggled to fill its statewide ticket, we’ll lose a dynamic and respectable candidate, no matter the result of the primary. But now is the time for bold action and moral clarity. Hambley went to work when seemingly no other Democrat in the state had interest in the high-stakes job. That nascent courage sparked a campaign that’s been a testament to the tenacity he will bring to the Secretary of State’s office. Hambley shoved my early skepticism down my throat and earned my admiration long ago. But after months of internal deliberation, he has more than earned my vote in the May primary.

Why I'm voting for a leukemia doctor as Ohio's next Secretary of State: Dr. Bryan Hambley showed the direct action and moral clarity that the Democratic Party needs in these troubled times.

reminder that the number one issue that the press covered in 2016, the one they told voters was THE MOST IMPORTANT thing in the election, was Hillary Clinton's compliance with Presidential Records Act record-keeping

“Lifeless… foam around his mouth. Nobody wants to see their kids like that.”

ICE attacked a family trying to LEAVE the besieged neighborhood and hospitalized a 6 month old baby that couldn’t breathe.

Let it unleash a thousand memes.

I call this one: "Donald Trump stands idly by while the American economy passes out in a corner."

The perfect metaphor for the MAHA agenda

God, I hope so!!!

Rapid Response 47 @RapidResponse47 · 2m You can thank demented losers like @PattyMurray and @SenatorCantwell for this completely unnecessary, avoidable mess. They are truly sick.

your hard-earned tax dollars are paying for a White House social media account that calls duty elected senators "demented losers."

it's totally unacceptable and a disgrace.

Trump just stands there like an old fool - pissed off at the interruption and mad he is no longer the center of attention.

WTF?!?

Really worth reading the entire 60 minutes interview transcript but admit this part got me laughing out loud.

Chicago woman dragged out of her car after colliding with ICE demands accountability The arrest of Dayanne Figueroa highlights growing concerns about the use of force against U.S. citizens and due process. She was released after a few hours without charges.

Agents forcibly opened her door and pulled her out of the vehicle by her legs without identifying themselves, presenting a warrant or informing her that she was under arrest. As bystanders yelled, “You hit her! We have it on video!” agents ignored the crowd and forced her into a van and drove away.

And again, a pattern of putting out statements accusing people of serious Federal crimes and then releasing them hours or days or weeks later with no charges. And no retraction.

nothing could go wrong with that, right?

Exactly. Show him his post first. Put it up on a screen. Then ask him virtually any question about any word, phrase, or sentence in it.

Chicago No Kings

Disgraceful.

Honestly love that the vibe here on a late Friday night going into the last weekend of summer is “gosh I really hope he’s dead, we’re gonna throw one hell of a party”

Seriously, where?!?

Is he dead or off invading a country or what other than answering questions about pedophiles in power.

I will delete this, but can somebody tell me why everybody thinks he croaked? Is it just the many days off and the weird playlist on the lawn earlier today, plus the references to heaven and the hand bruising that we already knew about? Or is there something else?

Applebaum on Autocracy Anne Applebaum warns that Sudan’s descent into chaos shows what happens when institutions fail—and why a free press is essential to prevent America from following the same path.

Anne Applebaum: "If American media can’t convey how dangerous this behavior is—for our prosperity, for our health, for our democracy—then American media will eventually cease to exist."
