And as if any of his explicitly anti-democratic antics weren’t enough to underscore why he doesn’t deserve to be in office let alone a promotion, there’s also the sexual abuse he knew about and helped cover up at OSU. Jim Jordan is unequivocally a disgrace to public office.

As an Ohioan let me make it plain: Jim Jordan is a stain on our state, on our country, and on the US House of Representatives. Anyone involved in an insurrection and efforts to overturn an election doesn’t deserve to be in elected office let alone hold the Speaker’s Gavel.

It's a great day for Columbus leaders to wake up and announce ambitious goals to move the city away from the dominance of the automobile. Our kids' summers are being lost. @ColumbusCouncil @MayorGinther @SG_Hardin @lourdesforcbus @RobDorans @CMEVRemy @NickBankston @sdfavor
ps if you’re in a place like Columbus with unhealthy air quality, wear a mask outside; it helps with the headaches and lightheadedness 😓

Columbus political operative Joe Rettof recently tweeted a joke taking delight in the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza. He's been around for a while; let's take a look at who he's worked for. I'm hoping they're not on the "side" of joking about the mass deaths of children.🧵
you don’t get to absolve yourselves of your complicity in supporting illegal maps by suggesting that by doing so you’ve done us voters a favor by leaving it in our hands to decide whether politicians get to draw maps. that’s gaslighting & that that’s the message is fucked.
it’s also infuriating to see that there hasn’t been any discussion abt whether this “tactical move” is one where - per your own slogan - you’re working for us. this move helps incumbents, but does it help your constituents? our communities? our democracy? it does not.
approving maps you know are illegal during a process you admit is bad doesn’t negate your literal vote of support for them. every word after your ‘yes’ vote rings hollow & is a slap in the face to Ohioans & those of us who have poured ourselves into advocating arnd this process.
on so many issues, advocates in Ohio are constantly on defense, working tirelessly just to stop the bleeding & the worst of the harm that comes our way from the GOP. we didn’t need to add onto our oppression the ‘yes’ votes from folks allegedly on our side. it’s no favor to us.
the votes this week have much larger implications than merely if incumbents got their piece of the pie, not least among them whether Ohioans will have the full power of our votes. if you’re mad that you’re getting called out, imagine how we feel in the face of your betrayal.
but if there’s one thing I know about Ohio advocates in the progressive & democracy space, it’s that we know how to fight. this isn’t the first time we’ve taken it on the chin and it won’t be the last. and when we win next year, it‘ll be in spite of (not bc of) these yes votes.
the votes this week have given credence to democracy’s biggest opponent. and at a time when fascism is here & on the rise, we simply cannot afford ceding ground to anti-democratic forces. no short-term, self-interested potential gain is worth it, no matter how you try to spin it.
for more than 4 yrs I and so many others have worked ourselves into the fucking ground to advocate for the fair maps Ohioans are guaranteed in our constitution. we never expected the GOP to deliver, but we did hope the Ds wld hold the line, uphold the law, & defend our democracy.
This is just SO EXCITING 🤩🤩🤩

There should be a merch line for the Householder prosecution.
Some come to Cincinnati for Taylor Swift, others for federal corruption hearings…
And then I oscillate to the other range of emotion, finding myself so enraged at how seemingly quiet most of the legal profession is, including (and maybe especially) law schools, about just how corrupted our courts are becoming. We lawyers owe it to our democracy to fight back.
