a growing number of Americans — even the employed and college educated — are fearful for themselves and their children. They’re tired of hearing bad news, fearful of AI, losing hope, and if no one is going to respect their feelings, let alone help, then, well maybe smashing it all provides an opportunity for a fresh start.

Dear Ohio:
Florida is *not* the state we want as a role model. Do better. (May I suggest Michigan?)

“Instead of bickering amongst themselves,” said Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, “Republicans should do their damn job and vote on the important issues facing our nation.”
"will Ohio Republican lawmakers agree to simply move the deadline again like before? When there’s nothing in it for them except good and normal governance in promotion of free and fair elections? I wouldn’t count on it."
"Of course, a wealth tax alone isn’t enough to ensure the safety of our democracy. We also need campaign finance reform to limit political spending. And stronger labor unions could prevent extreme concentrations of wealth from occurring in the first place"

"Trump is weak, not strong. He’s struggling to raise money. He’s facing an unprecedented revolt inside his party.. The RNC is in disarray and months behind Biden organizationally without enough time to make it up."

"It is vital that Americans understand: Project 2025 is already happening in many red states."

"new legislative maps approved with bipartisan support last fall suggest Democrats have a shot at a net gain of as many as six seats, potentially creating a bit less of a GOP supermajority"
"If Republicans are given unfettered power, they won’t need to care about subtlety. They can implement much of Project 2025’s policy proposals with ruthless confidence on Day 1 of a new Republican administration. Who will stop them?"

“Risking your presidential legacy and the reputation of our nation around the world to enable the Netanyahu government’s genocide has been a disastrous decision,” they wrote to Biden. “We implore you to reverse course before thousands more die.”
Portman took the easy way out. His cowardice allowed Trump to escape conviction in 2021 and plan his vengeful authoritarian return to power in 2024. Portman knew better. They all did. But it took courage to convict an immoral and dangerous ex-president. They made excuses to let him off the hook.
"The 90-day deadline was set in 2010.. But in 2012 when both major parties’ conventions would have fallen after the deadline, lawmakers changed the deadline for that year only"
the same Gallup poll that showed Americans losing confidence in Biden’s leadership qualities in the past four years also found its respondents more favorably inclined toward Trump on a variety of indicators.. Apparently, the country is suffering from collective memory loss on an epic scale.

Blog thoughts from a pal of mine. Check him out if you care to:

"this individual’s suspected social media activity is part of a trend: Trump supporters espousing anti-government rhetoric and conspiracy theories — often echoing Trump’s own statements — that decide to take violent action against public officials."
"This community has been un-necessarily plunged into conflict. Citizens have a right to know that Frasier is offering a WIN-WIN solution whereby solar panels peacefully co-exist with the continued agricultural use of land."
"Largely backed by GOP lawmakers, bills affecting drag performances have often surfaced during election cycles, experts pointed out, deployed to mobilize conservative voter bases."
"The plaintiffs ask the court to issue preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to stop the state from enforcing these restrictions, and to declare them to be unconstitutional under Ohio’s right to reproductive freedom."
Seems to me, if Matt Huffman is against it, you know it would do something for the people of Ohio.
