In the wake of jd vance admitting he ‘created’ the pet-eating story, and as a result of the very real threats the communities and people he has targeted are now under…
I am calling on him to RESIGN as our Senator.
Vance claims he and Trump have to "create stories" about migrants eating cats and dogs "so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people."
There is then some awkward dead air as Bash tries to highlight the absurdity of what he just said
This is a friendly reminder that Ohio House Republicans are advancing a bill to teach BOTH SIDES OF THE HOLOCAUST.
Community note
A Republican member of the Ohio legislature recently said, of education about this topic, that perhaps students could hear the perspective of a German soldier in addition to others.
These comments were criticized by the Republican House speaker.

The fact that he’s trying to distance himself from this tells you 100% he knows how damaging it could be to his candidacy. And that it’s going to happen if he’s elected.
Vote accordingly.
I’ve watched a lot of debates in my life. I have never witnessed a complete, utter and total dismantling like @TimRyan just did to @JDVance1.
That’s my guy. 🇺🇸
I’ve admired and defended @elonmusk for many years. I drive a Tesla (my 2nd). I thought he was a uniter: someone working on the global problems all face. To see him become so small - so desperate for the approval of conspiracy theorists, extremists + hate-mongers - is truly sad.
And let me get THIS straight: MAGAs passed an unfunded $2.3 TRILLION corporate tax cut under trump, then raised the debt ceiling (with NO preconditions) 3 times while ballooning the deficit, and NOW under Biden they’re refusing to pay THEIR bills?
NOPE.
They are the party of forced birth for children. Of mandatory genital inspections. Of book bans. Of coal bailouts. They ARE the thought police.
I’m going to hold them accountable!
Excited to share some personal news with you all! Amanda, Nora, Emilia and I officially adopted a new son and brother this week (here he is getting ready for court).
Our hearts are full as we welcome Brady Dale Weinstein into our family! 💙
You guys…My driveway was packed for 3 hours as we gave away over 500 signs today!
The positive energy out there is just amazing. Thank you for showing up 🇺🇸
This is rich. They’re begging us for public dollars for their new stadium while showering the GOP with massive donations to protect their gerrymandered supermajorities.
Nope.

Really something to have to assure my worried 4 year old daughter that we would always keep her safe.
I get that they are exercising their rights. But the point here was to intimidate.
As if getting groceries in a pandemic isn’t hard enough. Legitimate political spouse question: how do I get my @Instacart order when my house is blocked with protesters?
The COVID surge in our hospitals is putting our entire system at risk. It’s also leading to increased attacks on caregivers from families of patients seeking non-COVID-related care.
GET VAXED. TREAT OUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS WITH RESPECT. They are our last line of defense!
Brady: ‘Daddy, I’m adopted!’
Me: ‘Yep buddy. Do you know what that means?’
Brady: ‘It means I didn’t grow in mommy’s tummy. I grew in her heart!’
Couldn’t have said it better myself. 💙
Alex speaks truth to power. Elon, who is one of the most powerful people on earth, cowers to anti-semites and anonymous hate-trolls on Twitter.
Alex > Elon.
I’ll put my reputation up against yours any day. I’ve spent my entire adult life in service to my country. Upheld my oath to protect & defend this nation at great personal cost. You’ve demonstrated yourself to be a purveyor of hate and division. Let history be the judge.
Fixed it for you: Dishonest @RepWeinstein confirms he's part of the cancel culture who would rather cancel a student who is incorrect on history, than educate him. Leveraging the Holocaust for selfish political purposes is disgusting. This is today's left. Identity politics and class warfare. @OhioSenateGOP@SenatorCirino on what Casey and cancel culture didn't show you.
In Springfield, Ohio, there has been a massive rise in communicable diseases, rent prices, car insurance rates, and crime. This is what happens when you drop 20,000 people into a small community.
Kamala Harris's immigration policy aims to do this to every town in our country.
Ohio - this is what we’re up against:
A petty, vindictive mindset that would punish KIDS WHO NEED HEARING AIDS because this rep doesn’t like that I asked him some tough questions on his anti-trans bill in a committee.
Be bigger and better, man.
Sorry, this needs to be said:
You are only a Senator because Peter Thiel dumped 8-figures into a shadow PAC to buy you. And then you groveled before and sold your soul to trump.
Rob Portman was a real Senator. You are a joke.
Sorry, this needs to be said:
A lot of the anti-Russia obsession on the left has nothing to do with Ukraine. It’s a revenge fantasy over 2016. They blame Russia for Donald Trump’s election and they’ll bleed Ukraine dry for payback.
The cited article says "she would entertain a debate about outlawing birth control in the wake of the United States Supreme Court overturning constitutional protections for abortion", and implies she would favor such a move. The article does not say "[all] Republicans" would.

You are the absolute worst in politics. No core convictions or beliefs - just blowing in the wind hoping to catch whatever breeze will carry you to that next office.
And a bully.
Just a pathetic, apparently vindictive grifter.
I have a long memory. If you’re fighting Trump and his endorsed candidates politically today, don’t ask for my help in a year with your legislation or your pet projects.
Community note
Vance has publicly called Trump an “idiot”, “reprehensible” and “noxious”. In Facebook messages, Vance wrote “I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical asshole like Nixon who wouldn’t be that bad… or that he’s America’s Hitler.”

Did you know that EVERY child in Ohio can receive a FREE book in the mail once a month….every month….from 0 to age 5?
Will you RT to help me raise these numbers higher?

Regardless of what happens today, @FrankLaRose has made a mockery of our Secretary of State's office.
He's allowed his personal ambition to 'trump' his sacred duty to the voters and to our Constitution.
He is an embarrassment and a fraud and a liar.
And he should resign.
During lunch I got endorsed by President @BarackObama.
At dinner, Emilia blew out of her diaper while Nora simultaneously yelled (in a crowded restaurant) ‘DADDY I HAVE TO POOP. NOW!’
Love my girls for keepin’ it real 😊🙃
Allll the local, anonymous twitter troll 'tough guys' who've been chirping non-stop about defending kids because of a BOOK they don't like are suddenly SUPER QUIET about mandated genital and blood exams for any kid 'suspected or accused' ... Tells you everything you need to know!
This is just a friendly reminder that the forced birthers have always been pushing for more control over our lives.
They’ll come for birth control next.
And THIS is our chance to stop them.
VOTE. YES. 🇺🇸
Got to talking to my Uber driver Feroz yesterday. Found out he was an Afghan interpreter for U.S. special forces, who then came to America with his family and was just granted citizenship. He’s in school for cybersecurity too.
Just an amazing guy. 🇺🇸
EVERY extreme bill makes its way to a vote, despite futile hopes that ‘moderate’ Rs will intervene.
Then every R votes yes.
Think genital inspections. Forced birth. Guns in schools. Confederate flags at State Fairs.
I’m not playing that game anymore. I’m fighting NOW.
Watching @berniemoreno troll, attack and laugh about Ohio's women in what he thought was a 'safe space' truly makes my skin crawl.
This is who he is - and we already have one Senator attacking women. We sure as hell don't need another.
VOTE. @SherrodBrown. 🇺🇸
This is a reminder that Ohio House Republicans are advancing a bill to MANDATE genital inspections for ANY child accused or suspected of being trans.
VOTE. THEM. OUT.
Let me be clear:
Ohioans voted *overwhelmingly* to legalize marijuana.
And that included legalizing personal and private use/home grow.
I will not support ANY legislation to roll that back.
This is a reminder that Republicans in the Ohio House passed a bill that MANDATES INTERNAL GENITAL INSPECTIONS for any child ‘suspected or accused’ of being trans.
Their big government intrusions into our private lives won’t stop until we VOTE. THEM. OUT.
MAGAs are the party of FORCED BIRTH. Of book bans. Of censorship. Of anti-vax conspiracy theorists. Of the nanny state telling US how to parent OUR kids.
Democrats are the party of freedom, liberty, privacy and autonomy. 🇺🇸
I know which side I’m on.
Do you remember the 10yo child rape victim who had to flee our state for an abortion after Roe was overturned?
The child that @Jim_Jordan and @DaveYostOH gaslit and pretended didn’t exist?
I DO.
VOTE. YES.
There are almost 140,000 Puerto Rican Americans living all across Ohio. Every elected official should join me in denouncing the horribly racist remarks made against them at trump’s rally tonight.
One of my neighbors and constituents had her pride flag stolen and burned on her property.
The targeted, hateful rhetoric and policy coming from the Statehouse has real-world consequences for those we all represent.
IT MUST STOP.

For some reason, a few anon folks here on x have been making wild claims about my military service... Suggesting I didn't serve honorably or receive an honorable discharge, that I got in trouble or was forced out of the military, and so, so many other conspiracies. (1/
I’m old enough to remember when jd vance made up a complete, racist lie about his own constituents eating people’s pets - putting them in danger in the process.
And he never admitted to it or apologized for it.
I’ll remember though.
I‘m proud to endorse @PeteButtigieg! As a vet, I appreciate his service in the Navy. As a frmr councilman, I appreciate his experience as a Mayor. As a millennial & father, I appreciate that he knows OUR generation will have to live with catastrophic climate change unless WE act!
Ohio education officials concluded last month they could do nothing to stop Neo Nazi homeschoolers indoctrinating their kids with white supremacist ideology.
Now Republican lawmakers want to pay them up to $22K per year to keep doing it....
