Happily surprised to hear that *Republican* legislative leaders in Ohio are working with Democrats to ensure Biden/Harris ticket is on the ballot. Change is in the air.
Please help me understand. Are you telling me that the November Ohio ballot was not going to have the Biden-Harris candidates on the ballot? Seriously? How could any state be legally able to do something that outrageous? Am I misunderstanding?!!
Jessica linked to an AP article about this. Ohio's deadline to certify for the ballot is August 7, nearly two weeks before the Democratic National Convention when Biden will be formally nominated. To get Biden on the ballot, Ohio must pass a measure to adjust the certification deadline. Although they have made similar adjustments in the past, earlier comments by the Ohio Senate President indicated indifference, calling it "a Democratic problem." Fortunately, there's been a change of heart. Maybe the Republicans saw political blowback brewing. I'm just glad they're making the right decision here.
Thank you. The thought of Biden Harris not being on the Ohio ballot would be more than an outrage. It would be downright unAmerican for a heartland state, not to mention a critical blow to the election.
Any good news is much appreciated. Feeling depressed and shaken after the SCOTUS hearings this week, and after another round of doomscrolling about the election and the future. I tried to go without doing that today (and I seriously want to limit my news intake) but couldn't. I need to stop doing this.
Kudos to those organizing to oust AZ far-right Supreme Court members.
Florida has two Supreme Court members up for a retention vote.Justices Sasso and Francis , appointed by DeSantis, are up for a retention vote in Nov. Both voted for our draconian 6-week abortion ban.
Tony at Postcards To Voters yesterday told me that Floridians for Reproduction Freedom, the org behind Amendment 4, has not yet requested a postcard campaign. Let’s contact them to request a campaign and get this postcarding party started !,✍️
Why are we paying Supreme Court justices to consider giving Immunity to DDT (my new title for Day-One Dictator Trump) ? Gawd -- haven't we coddled that loser enough ?
Thanks -- I needed all that ! I've had what i call a really crummy week with the worst bad news I could think of, but I have told my doctor i am not going to die until I see Trump in prison. I know how to beat a crisis !
I have no idea what you're talking about ! I am very much in favor of helping the Palestinians and Gaza residents to get food -- and to rebuild their homes if they can return to their areas.

I’m cautiously optimistic…?

NE and Ky doing something to expand voting access?!? I stopped reading after that sentence…
I know, so weird, right?
You, Jessica Craven, are amazing. Great research! Thank you 🙏.
Thanks, John.

Hang in there, Chris. Remember, the news is profiting off of our anxiety. Let’s not oblige them.
Thank you so much, Jessica. Will definitely try not to let them get to me.
💙💙 Extra ! Extra !

Ugh. There's always something that gets by me.

I actually copied and pasted that from another publication but still should have caught it:
