Next week, Vote Forward will be launching a new letter writing campaign to encourage voter turnout in Ohio’s special election. If you aren't signed up yet with Vote Forward, I encourage you to do so.
Republican lawmakers in Ohio want to increase the voter approval threshold for constitutional amendments from a simple majority to 60%. They want to stop new constitutional amendments from passing with majority support, including abortion rights and fair maps.
We’ve also been hearing a fair amount about shortages of cancer medication. A lot of the people who use opioid pain medication are cancer patients, and if their cancer is worsening because they aren’t receiving adequate chemotherapy, their pain is going to worsen, and if they are being denied their pain drugs on top of these artificially created shortages, the depth of the inhumanity of bureaucrats and accountants meddling in medicine will be beyond imagination.
The crackpot should have been disbarred. Instead she gets to preside over the crime of the century with her fascist-favoring incompetence once again on full display to the entire world?

BREAKING: Trump loyalist Matt Gaetz has just been hit with news that the House Ethics Committee just reopened its investigation into the allegations about Gaetz and a “a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old and paid her to travel with him.”
According to a new report, The committee will reportedly investigate whether Gaetz had “engaged in sexual misconduct and/or illicit drug use, shared inappropriate images or videos on the House floor, misused state identification records, converted campaign funds to personal use, and/or accepted a bribe, improper gratuity, or impermissible gift, in violation of House Rules, laws, or other standards of conduct."
The Ethics Committee has not yet determined whether it will launch a special investigative subcommittee that escalates the investigation.
While the investigation into Gaetz’ alleged child sex-trafficking had previously stalled, this is the first sign that it's getting back into gear. How does that make you feel?
Arizona Education Official’s Anti-Woke Crusade Is a Disaster
Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Horne conceded Thursday that the hotline had been inundated with nearly 30,000 prank phone calls and emails, and there was just one part-time DoE staffer tasked with going through them all. He wouldn’t go into detail about how many calls received on the hotline were of legitimate concern, 12 News reported.
Individuals who violated laws related to classified documents have routinely gone to prison for crimes far less severe than the allegations contained in the 38 counts against Donald Trump.
