Through the long lens of history, last week’s results were enormously important.

And what we achieve in the coming year, even more so.

People want results.

In their lives.

Only in DC does getting a promise that “we get to vote on something” get categorized as progress.

When voters hear fiery words but see weak actions:

- some disbelieve your WORDS because they expect people w fiery words to take appropriate action

- others disbelieve YOU, because they believe your words, but you’re not willing to back up those words w action.

Either way, you lose…

This shutdown deal does nothing to help those in our state struggling with the cost of healthcare. Half a million Ohioans will face skyrocketing premiums because once again Washington politicians have made a mess.

In recent years, Paul Tagliabue used his voice and influence to encourage voter registration and engagement among NFL players and fans.

A model of how to do it.

I was honored to speak w him about the work, and his passion and commitment came through.

May he rest in peace 🙏

“The everyday quality of human rights was the point. It was not one ideology against another. The dissidents made no grand claims and advanced no grand worldviews but rather tried to tell everyday truths, advance everyday causes, realize everyday virtues.”
Tim Snyder:

“Havel did not like the word dissident because it suggested a separate vocation. He thought the “dissidents” were just being themselves, living their truths, sovereign and unpredictable. Dissidence was just a matter of trying to live according to virtues rather than conforming.”

Dr. Amy Acton campaigns everywhere and gets herself into a lead over Vivek.

Highest job approval in Ohio. By a lot.

Perfect matchup—doctor, not a politician.

Dem Operatives: women can’t win. Let’s primary her!

Vivek: 🙏

Trump is so dedicated to increasing health costs on Americans he’s willing to impose both hunger and cancel flights as leverage.

Even after Tuesday, there’s a movement afoot in Ohio to encourage a last-minute primary against @amyactonoh.bsky.social — who is tied or ahead of Vivek in the polls and has the highest job approval rating in Ohio — under the whispered notion that a woman can’t win.

Read the room.
