Easy answer: It exposes Kamala’s failed policies. The more they tell you to look away and to blame someone else, the harder you need to look into this. This isn’t just the
FACT CHECK: A reporter contacted the caller who reported the man with a goose in Springfield.
The caller says he has never seen anything similar to the stories being told about pets, he just thought the man needed a permit because it was outside of goose hunting season.
"Now that the media are all in Springfield, I don't want no part in this," Toby told me. "I'm just telling people what I saw, and being a good citizen...If you [hunt geese] you need a permit."
Goose hunting season doesn't start until September. Toby made his report in August.

Last night, I returned to my conservative hometown to present my new organization, Ohioans Against Extremism.
It was a surreal moment as I presented our plans to a room peppered with former teachers, my friends’ parents, & even my mom.
Literally the ppl who raised me.
BREAKING: Musk-backed PAC is micro-targeting muslim areas with ads saying Harris stands with Israel... and targeting jewish areas saying the opposite.

These parents are trying to uphold decency, in honor of their son’s memory.
Meanwhile Neo Nazis are exploiting their family tragedy to spread hate. And some of the most powerful Republican politicians in Ohio and around the country are helping them do it.
Our new org, Ohioans Against Extremism, is here to help Ohioans wade through the sludge.

Our friends at Common Cause are reminding voters of 2 important ways to fact-check a political ad:
1. Look up their source — does the article/citation actually say what they claim it does?
2. Look up the ad funder (look for “paid for by” usually at the end) — What does that
If Ohio's Republican leaders are concerned about the safety of household pets,
they can pass HB 443 to repeal their bill from 2016 that DEREGULATED PUPPY MILLS:
In 2016, Ohio's entire Republican supermajority passed a "Petland law" essentially legalizing puppy mills
The law even bans local communities from passing their own puppy mill rules
.... and now a whole lot of Petland puppies are dying in Ohio:

Not Ohio, but this is in the extremist playbook to proactively undermine faith in our elections.
Extremist play: make rules that are logistically impossible to follow, then use the failure to comply as evidence of fraud.
Our Best Defense:
-Get candidates AND elections officials
Hand-counting 5.5 million votes would require time and staffing that local jurisdictions do not have, and when the votes can’t be counted on time the Trumpers will claim the election defaulted.
It is election sabotage.
Politicians had their chance to draw maps and they blew it. They chose lawlessness, so voters are taking our power back.
We trust citizens, not politicians.
