Friends, what you’re seeing and hearing isn’t Youngstown. Protestors in Youngstown earlier today weren’t greeted with riot gear, they were greeted by electeds, the Chief Of Police, clergy and even a sitting member of Congress.
He’s just missing a support local farms hat, and a
@SherrodBrown
lapel pin and he’ll be ready to hit the stump talking about the dignity of work.
To quote
@ConnieSchultz
: here’s your Thursday reminder to breathe.
If you’ve ever needed proof Ohio is a rigged state, not a red state, rn the GOP is trying to attach an appropriations amndmt that hasn’t gone through finance committee under suspended rules to a non-related bill to shorten the amount of time military/overseas folks get to vote.
Listen: the primary is over. I need
@nanwhaley
and
@TimRyan
to make some kids merch now. Poor Colin is 4 months old and doesn’t own a single piece of political attire.
🧵 I just want to make sure everyone understands that what you’re seeing with LaRose forcing the primary w/ yet to be reviewed maps, the lack of cooperation from the republicans in the ORC and Republican officials saying they’ll retain their super majorities is a watershed moment
@DavidPepper
Not nuts at all. We have an election to run. This court charade has gone on long enough. Red wave coming and GOP supermajority will be retained.
Channeled my inner
@JasonKander
and had a calm, rational debate with a gentleman today about why there is no need to own an assault weapon knowing he would never vote for me and I would never change his mind, but you lose 100% of the arguments you don’t make.
Dear Arizona, need some advice on how to run an election the right way?
Your process is obviously not working and it’s the dedicated, hardworking local election officials who are stuck picking up the pieces.
Happy to help out…
So uh, I’m not a lawyer so I want to make sure I understand this:
Pass a constitutional map by the end of May, or we’ll impose a map we know is unconstitutional on you?
Wanted to take a second to thank
@TimRyan
and
@mh4oh
for taking time to not just answer questions for our organizations, but to answer tough questions. Nobody got a pass, and it shows that neither candidate takes the under 40 vote for granted.
This is 30 years of one party rule leading the GOP to believe that not only do they not have to listen to the will of the voters, they don’t have to listen to coequal branches of gov.
They’re literally telling the highest court in our state “we don’t give a shit what you say”
It’s not every day you get to meet a political hero of yours. It’s definitely not every day you get to introduce him at a fundraiser for another politician you look up to! Thank you for visiting us in Youngstown today,

Alternate take: Ohio Christian Alliqnce is mad Chief Justice is upholding the law, not doing partisan bidding and we’re sad.
Hey
@OHDems
, meet Melissa Dahman. She spent her entire senior year lobbying the Ohio General Assembly for sensible reforms to make our schools safer. On her 18th birthday she decided she was going to run for the State School Board.
In Columbus today
@JoeBiden
said that if there was anyone he had to be in a foxhole with, it’s
@TimRyan
and I couldn’t agree more.
I know first hand that Tim goes to work every day fighting for working families and to give everyone a fair shot.
@scottpullins
Are we supposed to be embarrassed by this? I’m the President of the Ohio Young Democrats and I also want masks to be mandatory, feel free to try to spin that too. Cc:
@DavidPepper
Imagine the brazenness to say “we know you voted for fair maps, Mr. Voter, but our ability to override the Governor is way more important” and “we know there are three branches of government, but really there’s 1 with these 2 subsidiaries”
Just know that if I wasn’t busy holding the littlest Democrat at the
@youngdems
convention that I would have clapped through the entirety of the
@PeteButtigieg
speech.

Incase the
@ohiogop
is still trying to figure out why the chief export of our state is young talent: this is it. Your backwards, anti science, pandering to the worst of our state bullshit.
Congratulations, your lack of courage has made Ohioans less safe. Again.
BREAKING: The Ohio legislature has officially overridden a
@GovMikeDeWine
veto of a bill to allow lawmakers to strike down public health orders.
Bill goes into effect this summer:
I couldn’t be more proud of this
@TimRyan
team today. Across the district, in one 3 hour swoop we helped hundreds of people request absentee ballots and get registered to vote. And we did it safely.
Thank you to everyone who made these events such a success!
🚨 I’m all in. All in to elect Democrats across Mahoning County.
I’ve spent nearly my entire adult life traveling around Ohio getting people elected to office, with a special focus on helping elect local officials here in the Mahoning Valley.
YALL. There are 178 people on a phone bank for
@TimRyan

@KathleenClyde

@RandiClites
!
That's not a joke. ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY EIGHT PEOPLE ready to flip Ohio.
A very special thank you to
@SherrodBrown
for kicking it off!
Two Trump appointees just overruled the will of democratically elected Ohio Supreme Court Justices and 70% of the Ohio Electorate. This is how democracy dies.
Officially officially. Congratulations, Judge
@JoeSchiavoni
! It’s been one hell of a year since you decided to run but I’m thankful you brought me along for the ride.
This is the Chairman of the Columbiana GOP Dave Johnson. You okay with this,
@JaneyMurph
? Johnson needs to immediately apologize to the families of those who lost their lives, those missing and those who’s lives are destroyed and resign. Unless this is how the
@ohiogop
feels?
The Ohio Republican Party has intentionally diluted the votes of the City of Youngstown by extending the boundaries from Youngstown to Hanoverton, ignoring the will of the 70% coalition of voters who said we want fair representation.

@MikeDeWine

signing anti-vax legislation after realizing he had two far right primary challengers:
I'm a gun owner and an outdoorsman. So don't @ me with that gun grabber bullshit.
#StandYourGround
is wrong everywhere and for the
@ohiogop
to try to force this thru during
#LameDuck
is outrageous. Call your representatives now and tell them to vote no.
A bill to give you a $2,000 relief check passed the House overwhelmingly and
@realDonaldTrump
has said he’ll sign it. Every Democrat Senator has said they’ll support it. If you don’t get this much needed relief, it’s because of Republicans like
@KLoeffler
and

@marcorubio
Yeah that’s it Marco, it’s not the 2 years of a global pandemic that took millions out of the workforce, creating supply chain shortages that crated scarcity in durable goods like used cars were was used as an excuse to charge well over market value, even with scarcity.
I’m so damn proud of this team. In addition to hosting nearly 1,000 folks in the Queen City for

, Team Ohio brought the largest delegation, and walked away with not one, not two, not three but NINE national leadership positions.
This photo was taken a year ago today. It’s been a wild few years
@TimRyan
- but I’m immensely proud to call you my Congressman, a friend, a mentor, and soon to be the Junior Senator from the State of Ohio. LFG!!!
Proud of
@TimRyan
for helping shape the debate of the Presidential. Anything we have ever needed for
@OhioYD
, Congressman Ryan has been there. Looking forward to helping send him back to Congress where he can continue fighting for our Valley and for the dignity of work.

True life: I started a new email address and subscribed it to a federal candidates mailing list. It should receive exactly 0 emails from anyone other than this candidate. I’m going to test how many times it’s list swapped this cycle. Stay tuned.

Hey
@OrganizerMemes
- did I do this right?
In all seriousness - $600 is an insult to folks who are struggling. I can’t wrap my head around how anyone thinks that giving someone a check for less than the average cost of an apartment is going to help keep someone above water.
I’m humbled to have been chosen to lead our Party into the future. I know that I’ll be standing on the shoulders of giants, and I will work every day to make you proud.
Today, I’m taking some time to be with my family, but tomorrow - we get to work.
Thank you Mahoning County.

Tonight six candidates spoke about becoming the next
@OHDems
Chair. Only two even made a mention of Young Democrats.
Let me be clear: this ain’t it.
Campaigns are powered by young people. We knock your doors, send your texts, make your phone calls, donate to you, and more.
I’m going to share something deeply personal with you all.
My wife and I had a miscarriage early last year. It was the worst experience of my life. It happened very early in the pregnancy, but it was still absolutely devastating. 1/5
Unemployment benefits expire today if
@realDonaldTrump
doesn’t sign the Stimulus Package. You can always go back and do a stand alone bill to increase the $600 to $2,000, but you can not undo the pain letting these benefits run out will cause, the day after Christmas.
