@elonmusk
for many years. I drive a Tesla (my 2nd). I thought he was a uniter: someone working on the global problems all face. To see him become so small - so desperate for the approval of conspiracy theorists, extremists + hate-mongers - is truly sad.
And let me get THIS straight: MAGAs passed an unfunded $2.3 TRILLION corporate tax cut under trump, then raised the debt ceiling (with NO preconditions) 3 times while ballooning the deficit, and NOW under Biden theyโre refusing to pay THEIR bills?
NOPE.
They are the party of forced birth for children. Of mandatory genital inspections. Of book bans. Of coal bailouts. They ARE the thought police.
Iโm going to hold them accountable!
Excited to share some personal news with you all! Amanda, Nora, Emilia and I officially adopted a new son and brother this week (here he is getting ready for court).
Our hearts are full as we welcome Brady Dale Weinstein into our family! ๐
Really something to have to assure my worried 4 year old daughter that we would always keep her safe.
I get that they are exercising their rights. But the point here was to intimidate.
As if getting groceries in a pandemic isnโt hard enough. Legitimate political spouse question: how do I get my
@Instacart
order when my house is blocked with protesters?
The COVID surge in our hospitals is putting our entire system at risk. Itโs also leading to increased attacks on caregivers from families of patients seeking non-COVID-related care.
GET VAXED. TREAT OUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS WITH RESPECT. They are our last line of defense!
Brady: โDaddy, Iโm adopted!โ
Me: โYep buddy. Do you know what that means?โ
Brady: โIt means I didnโt grow in mommyโs tummy. I grew in her heart!โ
Couldnโt have said it better myself. ๐
Alex speaks truth to power. Elon, who is one of the most powerful people on earth, cowers to anti-semites and anonymous hate-trolls on Twitter.
Alex > Elon.
Iโll put my reputation up against yours any day. Iโve spent my entire adult life in service to my country. Upheld my oath to protect & defend this nation at great personal cost. Youโve demonstrated yourself to be a purveyor of hate and division. Let history be the judge.
Fixed it for you: Dishonest
@RepWeinstein
confirms he's part of the cancel culture who would rather cancel a student who is incorrect on history, than educate him. Leveraging the Holocaust for selfish political purposes is disgusting. This is today's left. Identity politics and
Ohio - this is what weโre up against:
A petty, vindictive mindset that would punish KIDS WHO NEED HEARING AIDS because this rep doesnโt like that I asked him some tough questions on his anti-trans bill in a committee.
Be bigger and better, man.
I asked Rep. Williams about the vote after House session.
โBecause
@RepWeinstein
sponsored it.โ
Just because of him?
โYup. Fuck him.โ
The bill, which passed, would require private insurers to cover the cost of hearing aides for Ohioans 21 years or younger.
Sorry, this needs to be said:
You are only a Senator because Peter Thiel dumped 8-figures into a shadow PAC to buy you. And then you groveled before and sold your soul to trump.
Rob Portman was a real Senator. You are a joke.
Sorry, this needs to be said:
A lot of the anti-Russia obsession on the left has nothing to do with Ukraine. Itโs a revenge fantasy over 2016. They blame Russia for Donald Trumpโs election and theyโll bleed Ukraine dry for payback.
You are the absolute worst in politics. No core convictions or beliefs - just blowing in the wind hoping to catch whatever breeze will carry you to that next office.
And a bully.
Just a pathetic, apparently vindictive grifter.
I have a long memory. If youโre fighting Trump and his endorsed candidates politically today, donโt ask for my help in a year with your legislation or your pet projects.

Regardless of what happens today,
@FrankLaRose
has made a mockery of our Secretary of State's office.
He's allowed his personal ambition to 'trump' his sacred duty to the voters and to our Constitution.
He is an embarrassment and a fraud and a liar.
And he should resign.

Allll the local, anonymous twitter troll 'tough guys' who've been chirping non-stop about defending kids because of a BOOK they don't like are suddenly SUPER QUIET about mandated genital and blood exams for any kid 'suspected or accused' ... Tells you everything you need to know!
And to see him drag Twitter into such disgusting depths has been similarly depressing. And every day it gets worse. So Iโm checking out

This is just a friendly reminder that the forced birthers have always been pushing for more control over our lives.
Theyโll come for birth control next.
And THIS is our chance to stop them.
VOTE. YES. ๐บ๐ธ
Got to talking to my Uber driver Feroz yesterday. Found out he was an Afghan interpreter for U.S. special forces, who then came to America with his family and was just granted citizenship. Heโs in school for cybersecurity too.
Just an amazing guy. ๐บ๐ธ
EVERY extreme bill makes its way to a vote, despite futile hopes that โmoderateโ Rs will intervene.
Then every R votes yes.
Think genital inspections. Forced birth. Guns in schools. Confederate flags at State Fairs.
Iโm not playing that game anymore. Iโm fighting NOW.
This is a reminder that Ohio House Republicans are advancing a bill to MANDATE genital inspections for ANY child accused or suspected of being trans.
VOTE. THEM. OUT.
Let me be clear:
Ohioans voted *overwhelmingly* to legalize marijuana.
And that included legalizing personal and private use/home grow.
I will not support ANY legislation to roll that back.
This is a reminder that Republicans in the Ohio House passed a bill that MANDATES INTERNAL GENITAL INSPECTIONS for any child โsuspected or accusedโ of being trans.
Their big government intrusions into our private lives wonโt stop until we VOTE. THEM. OUT.
MAGAs are the party of FORCED BIRTH. Of book bans. Of censorship. Of anti-vax conspiracy theorists. Of the nanny state telling US how to parent OUR kids.
Democrats are the party of freedom, liberty, privacy and autonomy. ๐บ๐ธ
I know which side Iโm on.
Do you remember the 10yo child rape victim who had to flee our state for an abortion after Roe was overturned?
The child that
@Jim_Jordan
and
@DaveYostOH
gaslit and pretended didnโt exist?
I DO.
VOTE. YES.
One of my neighbors and constituents had her pride flag stolen and burned on her property.
The targeted, hateful rhetoric and policy coming from the Statehouse has real-world consequences for those we all represent.
IT MUST STOP.
For some reason, a few anon folks here on x have been making wild claims about my military service... Suggesting I didn't serve honorably or receive an honorable discharge, that I got in trouble or was forced out of the military, and so, so many other conspiracies. (1/

PSA: If you attended the January 6th insurrection and tried to overthrow our democracy, donโt come testify to my committee and lecture me on the Constitution. ๐บ๐ธ
Make no mistake: Frank Larose's attempt to make it harder to pass citizen-initiated ballot initiatives is the MAGA plan to permanently ban access to abortion in Ohio.
And we WILL stop it.
I'm old enough to remember when Dewine promised to 'do something' about gun violence after the Dayton mass shooting.
He did not.
So I'll take his assurances that he will reform our forced birth laws if Ohioans vote no on issue 1 with a GIANT grain of salt.
VOTE. YES.
I mean - Iโm used to watching DeWine and Huffman completely ignore the public will.
But the COMPLETE and UTTER contempt they are showing for voters who overwhelmingly passed legalization angers me to no end.
And we WILL push back.
Psst. In Hudson, we had a MASSIVE turnout AGAINST book banners and FOR literary freedom today.
Americans donโt like big government. censorship. And weโll show up to oppose it. Pass it on. ๐บ๐ธ
As the GOP overturns Governor DeWineโs veto and uses their gerrymandered supermajority to strip fundamental rights from our LGBTQ community today, I want to tell you all that I am here for you. That I support you. That I will always fight for you. And that you are loved. ๐ณ๏ธโ๐
Hey folks, itโs all manufactured nonsense. Here is a professional film crew filming the so-called protestors. It will be on a 30 second commercial soon.

@ohiogop
Josh, beyond your lengthening electoral losing streak, you are an embarrassment to our state, and to our Jewish community. Thankfully, you will never hold elected office again.
You canโt even manage a campaign, man.
Stop the nonsense!
If you want your kid to wear a mask, fine. If you're a teacher who wants to wear a mask, fine.
But you don't get to force that decision on my children or others.
Republicans have already made it clear what comes next. โOhio state representative says she would consider banning birth control following abortion outlawโ
When banning birth control is whatโs next, itโs clear that none of this was ever about abortion.
