Bad men gain power when we don't fight back. Vivek Ramaswamy is everything wrong with politics: arrogance, cruelty, dishonesty, and a willingness to do ANYTHING for power. Ohio deserves better. I'm proud that my wife, MK, is supporting Dr. Amy Acton today.
Statement from First Lady MK Pritzker discussing a $500,000 investment to support Amy Acton for Ohio Governor. The statement criticizes certain political behaviors and expresses endorsement for Amy Acton, emphasizing the importance of standing against divisive and extremist actions.

You can probably imagine my reaction when my lawyers, whom I hired precisely for their First Amendment expertise, told me that somehow my First Amendment rights didn’t exist in a trial about political speech aimed at a public official.

ICYMI: The judge in the Rooster trial prohibited the defense from arguing the case on First Amendment grounds. (This happened during a pretrial meeting, and I was completely unaware during the proceedings.) axios.com/local/cleveland/20…

Judge prohibited First Amendment defense in trial over naked Shrek image

The pretrial ruling prevented jurors from considering whether explicit text to state senator was constitutionally protected political speech.

Prosecution’s closing argument consisted mainly of projecting this image on the wall, describing it, and insinuating that harassment was self-evident. “Look at that! Tell me how that’s not harassment!”

Well. Shrek has made his debut on the screen today. Over the trial, prosecution has emphasized ~repeatedly~ the state that Shrek is in, and the activity he is allegedly engaged in.

For those keeping tabs on those involved in the Cuyahoga County corruption scandal, Jimmy Dimora just asked a federal judge to end his supervised release early. He's served it since Biden commuted the rest of his prison sentence. bloomberglaw.com/public/docu…

Judge gave Byrnes a slap on the wrist, $200 in court costs. (Cirino asked for a no contact order but judge declined.) Byrnes will likely appeal the ruling.
