Day 2 of the biggest bribery scandal in Ohio's history is about to begin. Judge Black has called for in jury. We are expecting the prosecution to call witnesses:
Charles Walker, IRS
Steven Staub, FirstEnergy
Blane Wetzel, FBI
H.B. 458 opens the door for widespread voter suppression and harms some of our most vulnerable in Ohio. Veterans, students and others are disadvantaged under this law. The Ohio legislature needs to change this law prior to it going into effect and hurting voters in Ohio.
As a Veteran, I introduced the Veteran ID Card in 2018β¦ because it supported our Veterans. Now, I am disappointed the Ohio legislature has passed a bill doing the exact opposite. I will always proudly defend their rightsβ¦ and thatβs my job.
Today and every year we commemorate the rich legacy and mission of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Let us continue to commit ourselves to shaping a community that reflects his dream for freedom and equity! #MLKDay2023
Today we celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We have made a lot of progress as a Nation but there is still more to do. We must continue to work on a society that works for all of us and not just some.
While Democrats are delivering for the Miami Valley and the country, Kevin McCarthy & Mike Turner struggle to count votes and continue to throw tantrums.

[6:20 PM] We cannot overstate how dangerously cold it is going to be/feel tomorrow morning through the day. We are forecasting a minimum wind chill of -30F at Dayton, which has only occurred on 7 days in the past 25 years (would be first occurrence since 2014). Data courtesy IEM.
The issue, Scott, is that a "free ID" is not really free, It doesn't show up on your doorstep and hand itself to you.
It costs people money and time to go the BMV office. If you lack a single required document -- like a birth certificate -- it costs money to get one.
Today, 119 years ago, two brothers from Dayton changed the world with their flight down in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.
We owe so much to them and are thankful for their contribution to the advancement of mankind.
We also thank North Carolina for their hot air, sand, and wind
Politicians of all stripes say a lot of stupid stuff. The brilliant solution the Founders came up with was the First Amendment, so you can say whatever you want in response. Criminalizing speech is for Communists, banana republics, and European socialists, not America. twitter.com/AustinJ_Reportβ¦
Now that all the votes have been counted, the GDYDs would like to congratulate Montgomery County Auditor Karl Keith and County Commissioner Carolyn Rice for being re-elected! We would also like to congratulate Angelina Jackson and Julie Bruns for winning seats on the bench!!
The U.S. Senate is ready to approve a bipartisan bill designed to offer legal protections for same-sex and interracial marriages - as a group of Republicans provided the crucial votes again yesterday to avoid a filibuster. More in today's "Regular Order."
Itβs a great relief there were no injuries at tonightβs Children's Parade. Grateful for the quick response of DPD and others to clear the scene and keep folks safe. But tonight's events underscore the ongoing need to get guns out of the hands of people who should not have them.
During the campaign, the GOP talked non-stop about the economy, inflation, and high gas prices. But since winning the House, it's all about investigations that have nothing to do with the cost of your Thanksgiving meal.

GOP Ohio Sec of State Frank LaRose & state Rep Brian Stewart holding presser THU "to discuss reforms which will better protect Ohio's constitution"
Increased signature requirements to amend...just in time to make it even harder for abortion, redistricting citizen initiatives???
So what was priority one for the GOP super-majority in the Ohio General Assembly in lame duck session? A Senate bill which would take nearly all power away from Ohio Board of Education and give it to the governor. After Tuesday's election, Dems hold a majority of seats.
SCOOP: @RepMTG's worst fears could soon be coming true.
DON BACON (R-Neb.) tells @NBCNews he's willing to work with DEMS to elect a moderate Speaker if 218 Republicans can't agree on a candidate. @RepDonBacon
