25 weeks. That’s how long Ohioans have been protesting outside Senator Bernie Moreno’s office—week after week, demanding a Senator who listens. I stopped by today to stand with them. It’s past time for Moreno to stop hiding and start doing his job. Ohio deserves better.
I didn’t run for office to rearrange deck chairs on the Titanic. Ohio’s sinking—public schools gutted, billionaires bailed out, democracy under attack. The far right has a roadmap. We need a damn compass. It’s time to fight like it matters. tristanrader.substack.com/p/the-status-q…
Well said.
Blocking the Commanders' new stadium deal unless they change their name back to the Redskins is like an HOA requiring you to fly the Confederate flag.
Billionaire: Instead of hating billionaires, have a great education. Also billionaire: I need corporate welfare, just take it out of education.
Instead of “ending billionaires,” we should focus on building a country where every American can enjoy the most important thing that billionaires do: a world-class education & financial independence from their government.
Your daily reminder that the woman who called off an investigation into Trump University as AG of Florida after receiving a campaign contribution from Trump has assured us there’s no Epstein client list.
Survivors of Dr. Richard Strauss say Ohio Republican U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan knew about the sexual abuse the student-athletes suffered, according to HBO’s new documentary, "Surviving Ohio State." ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/07/11/in-…
Never in history has a U.S. president threatened to strip citizenship from a U.S. citizen, born in the US, for criticizing him. nytimes.com/live/2025/07/1…
Cleveland goes Hollywood with #Superman out now in theaters! See how our city was transformed into Metropolis after the Man of Steel came back to the birthplace of the character last summer to film in the Land. See how many Cleveland landmarks you can recognize!
Wow who would have thought that electing a rapist would have complicated the release of the Epstein Files?
Today we broke ground on the new E. 79th St. Station! 🚆 Fully ADA accessible, with bus + rail access and public art chosen by the community. One of the few silver linings this year: real transit progress that invests in equity + mobility. #Cleveland #TransitJustice
It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s… an Ohio senator? Got to see the new Superman Movie tonight, filmed in Cleveland, with the governor and some folks like the one and only “Clark” Kent Smith!
July 1st - gets $600 million handout from Ohio to move the Browns. July 2nd - buys $25 million beach house in Palm Beach. The job of Ohio Republican is crystal clear… make the rich richer at your expense. bizjournals.com/columbus/news/…
Great night with @IBEW 4th District leaders, NECA partners, and industry allies from across the region. Powerful conversations, strong solidarity, and a clear vision for the future of labor. Grateful to be in the room. ⚡️✊ #IBEW #UnionStrong #LaborMovement #Ohio
…Rader told POLITICO. “They’re making incredibly unpopular decisions of giving away literally billions of dollars to billionaires while undercutting education and Medicaid — we know that’s not popular.” politico.com/news/2025/07/0…
As 17 million Americans were being thrown off health care to pay for billionaire tax cuts, America's largest newspaper deployed a whole team of reporters to break the truly big news: the college application of Africa-born South Asian mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani.
Standing in solidarity with our friends at Teamsters Local 507 ✊ It’s been over a year they’ve shown up, negotiated in good faith, & still AirGas is dragging its feet. These workers aren’t asking for the moon they’re demanding fairness, respect, & a contract. No more excuses.
