🧵Here's a fact check: Tim Ryan spent YEARS in Congress voting against a woman's right to choose and advocating for "pro-life" positions.

Here's a not-so-short timeline of Congressman Tim Ryan's career as an anti-abortion member of Congress (with receipts):
2002: Ryan first ran for Congress as an opponent of abortion rights.

2003: Ryan voted twice for the "Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act," which became law and which contains no exception for a woman's health.

2003: Ryan voted to ban therapeutic cloning, which researchers believed could have been used to create treatments for Alzheimer's, Parkinsons, diabetes, and other debilitating diseases. Anti-choice activists objected to the practice because of the destruction of human embryos.

2003: Ryan scored a 10% on the NARAL scorecard.

2004: Ryan scored a 35% on the NARAL scorecard.

2004: Ryan voted for the "Unborn Victims of Violence Act," which opponents viewed as an effort to undermine Roe v. Wade.

clerk.house.gov/Votes/2004197

justfacts.votesmart.org/interest-group…
2005: Ryan, for a third time, voted to continue the ban on military personnel and their dependents from obtaining abortions at overseas military hospitals, even using their own funds.

clerk.house.gov/Votes/2005216
2005: Ryan voted for the "Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act," which would have created a national parental notification law.

clerk.house.gov/Votes/2005144
2006: Ryan voted for the "Unborn Child Pain Awareness Act," which would have forced doctors to inform women seeking abortions that their fetuses could feel pain.

clerk.house.gov/Votes/2006526
2006: Ryan, for a fourth time, voted to continue the ban on military personnel and their dependents from obtaining abortions at overseas military hospitals, even using their own funds.

clerk.house.gov/Votes/2006136
2006: Ryan scored 0% on the NARAL scorecard.
2009: Ryan published an op-ed for US News defending his "pro-life" credentials, standing by his anti-choice votes, and stating that healthcare reform should not allow funding for abortions.

usnews.com/news/blogs/god…
2009: Ryan published a letter to the editor in the Vindicator defending his "pro-life" credentials.

web.archive.org/web/2019072811…
2009: Ryan voted for Stupak Amendment, which blocked funding for abortions.

clerk.house.gov/Votes/2009884
2009: Ryan scored a 50% on the NARAL scorecard.

justfacts.votesmart.org/interest-group…
Until 2009: Ryan served on the board of "Democrats for Life."

cleveland.com/open/2015/01/r…
2015: Ryan announced his change in position on abortion rights.

beaconjournal.com/story/opinion/…
Tim Ryan cannot be trusted to stand up for women or to protect our rights. He's an opportunist, period. Ohio's women deserve better. I will never waver when it comes to protecting abortion rights, and I will always be a champion for our reproductive health and freedom.

1/ As I learn about web3, I’m intrigued by the idea of creating new opportunities & networks that can benefit Ohioans. I'm getting more confident that we can—& should—build that future via blockchain. But I want to stop & address one of the concerns that’s come up: fraud & scams.
2/ I'm new to web3 but not to consumer protection. I was a Sr Advisor at the @cfpb. My portfolio included payday loans, credit reporting & fraud against elders & vets. If you're worried about fraud/scams, the priority shouldn’t be crypto it shld be on our current financial system
3/ The magnitude is shocking & I had a front row seat. In 2016 *alone* we took action against Wells Fargo, Corinthian College, Navy Federal Credit Union, & RushCard for defrauding ppl. We returned $12B to 28M ppl in 6yrs. Huge feat, but the most depressing thing? Nothing changed

1/14 - I first started hearing about crypto, #Bitcoin , and blockchain when I was working at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. We had a lot of pressing issues causing real time harm so I’ll admit I wasn’t too plugged into this area
2/14 - Since then, this space has grown a lot. I’ve recently spent more time learning about Bitcoin and crypto and to be honest, I’m really interested in the possibilities for our state
3/14 - First, whether you’re pro or anti crypto, the most important thing is to read up on it and experience it. Make sure you understand the tech.

There’s a narrative that someone “like me” can’t mobilize a multiracial working-class coalition. After hearing this for the 100th time (mostly from political elites), it’s now obvious to me the people who believe that are actually the ones who can’t get passed their own biases
Listen, our campaign is first and foremost centered around getting political and economic power back on the side of working families. My strategy is to amplify working-class issues every chance I get regardless of what elites tell me I am capable of. See: My day in Toledo
I showed up to a strike against Stericycle on Friday morning and got a full download from workers about the issues they were facing and how Stericycle is screwing them over by increasing their healthcare costs. Image

Last night, something really cool happened across the state of Ohio.

Black progressives, newcomers to the political scene, absolutely dominated and out performed expectations.

1/4
In Cleveland, @BibbForCLE won the mayoral race, beating the sitting city council president.

In Lima, Ohio, @sharettaforlima became the city’s first Black mayor and its first woman mayor — in a city that Trump carried!

2/4
Cleveland Heights, a suburb of Cleveland, elected @kahlilseren to become their first mayor, beating his more moderate opponent.

In Dayton, Our Revolution and Working Families Party-backed candidate @turnersloss won her race to become city commissioner.

3/4
