It's incredibly disturbing that Ohio #Republicans passed this bill in the first place....but your advocacy pushed the governor to VETO it‼️🎉 Contact Governor DeWine to thank him: bit.ly/MikeDeWine www.cleveland.com/open/2025/12...

New polling shows that 1 in 7 Americans report using Buy Now, Pay Later service like Klarna, Affirm, and Afterpay to get groceries. www.axios.com/2025/08/04/g...

As we watch corporations capitulate to this regime of the bullies, by the bribes, for the billionaires, let’s recall that ‘we the people’ are the ones who make the world go round. We must be the ones who decide what comes next.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.  Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Let's go, Zohran Mamdani!! Feeling inspired and hopeful 🩵💚

If you see headlines with "flat tax," it's a scam. This is a tax cut for the rich. According to Policy Matters, over $1 billion will go to people making over $140,000 each year, rather than being invested in improving the quality of life in Ohio. No one making under $100,000 will see a dime.

The House Republican majority passed the "Big Ugly Bill." According to CBPP, the bill would take away healthcare coverage from 15 million people and take away food assistance (SNAP) from an estimated 2 million children. 1/

Good morning !

A reminder that if the minimum wage had kept pace with worker productivity gains since the 1960s, it would now be nearly $26 an hour.

To the cartoonist who drew this, well done.

Belief in the myth of meritocracy (ie, falling into just-world bias) also undermines support for redistributive policies. Because it makes it seem like rich people deserve to be rich, and poor people deserve to be poor. And thus that sharing the wealth would just reward the "undeserving." 3/

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford on her victory, and to the people of Wisconsin for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.

A 🧵 on the Ohio House state budget proposal (the House substitute budget bill). We all need resources and opportunities to live a decent life. Yet today, too many families in Ohio are struggling to make ends meet. The latest proposal could make things worse for many of our neighbors. 1/

America is THIRSTY for any sign of leadership. If you're the sort of a person whose entire career depends on having people look at and like you, perhaps you'd like to step up and shine.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

While the House speaker says universal school meals are a "huge amount of waste," faith leaders are calling on state lawmakers to make sure kids, adults and families have the food, healthcare and resources they need. By @nckevns.bsky.social ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/03/26/o...

In his state of the state speech, Gov. DeWine said, “We cannot our full potential as a state until each Ohioan reaches their fullest potential.” I agree 100% with that. And, far too many people aren’t in a position to reach their full potential. 1/

Over 9 in 10 Americans agree: Medicaid is important for their community. Protecting health care for working families isn't a partisan issue. Save Medicaid. No cuts.

Trump spoke for 90 minutes—and didn't say one word about the stress the 60% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck are facing right now.

I won’t vote to give tax breaks to billionaires.

If you want to see Dems fight back, celebrate the Dems who are fighting back like this.

"The days of rule by unelected bureaucrats are over," Trump says, as Elon looks on from the gallery.

Donald Trump: “America is back”

Everything you need to know about Trump's tax cuts.

Last night House Rs advanced their dystopic plan for America's future. The budget resolution they approved would slash health coverage, food assistance, and more to pave the way for massive tax cuts for wealthy people and profitable corporations. www.dcfpi.org/all/house-re...

RFK Jr.: "Make America Sick Again"

Listening to Ohio Senate Rs speak so condescendingly of the 58% of Ohioans who voted to legalize marijuana - while voting to overturn their will and roll back the law - was truly one of the most disgusting moments I’ve witnessed at the Statehouse. And that’s saying something.

No child should go to school hungry. But today, families are struggling with rising costs for groceries and 1 in 5 kids don't know where their next meal will come from. So glad to see this proposal to make breakfast and lunch free at schools. #DignityForAll www.news5cleveland.com/news/politic...

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

Too many families are struggling to afford rent, groceries, and childcare. In Franklin County, a staggering 39% of households struggle to consistently make ends meet. We can do more to give kids and families some relief. 1/ www.rtiico.org/post/governo...

This seems very good!

Great to see our family tax credit bill incorporated into the Governor’s budget!

Governor DeWine’s proposed budget includes a change to the tax code that would help thousands of families with young children. The proposal is a $1,000 tax refund per child (under age 6) per year. For my policy friends: it’s a refundable child tax credit (CTC)! 1/

The likely next president of South Korea will likely introduce a universal basic income.

A Guardian journalist reporting that Trump is about to claim the authority to shut down an entire federal agency:

hey question, is this bad?

Trump wants to cut taxes for his billionaire friends. His plan to pay for that includes taking free school breakfast and lunch away from children. Kids will be hungry at school so he can redistribute more resources & wealth to the wealthiest 1%. 1/2 ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/01/28/f...

ODM's stated goals (of the proposal is) are to promote economic stability and financial independence and improve health outcomes. Putting up additional barriers for people to get healthcare coverage would have the opposite effect. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/01/16/a...
