NEW: DOGE has requested and is being granted “access to all SBA systems,” per an email sent to Small Business Admin employees today. Edward Coristine, a DOGE official, held a call with SBA staff detailing level of access they wanted, including HR, contract and payment systems

Ohio exports more to Canada than we import. In fact, we’re one of their largest trade partners.
The proposed tariffs will be felt more in Ohio than many other states, and disproportionately impact our small businesses.

My early take is that this pick is likely ok for the SBA’s lending programs. Both 7a and 504 loans rely heavily on private capital and help banks lend more than they otherwise could conventionally. Her Senate voting record shows support for the SBA and many COVID-era #smallbiz relief programs.

It is very sweet watching people find each other here who haven’t spoken in a long time since our previous platform was irrevocably broken. For all its faults Twitter really was a community.
