Trump on imams: "I said, 'Do you want to die?' They said, 'We don't want to die.' I said, 'What about the 38 virgins?' They said, 'That's nonsense! We don't know anything about it.' And we won the state of Michigan."

Elon can help DOGE by cutting all of the federal contracts held by his companies. He said he cares about cutting waste, fraud and abuse, right?
DOGE says it has saved $160 billion. Those cuts have cost taxpayers $135 billion, one analysis says.
The push by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency to slash federal funding will cost taxpayers money, nonpartisan group finds. Here's why.

Trump and his administration are defying court orders, including an order from SCOTUS. Are we finally going to admit that we’re in a constitutional crisis and what are we going to do about it?

As a reminder, when Trump says he is putting massive tariffs on China, or any nation, that means he is putting a massive tax on YOU.

China doesn't pay a single penny.

You, the consumer, do.

The legislature’s proposal to slash Ohio's amazing system of public libraries is unconscionable, and will harm children, families and communities across the state. As Governor, I will fight against efforts to take away our right to enjoy them and the vital services they provide.
The Ohio House is trying to eliminate a dedicated library funding mechanism from the state budget.

It would cost Ohio libraries $100 million over the next two years and force the Ohio Library Council to lobby for funding each budget cycle.
