This is the concern faculty in Ohio have with the passage of SB1 in our state. Some unscrupulous student will use the law to gain notoriety. The recent path of Ohio Higher Ed administrators is to fall in line with MAGA.

Some Republican members of Congress knew about this attack on another country. No Democratic members of Congress were informed. Friends, we are officially into one political party taking this country into a rogue authoritarian state.

Trump violates the U.S. Constitution. Republican control of Congress will do nothing. Vote in November, to impeach Trump and his entire administration. This country needs to return to law and order.
“Whether the outcome is ultimately good for Venezuelans, as I hope, or bad, Trump has betrayed Americans,” Conor Friedersdorf argues. “He could have tried to persuade Congress or the public to give him permission to use force. He didn’t bother.”
Trump’s Risky War in Venezuela
The president has violated the Constitution and is showing contempt for the will of the public.

1. In the immediate aftermath, news outlets will get it wrong.
2. Don't trust anonymous sources.
3. Don't trust stories that cite another news outlet as the source of the information.
4. There's almost never a second shooter.
5. Pay attention to the language the media uses.
- "We are getting reports"... could mean anything.
- "We are seeking confirmation"... means they don't haveit.
- "[News outlet] has learned"... means it has a scoop or is going out on a limb.
6. Look for news outlets close to the incident.

Republicans wanted to hide this, but the reason Jack Smith subpoenaed Senators phone records was because of evidence co-conspirators were call to persuade them to stop certification of Biden's election.
The transcript of Smith's testimony is damning.

So in spring, Pam Bondi said there was nothing to the Epstein investigation, then “closed” it. Now, they “find” 1 million more docs.
So did she close this without seeing these docs? Or was someone hiding them?

I fight every day for NW Ohioans who will be left behind if the ACA tax credit's are not extended this week. 4 Republicans have shown the courage to join all Democrats on a discharge petition to extend these credits—the real question is will Speaker Johnson have the courage to allow a vote?

Nothing Congress voted on this week lowers costs for working families.
We asked Speaker Johnson to change that. He refused.
We have a discharge with 218 signatures to keep health care costs from rising nationwide. It didn't get a vote.
