For too many Ohio families, a voucher is just a coupon that can’t be used. Ohio’s kids, no matter where they live, deserve the quality, local public schools that are required by the Ohio Constitution.

The tech giants - Google, apple, Amazon, etc - innovation has stagnated. They have no competition and no motivation to try to do better. They need to be broken up

The govt relies on nonprofits to help feed & house people, to provide them healthcare, to help keep people safe.

That the trump administration and their supporters spread lies & misinfo about nonprofits to try to take their money away is cruel and inhumane

Ron Johnson: "Tariffs are a tax. When you tax something, you get less of it, so we'll probably get fewer imports, but then with retaliation, fewer experts. Smoot-Hawley was not particularly successful and helped sparked the Depression, so I share the markets' concern."

Billionaires are not trustworthy

Trump and Elon musk are radical lunatics. We need to get them out

Bloomberg: Musk said DOGE was shutting down payments by the US Department of Health and Human Services to Lutheran Family Services, a faith-based charity that has been providing social services to refugees. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

If you’ve been wondering what Elon Musk and his lackeys are up to since taking control of the US government, look no further. Our latest story names six 19- to 24-year-olds working with his DOGE organization, which now has access to sensitive federal systems. wrd.cm/4jzpiSN

Elon Musk is enacting powers he doesn't legally have - he's enacting a coup basically.

And cowardly republicans are just going to roll over for him and let him do whatever he wants. They're too afraid to do their jobs as elected members of Congress

Trump's tariffs are a cover. He wants to cut taxes for billionaires and corporations, and he wants to use tariffs to pay for those tax cuts. He wants to make regular working class people pay higher prices in order to make his billionaire cronies wealthier

Elon Musk is not a Federal employee or a political appointee. DOGE is not a real department. None of their activities are legal. This is a coup. The Republicans in Congress are willing participants in it. At what point do Democrats in DC get that and start acting like it? It’s not the price of eggs!

An unelected billionaire is trying to steal money from nonprofits.

What authority does he have to do anything like this?

And where is Congress in enacting checks & balances on the executive branch?
