Ohioans tend to vote roughly 55% Republican and 45% Democrat in statewide elections.
That means Ohio should be represented in Congress by:
🔵 7 Democrats
🔴 8 Republicans
That’s why Ohio Dems have introduced a map that would ensure Ohioans are truly represented in Congress.

He did not respond to questions about vaccine mandates in Ohio schools. @sherrodbrownoh.bsky.social should talk about this every day. Husted doesn’t care about Ohioans.

“Rep. Jennifer Gross, a Republican from southwest Ohio, shared the video to her X page…”
Like Vance and Moreno, Republican leaders in Ohio are so quick to sell out their own constituents for attention. There is no interest in governing, only hating.

Sherrod Brown to run for U.S. Senate in 2026, challenging Jon Husted
Brown’s decision, which comes after months of speculation, gives Ohio Democrats perhaps their best hope of unseating incumbent U.S. Sen. Jon Husted.

But will they trust the jobs data now? At this point, everything becomes suspect. Trump has essentially created the corrupt government he pretended to rail against.
Trump says he doesn't trust the jobs data, but Wall Street and economists do
The monthly jobs report is already closely-watched on Wall Street and in Washington but has taken on a new importance after President Donald Trump on Friday fired the official who oversees it.

Interesting thing I’m noticing as I move away from Amazon - the goods I was purchasing were not cheaper than my local retailer. It was just more convenient. But I really need to get out more so this boycott may be easier than I thought. #Resist

Yes! This! Public Education is the great equalizer and the GOP knows this. Smart people with critical thinking skills are their worst enemy. Pay attention to who you elect to local school boards. Watch for state laws that “protect” students but are really designed to control what they learn.
Most of our problems could be solved by properly funding public education.

You know what strikes me? Out of all the things Trump has done this week, not a single one helps a single person. Literally 10s of millions of people are hurt by the things he's done, but not one is helped.
It's beyond cruelty; it's malice by governance.
