US BUDGET DEFICIT SOARS
The deficit jumped 19% to $291B in July. This is despite $21B collected from Americans due to higher import taxes, which led to higher costs on goods like furniture, footwear, and auto parts.
The deficit for 2025 is already $1.63 trillion, up 7% from the last year.

Ohio's biennial budget continues the Republican Party's tradition of starving social services and transferring wealth to the ultra-rich.

The Yin and the Yang of Governor Sleepy Tea
In Ohio, you have to cherish the wins no matter how small. And Mike DeWine delivered several big wins with the stroke of his veto pen.

You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).
