Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine.

If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

The world will probably always ask introverts to flex towards extroversion, and I do resent that reality. So for us introverts it’s important to make sure we preserve spaces and times for the solitude that enables us to thrive.

When Vivek Ramaswamy was asked this week how he would combat childhood hunger, he tossed aside the starving kids in our state and said that if you know how to read, you should never find yourself in poverty.

First responders keep our communities safe, often at a great personal cost. Many retire before 65 and lose access to affordable healthcare.

Our bill with @gallego.senate.gov fixes that by giving them the option to buy into Medicaid earlier, so they get the care they’ve earned.

Vivek Ramaswamy made it clear that he thinks Ohioans’ struggles with costs are their own faults because they’re too lazy to work hard.

Ohioans deserve a governor who respects them.
Acton: I’m running against a guy, Vivek Ramaswamy, who has said that people are struggling in Ohio because they’re lazy, they’re mediocre, they’re not working hard enough. And I can absolutely tell you that is not the Ohioans I know or see. I think he’s completely out of touch.

This Veterans Day, I’m thinking of the millions of Americans who have served in uniform — and how our government is failing them right now.

Words aren’t enough, we need actions. Fund the VA. Fund mental healthcare. And end endless wars.
