ICYMI: Jon Husted is lying to you. He says "nobody is going to lose their Medicaid coverage" as a result of Trump's budget bill.

But Husted voted for the bill that will cause up to 490,000 Ohioans to lose healthcare and may close up to 11 rural hospitals.

A senior couple earning $82,800 a year could face a 236% increase in their premiums. A family of four earning $64,000 a year could face a 226% increase in their premiums. People will lose their health insurance, or It will become unaffordable. This is a life and death issue in Ohio.

We're over a week into the government shutdown and Republicans are still refusing to lower healthcare costs for Ohioans.

They've put 490,000 Ohioans at risk of losing healthcare completely.

Dems are standing up for you.

Now, Trump says he might not pay all federal workers back pay, going against previous guidance from the admin.

Federal workers are losing their pay because Republicans want to gut healthcare to payoff billionaires. www.cnbc.com/2025/10/07/t...

The shutdown of the federal government is being led by Republicans and may cost people their jobs.

Don't let them trick you. The GOP is sabotaging our economy.

Economists say job losses likely, even as shutdown delays report • Ohio Capital Journal

Friday’s jobs report is missing in action because of the federal shutdown, but economists are finding other ways of measuring apparent job losses concentrated in Midwestern states and oil country.

Ohio's soybean farmers are struggling thanks to reckless tariffs that Sen. Jon Husted supports. www.cleveland.com/news/2025/10...

China’s not buying U.S. soybeans, and that’s making Ohio farmers anxious

Normally, China would be buying billions of dollars worth of Ohio soybeans at this time, but not this year.

TLDR: Yes.

Are Republicans violating Ohio Constitution by slow-walking the redistricting process?

Ohio's latest congressional redistricting process show Republicans and Democrats have two very different interpretations of constitutional redistricting rules.

Rural Ohio is being gutted by Trump's tariff chaos. Prices for seed, fertilizer, and machinery are increasing and produce is rotting in fields.

Chris Gibbs put it perfectly, “We’re in a hell of a mess here,” and it's a mess Ohio Republicans helped create.
