🙄 Vivek says Democrats caused Ohio’s affordability and education crises.
Quick reality check. Republicans have controlled Ohio for over 30 years, including 27 years of full GOP control. Republicans do not get to break the system, run the system, and then blame someone else for the damage.

Five years ago today, a mob incited by Donald Trump attacked the U.S. Capitol to overturn a free and fair election. It was an attack on the Constitution and peaceful transfer of power.

The threat to democracy isn’t always foreign. Remember the truth. Defend democracy. 🇺🇸 💙 #ButlerCountyDems

Every year, the Christmas Bird Count draws tens of thousands of birders for the 126-year-old event that blends birding and data science.

This year, it’s on track to set another record for participation. https://wapo.st/495gE9V

This year was about showing up for our neighbors, our values, and Butler County’s future. We organized, listened, and kept moving forward together.

We are pausing for the holidays and will be back in 2026 ready to build even more. Wishing you rest, warmth, and joy this season.

Families should not have to rely on charity to meet basic needs. A functioning government would make sure people have food, heat, and warm clothing.

Thanks to the BCDP community, nearly $3,000 was raised to support families this season. This is what caring for our neighbors looks like.

Every checkout line in Butler County tells the same story. Holiday gifts (and food) cost more while paychecks stay the same. Republicans have raised costs and left working families behind.

The AFL-CIO stands with the Australian labor movement in condemning the horrifying antisemitic attacks at Sydney’s Bondi Beach. America’s unions reaffirm our commitment to fight bigotry, hate, and violence as we push for a fair and just world for all.

Families could pay tens of thousands more out of pocket. Children could lose protections. Junk plans could deny coverage for pre-existing conditions.

Your voice matters. Tell your senators to support the clean ACA subsidy extension and protect affordable, comprehensive care for everyone.

The Senate votes TODAY on proposals that could change health care for families across Butler County. One plan extends ACA subsidies. The other raises premiums and deductibles while adding new restrictions on abortion and gender affirming care.

Your voice is more powerful than threats from a weakening, unpopular president. If they hear enough from you now, legislators may still do the right thing.

Hoosiers, call today and tell them to vote no: 317-232-9400.

Indiana Republicans are under significant pressure to do something they know is wrong: rig the maps and silence voters.

Washington Republicans are demanding a "9–0 map." That’s not democracy - that’s cheating. They know it, and they’re ashamed, which is why they’re hesitating.
