I'm angry about the bill in the House; it's evil and so many people will be hurt. In Knox County, 2,628 people rely on Medicaid for health care. And rural hospitals and nursing homes will be devasted by this bill. I called Balderson's office today; have you? (202) 225-5355 or (614) 523-2555

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.
The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

The House of Representatives will vote on the SAVE Act today - call your Representative and tell them to vote NO!

69M married women could lose their voting rights if the SAVE Act is passed. Transgender individuals too.
Why? Absent a valid passport, you must present a birth certificate *with the same name as your registration* to be registered.
This is insane!

A good reminder about proper language. Don’t inadvertently normalize actions and places by using somewhat benign words. Call them what they are — kidnapping, trafficking, and concentration camps.
Kidnapping.
Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping.
Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking.
A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

stop calling things deportation just because they call it deportation.
-You cannot legally deport people without due process.
-You cannot legally deport citizens.
-They are defining down deportation to break the law.

Not only is Husted unreachable, he's also dumb.
America,
Quick briefing on Ohio’s newest Senator. He’s infamous for being one of the least intelligent people on the public scene.
Not quite Tuberville level. But in that category. You’ll see how much he struggles here, and then falls back to lame slogans to save himself.

OMG! Their new slogan should be Make America Unsafe! Call senators and congresspeople to make sure they know how pissed we are about this -- So astonishingly irresponsible!
Just in case anyone was wondering, every bit of this was classified.
Lot of perjury in those hearings yesterday.

It’s bad enough that Trump wants to close the Department of Education
After all, this will halt crucial services for disabled and impoverished kids
But let’s remember WHY he’s doing it:
They can’t lower taxes without spending cuts
Yep
Cutting services for kids to give tax breaks to billionaires

And, sadly, our "representative" to the Ohio House, Mark Hiner, voted in support of this bill.
Ohio House Republican lawmakers voted to pass a massive higher education overhaul bill Wednesday that would ban diversity and inclusion efforts and prevent faculty from striking.
