I stand in solidarity with the workers of United Steelworkers Local 3057 in Shelby as they strike for better working conditions. Ohioans deserve fair wages and strong benefits, and I'll always stand with them while they fight for what they've earned. www.richlandsource.com/2026/01/22/s...
Shelby steelworkers remain on picket line amid ArcelorMittal strike
There are about 450 ArcelorMittal employees in the bargaining unit, according to Steve Ackerman, a USW International representative.

Another promise broken. We have to stop taking Trump's claims at face value and start looking at the results. This Administration isn’t delivering for American workers.

These are not the words of a President who thinks rationally. Our allies are forced to take this seriously.

It is NOT acceptable for an American President to be threatening aggression or war against our NATO allies.

It is WAY past time for this Republican Congress to intervene.

Taking over Greenland is not a joke. Trump is sending messages to foreign leaders and making threats that will destroy the most important alliance we have. Are Republicans in Congress and Marco Rubio really ready to throw NATO away because they’re too afraid to stand up to Trump?

.@amyactonoh , yesterday: “John Kasich expanded Medicaid because it was the smart thing to do. When people are uninsured, all of our health care costs go up."

Ramaswamy: Medicaid (and Medicare) were “mistakes.”

That’s the choice, Ohio
Klein: Were Medicare and Medicaid mistakes?

Ramaswamy: I believe they were. With the benefit of retrospect, particularly Medicaid.

A woman was shot dead on camera and Trump’s ICE is launching a full scale coverup. Nobody is above the law. Federal agents who break the law in Minnesota, Oregon or anywhere else, must be prosecuted.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Minnesota investigators say they can't access evidence after fatal ICE shooting and FBI won't work jointly on probe.

Ohio cannot afford Vivek Ramaswamy as governor.

Dr. Acton is the only candidate for Governor who knows what it’s like to worry about bills, and she’s ready to tackle Ohio’s affordability crisis on Day 1 and fight for Ohio’s working families.

For months, Trump’s DHS has wreaked lawless havoc in our neighborhoods. Tear gassing infants, families, and police. Firing their weapons at peaceful citizens. Killing innocent people.

It’s brutal, unconstitutional, and out of control.

It must stop.

Kristi Noem must go. Now.

Whatever happens now, we absolutely cannot allow Trump's refusal to seek Congressional authorization for what appears to be a large scale military attack on another country vanish from the media discussion, which already appears to be happening.

The Constitution gives states the power to determine the time, place and manner of elections. Only Congress can change the rules for federal elections. The White House has no role to play in any of this.

For those of us warning about democracy's potential disintegration, the decision by CBS to pull an exhaustively researched 60 Minutes piece, critical of Trump, is another red alert moment.

When truth disappears as the media gets coopted by the regime, there's little left.

Jon Husted just voted against lowering health care costs for Ohioans AGAIN.

That makes 9 times that he’s refused to help struggling Ohioans afford health care.

Jon, you should be ashamed of yourself.

For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.

If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.
