Walk with us in the Pride Parade!

We’re calling on Senator Bernie Moreno and Senator Jon Husted to join Democratic Senators in demanding accountability and action from acting Secretary of the Navy Hung Cao and Pete Hegseth. The health and safety of our service members should not be a bipartisan issue.

Their office info will be in the comments so you can call and demand they take action as well.

Several Democratic lawmakers are calling for answers after concerns were raised by families of sailors aboard USS Abraham Lincoln about the deteriorating living conditions and worsening mental health during the ship’s record-breaking deployment amid the war with Iran.

Once a grifter, always a grifter.

“After the company debuted in a $1.4 billion IPO, the largest in biotech history at the time, Vivek and his mom found a "back door" to sell their shares and walked away with more than $260 million, according to the report. That left investors holding the bag, including one teacher who lost their $1 million retirement savings from the fiasco, the report found.”

A Trump-aligned candidate for governor in Ohio has long touted his biotech experience, but much of his success may have been due to his mom doctoring data, according to a new report.

Adding this to the list of expenditures to remember when Republicans start telling us that we can’t afford “entitlement programs” like Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security as soon as the midterms are over.

Trump hid in a catering cart and used his staff and the media as decoy targets.

Two weeks later, he posted an image of himself as a decorated, 4 star general, standing alongside MacArthur and Patton.

He is an embarrassment this country may never live down.

Ramaswamy will gladly lie about being anti-data center, or whatever else is convenient in the moment, but his plan has always been to strip Ohio for parts and sell us to the highest bidder. Whatever advances his interests, and those of his funders, not ours.

Utility and gas PAC donations to Ramaswamy roughly doubled to $65,603 after a watchdog first flagged the money, with the biggest checks arriving on the filing deadline.

The Republican candidate for Ohio’s 9th Congressional District’s Republican Primary voted to expand Ohio’s data center tax break back in 2017.

Taylor Farms is why we have antitrust laws and labor laws and food safety laws.

The reason they continue to get away with violating the above is a government that won’t prosecute Trump donors (and a Republican penchant for deregulation).

There are state laws they could face as well, and a better Ohio Attorney General would already be taking action to protect Ohioans. That’s why it’s important we elect John Kulewicz this November. These Republican AGs only serve corporate and special interests, not ours.

Nothing to see here. Literally, they’re destroying the evidence.

Interior officials have been spotted routinely shredding documents and using disappearing Signal messages, in clear violation of the Federal Records Act. https://trib.al/kpuEvsH
