Trump wants to make sure it’s as easy as possible for his friend Putin to bomb apartment buildings and kill children. He’s not just the worst president in history, he’s the most evil person to ever serve at the highest level of government. Vote out his weak Republican enablers.

Trump and Musk are doing everything they can to try and force Ukraine to surrender to Putin while Musk spends over $300 million to try and buy the midterm elections to maintain total power. The American government under Republicans are on the side of evil. Vote them out.

Contrast this with the lack of serious punishment Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller got, whose conduct was far worse. Scheller then got a senior appointment in the Pentagon from Hegseth.

Ohio farmers work too hard to watch their hard work get swallowed by rising costs. When diesel in Ohio is nearly $7 a gallon, it costs more to get food to our tables. As governor, my number one priority will be bringing costs down for everyone, including our farmers.

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.
