A blessed Eid to all who celebrate.
An image in shades of gold. At the top are objects hanging from an imagined "ceiling:" a brass lantern; a crescent moon; small stars; a lamb; and two paper lanterns. 

At the center are the words 
HAPPY
Eid al Adha
MUBARAK

At the bottom of the image is the outline of a sacrificial bull, with a skyline of towers and minarets crowned with the star and crescent inside the outline.

Ohio elects township, municipal & school board positions in odd-numbered years. If you want to see more Democrats on your ballot, please consider running in 2027. (You can file as a write-in for county positions this year, too.) Contact our office for more info. It's not too early to start.

Ohio needs a Secretary of State who will protect Ohioans' voting rights, not make it harder and harder for citizens to vote. We are lucky to have two fine candidates competing for the Democratic nomination for Ohio Secretary of State. Whichever you choose on May 5, vote Democratic in November!

AN example of how to quote his tweet: Donald Trump moved his deadline (reiterated Saturday) to start committing war crimes by 24-hours--"Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one"--even while admitting that he cannot reopen the Strait of Hormuz himself.

HB 249 just passed the House by a vote of 63-30. This is incredibly disappointing. This bill is yet another attempt to silence and censor the LGBTQ community by denying drag performers their constitutional right to free expression.

Ohioans know that the reason property taxes are up across our state is because of the GOP statehouse. (Eg. Vivek’s running mate) For years, they've handed out money to special interests, pushed the burden down to property taxpayers, and hoped that nobody notices. Same trick, year after year.

A chart entitled "FOOD STAMP MYTHS" with MYTH on the left and FACT to the right of each myth.

MYTH: People who get SNAP don't work
FACT: The overwhelming majority of SNAP recipients who can work do work

MYTH: SNAP is a drain on taxpayers
FACT: Every $1 in SNAP benefits generates $1.73 in economic activity

MYTH: SNAP is rife with fraud and abuse
FACT: SNAP has a fraud rate less than 3% (the lowest of any public benefit program)

MYTH: SNAP benefits go to undocumented immigrants
FACT: Undocumented immigrants have never been eligible for SNAP

The USDA’s current position is that these funds “are not legally available to cover regular benefits.” This, however, directly contradicts guidance that the USDA issued on September 30 which explicitly states that contingency funds can be used for regular benefits.

Choosing to let kids go hungry
The USDA asserts that Democrats are blocking funding to secure “health care for illegal immigrants” and funding for “gender mutilation procedures.” All of these claims are false.

Even if the House was fully functional, they're in session for an avg of 147 days and out for 218. Under Speaker Johnson, Congress has been in session only 12 of the last 97 days, and he still won't swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva. These are the people who demand Work Requirements.😐

The Trump Admin rule would make it much more difficult to qualify for both SSDI and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Because it would dramatically change the eligibility criteria for older applicants, the losses among people over age 50 would be much deeper.
