For 2 years this Administration has taken efforts that severely harmed our economy—wage growth is falling, while unemployment is on the rise. Their reckless across the board tariffs on our closest allies, war of choice in Iran, and tax breaks for Billionaires haven't made life more affordable.

Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!

Nancy 9/29/26 … “Sluggo’s Terrible New Hat” Part 2
Nancy is in disbelief, at the sight of Sluggo’s terrible hat. She hesitantly asks him what’s up, he says not much. She questions “you sure?”

Jon Husted just voted to continue the Iran war for the 14th time. While Ohioans are paying record high costs at the gas pump and the grocery store, Jon Husted is voting for more war – and costing you more money – every chance he gets.

There is no more pressing issue for NW Ohioans than rising costs. A series of arbitrary and reckless tariffs along with an unnecessary war in Iran have pushed many Ohioans to the breaking point. The rising cost of gas, diesel, fertilizer, aluminum, and more has driven up prices everywhere.

Kroger, which wants to buy yet ANOTHER grocery chain: -Ranks among the largest companies with employees dependent on Medicaid & SNAP -Paid its CEO $14M last year, 417x its median worker's pay of just $34,552 -Spent $12.3B on stock buybacks since 2019 This is what corporate greed looks like.

The threat of higher prices on consumer goods including gasoline, automobiles and more is a big, heavy gut punch. The President best review what impact this will have for our Great Lakes economy, because it’s extremely damaging. Our people cannot afford what he has foisted on us.

I don’t agree with all Abdul El-Sayed’s views, but GOP “othering” is a disgrace. He was born in US, educated at Bloomfield Hills Andover, where he captained football team; Univ of Mich; Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar; Columbia, where he earned an MD. Debate his views, not whether he’s a “real” American.

Since the start of the President’s war of choice in Iran, American consumers have spent an additional $56.4 Billion on gas—$477 per household. Hardworking NW Ohio families cannot afford these added costs.

a friend coined the term “yasslighting” to mean “when you are stupid wrong but your bad influence friend keeps telling you the opposite out of some bizarre obligation never to question you.” Gambling websites, manosphere toxic masc trainings, many cults, and more are all built to yasslight.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the World Cup. I have loved cheering for the US team. Then that fucker intervened. Yes, the red card was excessive, but I would rather lose because of it than win because Imbecile called FIFA. The joy is gone. Now we’re the bad guys. He destroys everything.

The "hydration break" really is a perfect American capitalist innovation: a nakedly commercial play to insert more ad revenue into a game that doesn't have ads anywhere else in the world, all under the guise of some humanitarian interest in the players' wellbeing.
