Wage theft.
What is illegal but is done so much it feels legal?

Your reminder that the top 1% evades $163 billion in taxes each year — but instead of garnishing their wages and withholding their tax refunds, they get more tax breaks and the elimination of the teams at the IRS who investigate tax evasion. This is what an oligarchy looks like.
BREAKING: Trump's Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt just said: “The government can and will collect defaulted federal student loan debt by withholding tax refunds, federal pensions, and even their wages.”

Just when you think they can't go any lower- HHS dismantles the Advisory Committee on Newborn Screening. Make no mistakes. This is catastrophic. And I won't attempt to sugar coat it any longer. HHS is putting the health of our children at stake. medpagetoday.com/special-rep…

Society of what
Honored to speak on a panel hosted by the Society of Gas Lighters in NYC to discuss how Ohio’s forward-thinking energy policies are attracting record investment and driving economic growth back home. The Midwest is leading—Ohio is proving it.

An awful lot of the anti-Semite @SJPOSU “Long Live the Intifada” losers that march from @OhioState down to the Statehouse are just like Khalil. They might want to get their bags packed before the next one. 👀

The administration is attempting to eliminate the union rights of federal employees across the government. We will vigorously challenge yesterday’s illegal order and fight on behalf of union members across the nation.

BREAKING: CEA joins teachers and parents from State Rep. @BrianStewartOH’s House District to demand that he do his job and fully fund schools! The school districts Stewart represents face a total of $76,000,000 in cuts. Unacceptable. Our Schools, and our futures, are #InOurHands!

If you think that this regime is just going to try to move education funds into new agencies without rolling back rules and protections for kids, or without losing crucial dollars because DOGE says so, you haven’t been paying attention to the last few weeks.

As seen in other states, the SC voucher fund has insufficient accountability & oversight. So far: - $1.5 million sent to Florida-based company called Class Wallet to administer. - $1.5 million spent on 4,387 computers. We don’t know what type of computers are being bought or if they are being returned for money or credit. - Homeschooled children have received vouchers, which is illegal under voucher law. How will these funds be recovered? - One voucher recipient was attending a school in a different state. - Who are the 453 tutors? What are their qualifications? All of these issues with just 1,845 vouchers. Imagine if we did have 10,000 vouchers.

OK, I'm going to try to make this simple. Measles is VERY, VERY contagious. More contagious than flu. Or Covid. Or RSV. When vaccination rates drop, measles can spread like wildfire. Some children will get very sick. A few will die. That's why it is important.

A crucial article. Ohio politicians often claim they've been increasing school funding, but that claim ignores reality Public schools, which 90% of #Ohio kids attend, have been starved while the state funnels $$ to unregulated charter/private schools statenews.org/2025-02-19/dew…

McMahon goes on record saying private schools funded by taxpayer vouchers—including a federal voucher scheme—do and should have the right to turn children away if those children don’t fit those private schools’ needs. It’s not parent choice. It’s the school’s choice.

Privatizing public education will create an increasingly segregated school system in America – not just based on race, but by class. We must not have a two-tier educational system: Private schools for the wealthy, and public schools for low-income and working-class students.

Thank you to these Democratic #Ohio senators for fighting loudly and passionately against the Higher Education Destruction Act (SB 1) on the Senate floor Ohio sees and appreciates you @Liston4Ohio @cingram32 @HearcelCraig @Liston4Ohio @KentKSmith @SenBillDeMora @RepWeinstein
Now, Ohio Senate is debating the higher education bill, SB 1, which is expected to pass. The bill had hundreds of opponents testify yesterday. "This bill actually extends academic freedom," says sponsor @SenatorCirino. ohiochannel.org/live/ohio-se…
