Stating the obvious in a positive way

The1929 Permanent Apportionment Act stopped adding to US House. The House is now a Senate. Citizens of large states are now underrepresented in the Legislative and Electoral College. The result is clear. Many countries have >900. The US should have 900+. #politics #senate #USHouse #electoralCollege

A child in an Idaho faith-healing family died of a treatable condition. Then another died — and another, and another. Idaho’s child abuse laws contain such broad religious exemptions that authorities didn’t intervene — before or after the deaths.

Columbus is insisting on change and demanding a government that works for Ohio. I’m proud to be in this fight with them.

If South Carolina wants to have a Senator that does whatever Trump says, they could have kept Lindsey Graham like Kentucky has kept Mitch McConnell.

President Donald J. Trump commuted the prison term of David Gentile, who led GPB Capital, less than two weeks after he began serving a seven-year sentence in a $1.6 billion fraud that prosecutors said harmed more than 10,000 investors. theintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/trump-free...

Speaker Jeffries meeting with Jared Kushner tells me Jeffries is seeking power and not working for the people. Jared Kushner is a criminal. Is he confirmed by the Senate for anything?

Great quality of life, cheap wholesale electricity, policies that attract the best employees, the world's greatest major research universities, the leading destination for venture capital... CALIFORNIA! www.gov.ca.gov/2026/07/24/c...

California’s overall economy grew at a 3.7% annual pace in the first quarter. Only Washington state had a faster rate of expansion at 4.5%.

China is not screwing around. The United States has become a footnote. Supply chains, manufacturing, influence — China is flooding the zone all across the globe. As California doubles down on our low carbon green growth efforts, the Trump admin is doubling down on stupid.

A former producer of CBS News’s 60 Minutes is interested in launching a rival current affairs show featuring journalists and production crew members who left the network now spearheaded by Bari Weiss, according to a report. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

If you are against the wealth tax on the ultra rich, then please suggest alternative to the problem that people who are increasing their wealth by tens or hundreds of millions of dollar per year never have taxable events and so never pay taxes.

This is what the legacy media doesn't cover. Luckily, I built Democracy Docket to fill this gap. Help support independent, pro-democracy media by subscribing to Democracy Docket now. demdock.com/4w6emld

Mitch McConnell is extending his Eternity Leave until at least August 4. Here’s the last known photo of him when he was still somewhat alive. Gift link. 👇 www.nytimes.com/2026/07/27/u...

So Sam Altman is going to DC to bribe Trump, and some Senators. How completely normal in the administration.

We cannot let this go. Remember Pretti and Good!

Why are cars still able to drive into a crowd of people? That should simply not be possible.

Jon Husted says our “work ethic is broken.” I think that's B.S. Ohioans are working harder than ever just to get by, while Jon Husted gives CEOs and billionaires tax break after tax break.

One less pervert in NYC. I’ll help him pack.

The foundational principal of the Southern Baptists is that slavery is God's way, and there's nothing wrong with abusing your chattel slaves any way you like. So now Southern Baptists insist in the face of hundreds of convictions that there is no problem with sexual abuse by Southern Baptist clergy

As the climate crisis brings more sudden and extreme wildfire threats to California, we're meeting the moment with state-of-the-art firefighting technology and fire prevention work. Our extraordinary firefighters continue to step up to protect communities up and down our state.

I presume the Trump family extracted as much wealth from that Tate brothers as they could. Now they are flushing these two pieces of shit.

Remember, senators, the most corrupt aspect of Blanche’s “settlement” with Trump was immunity from tax audits. The slush fund for the insurrectionists seemed to be just a decoy. He has walked back the slush fund, but not the immunity! www.nytimes.com/2026/07/12/u...

While the new bipartisan housing bill is helpful in small ways, it will not counteract the biggest problem. The higher and rising interest rates created by Trump tariffs and made even worse by the Trump war.

The question is not can bumbling arguing Democrats win the senate. The question is will Trump lose it for Republicans.

Al Franken was awesome. A Senator from NY destroyed him. That hurt.

Trump and other billionaires raped children and the news is focused on the Maine Senate race.

Any US win will now be tainted by DJT's request to reverse the red card. Anything DJT touches dies.

Consequences are needed for such interference.

Imagine the great deal this administration will get with Mexico and Canada on the heels of the "deal" with Iran.

So great to see bitcoin tanking. I hope all those who got it as payments for criminal acts are losing their a$$es.

So, do I have this right? We’re removing artificial colors from M&Ms but giving immunity to companies that poison us?

It’s hard to be a farmer – it’s even harder when you don’t have leaders in Washington looking out for you. By voting in favor of reckless tariffs and a costly war, Jon Husted has hurt Ohio farmers.

John Bolton very much brought Trump to power and created all the conditions for the present en-shitification of the US government. Good to see him identified as guilty of doing what he accused Trump of doing it I hope some day some others will face the same reckoning.

Why would Leon Black allow Epstein to rip him off for $60 million and then do nothing about it? Sounds like Leon is trying to look like a victim. But a cut throat business man that gets ripped for $60 million doing nothing about it makes no sense unless there is a reason to live with it. I can guess

The US putting Venezuela first again. Members of Congress need reduce this administration,s out of control spending on other countries.

I’m proud to be in this fight with Clevelanders who are ready for leaders that work for them, not billionaires and corporations.

Markets create wealth. Competition makes them work.⁣ ⁣ Being pro-market isn't the same thing as being pro-business. The force that drives innovation and prosperity is the same force many businesses would rather avoid.⁣ ⁣ https://newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/sifting-through-the-wreckage-of-an

Instead of doing his job and bringing down costs, Jon Husted is blaming working people for struggling. Ohioans see right through his lies.

Why no women on the next NASA Artemis? Especially since tests by William Randolph Lovelace II in 1960-61 (now called the "Mercury 13") showed women do better in some important ways? The same reason that NASA refused to complete the tests. The USA has regressed in ways that will hurt.

Trump recommended bleach for COVID. Surprised he has not used it on the reflecting pool yet.
