Ohio's MAGA Senators voted five times to block the War Powers Act to require Trump to get Congressional approval of his billion-dollars-a-day war...but they don't explain why.

Trying to smear her qualifications to be governor, Republicans say Dr. Amy Acton quit on Ohio during the pandemic. Acting as GOP-endorsed candidate Ramaswamy's attack dog, State Senator McColley is repeating the lie...without mentioning the truth: Dr. Acton resigned because then House speaker/now convicted felon Larry Householder pressured her to approve legislation that she believed would endanger Ohioans.

Rob McColley--Ohio Senate President and GOP candidate for Lt, Governor--and House Speaker Matt Huffman pressured the Ohio Ethics Commission to kill their rule requiring financial disclosures from board members of for-profit charter schools that receive $1.6 billion Ohio taxpayer dollars.

David Pepper looks at the history of gerrymandering around the country and reacts to the "travesty" of Ohio's new Congressional Districts map.

During the City Club of Cleveland's live "Conversation with Senator Moreno" on Aug. 21, Bernie praised Trump's policies, repeated misinformation, and slickly dodged opposition questions from the audience. Several times he was jeered by some when he said things like "[Trump] should get the Nobel Peace Prize."

A bipartisan Senate Resolution to terminate the national emergency Trump declared to impose global tariffs was voted down 50 to 49. Senators Moreno and Husted voted to kill the resolution, effectively voting to allow Trump to continue his tariffs.

The Senator talked to Fox News about Trump's tariffs: "the best years of this country are ahead of us." He also said Trump "is so popular in states like mine."

Interviewed on Toledo TV-13, Senator Moreno talked about the confirmation of his "friend" Kash Patel as FBI Director; how Trump will end the Ukraine war; and how he (Bernie) is working "really hard all day" to make our lives better--without any specifics.

According to Policy Matters Ohio, the legislature has cut taxes in the last 20 years so that the richest 20% of Ohioans get 70% of the benefits. Now House Bill 617 would eliminate capital gains taxes to save most of us only about $40, while the richest 1% would save thousands.

On January 28, promoting his run for Ohio Attorney General, Auditor Keith Faber wrote an op-ed that appeared in newspapers around the state: "Renee Good wasn't an 'innocent.'" Days later, numerous readers wrote letters-to-the-editor critical of Faber. Click the button to read the op-ed and a report on Ohioans negative reactions.

While GOP politicians like Senator Moreno praise Trump's potentially unconstitutional military action, Sherrod Brown wonders why Washington is focused on foreign countries as hundreds of thousands of Ohioans struggle to make ends meet. And former Governor Kasich is troubled by the long-term impact on world peace.

In the hour long Q & A in Cleveland carried on PBS, Moreno would declare "it's 100% true," "it's provable facts," or "you can look it up" while spreading disinformation and dodging questions about Trump's Big Bill, January 6th, ICE, the Ukraine war, and cutting Medicaid. To audience members who vocally disagreed, Moreno said "you can act childish...but that's just the fact."

After the failed attempt to place a referendum on the November ballot to let voters decide if S.B. 1 should be enacted, it went into effect on June 27th. The "Advance Ohio Higher Education Act" bans diversity initiatives at public universities, forbids faculty from striking, and gives politicians control over classroom content.

Even though over 1500 people submitted opponent testimony, the Governor signed S.B. 1 into law. After taking effect on June 27th, public colleges will no longer be allowed to have DEI practices on campus. A school violating the ban risks losing state funding. Also, classroom discussion will be regulated and faculty strikes prohibited. Click the button to read the Act for yourself.

In response to a constituent's email or phone call critical of the Senator's actions, Moreno replies with a generic message that doesn't address the issue for which he was being criticized.

Matt Huffman sets Ohio House rules that restrict constituents from gathering in the House during a session and shortens the time for public notices of floor votes on bills from 24 hours to only ONE HOUR. Fifty-nine advocacy groups sign an open letter that reads: the rules "blatantly attack Ohioans First Amendment rights."
