Ohio State's President is going to be appearing with Trump & Vance at the White House on the same day this is happening. Mind-boggling that OSU's Ted Carter is continuing with that appearance at a time when 11 of his own students have had their visas revoked. A shameful day for OSU.

Hmm I remember when Jason Altmire promised SEIU HCPA that he'd vote for the ACA and then voted against it. (I was there at the time). May Fitzpatrick have as bright a political future as Altmire

This is SB 156, proposed bill in Ohio to teach the "success sequence" of graduating HS, getting full-time work, and marrying before having children. Since union members make 18% more in wages than non-union counterparts, I'm sure the OH GOP majority will add that into the success sequence, right?

"This should not be understood as a cost-cutting action, but rather as part of an ideological attack on intellectual freedom & public services.

What Booker did was good. Denying unanimous consent moving forward isn't as flashy but would have much more of an impact in slowing down the trump/musk/gop agenda. Dems, you can do it.

union leaders need to learn not to praise trump even when he does something they like because a) he is capable of backtracking immediately after hearing opposition from billionaires & b) the day after you praise him he might just turn around & strip union rights from a million of your union siblings
