Don’t be fooled by their rhetoric. The reason property taxes are rising in Ohio is because the nation’s most corrupt statehouse strips billions away from local services and schools in order to pay for giveaways like vouchers for private schools and tax cuts for Ohio’s 1%.
The Ohio House meets at 11 this morning to take up three of Gov. Mike DeWine’s 67 line-item budget vetoes. A three-fifths majority, or 59 votes, is needed to override. The budget passed with 59 votes, so Republicans can’t lose any votes. by Karen Kasler wvxu.org/2025-07-21/ohi…
Dear @DemCalifornia Do this👇👇👇
A hypothetical CA 49-3 House Dem redraw: Completely adheres to the Voting Rights Act and probably defeats 6 Republican incumbents. Really up to incumbent House Dems about how aggressive they want to be, if there's a redraw and the legislature gets the power to draw it...

These documents detail a treasonous conspiracy by officials at the highest levels of the Obama White House to subvert the will of the American people and try to usurp the President from fulfilling his mandate.
If you refuse to see what is happening, the cancellation of the Colbert show should open your eyes. I want to explain to you what a censorship state looks like - where a corrupt government gives favors to media that suppresses criticism of the regime.
Gerrymandering is a cancer on American democracy, and Trump, Mike Johnson, and Matt Huffman want to use it to rig the 2026 election.open.substack.com/pub/davidpeppe…
Done with CBS.
On the heels of Bill Owens resignation @60Minutes this clearly shows @CBS playing serious politics. “Over the past months, it has become clear that I would not be allowed to run the show as I have always run it,” Owens wrote.

🚨 🚨 Question: You may have heard that Republicans plan to gerrymander both Ohio and Texas in order to gain more seats in the House for the 2026 election. But have you heard that the only reason they can even do this in Ohio is because the Ohio GOP… 1/

Power costs rose twice as fast as overall inflation in June and are consuming an increasing share of disposable personal income, @liamdenning writes. Trump and the GOP are actively making this worse by throwing up obstacles and increasing taxes on new electricity supply!
The best time to stop this was last November. Now that they are underway it's imperative to stop them before they gather momentum,before the infrastructure for inhumanity is in place,before the machine is completed. Important whiteboard from David Pepper!open.substack.com/pub/davidpeppe…
