Trump slashed funding for the CDC

As the cyclosporiasis investigation continues, and we continue to side-eye our iceberg lettuce and raspberries, we have an important reminder: In one of his first moves in office, Trump slashed funding to the CDC. As a result of funding not keeping up with demand and staff being forced out by …

I can’t believe Fox News just did this

[link removed] John – This is remarkable: Fox News (yes, Fox News), moved Ohio’s Senate race to a “Toss-Up,” increasing our chances of flipping this seat! What we’re building here in Ohio is special, and even Fox News can’t ignore it. Our momentum is growing by the day – but so is the tar…

My New Bills to Tackle Lead Safety

John, This week, I introduced two new bills to speed up the removal of poisonous lead pipes from aging homes: The GET THE LEAD OUT Act and the REPLACE Act. This bill would create a new federal grant program run by the Department of Housing and Urban Development to replace lead-based pipes and …

Fwd: Welfare for the wealthy and well-connected.

John, According to a recent poll published by the Washington Post, two-thirds of Americans say that the cost of groceries is unaffordable. This is a direct consequence of Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” and his War of Choice, which still has no end in sight. The Trump administration’s priorities …

Stunning news here in Ohio

John, this is not the news I wanted to be sharing. My team and I got word that yet another GOP dark-money group is committing MILLIONS to this race – $28 million to be exact – to defeat me and ruin our chances of flipping the Senate. National Republicans are doing everything in their power to …

A “big yawn”

First: Trump stated that he doesn’t “think about Americans’ financial situation.” Then: After prices rose at their fastest rate under this leadership, Trump stated, “I love the inflation.” Now: Trump has stated that the bipartisan housing bill – which will help lower home prices and limit corp…

Trump’s vanity projects

While families are struggling to keep up with rising prices for food, housing, gas, and utilities, Trump is focused entirely on himself. John, Trump is spending taxpayer dollars on a lavish White House ballroom. He’s tearing up the reflecting pool for an ego boost. And he’s putting his name…

Welfare for the wealthy and well-connected.

John, It has been one year since Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” became law, and the results have been anything but beautiful. Americans are facing higher prices, higher inflation, slower job growth, and an economy that works best for those already on top. Since the passage of this legislation…

John, it's Marcy Kaptur HQ. Shontel Brown wanted us to let you know: Marcy's opponent would be a disaster for OH-09. He's a hard-right MAGA candidate who came within a fraction of a percentage point of defeating Marcy in 2024. We need all hands on deck to defend this seat. If you're able, plea…

He’s undermining our elections

John, Our democracy is in danger. Trump is not only doubling down on his Big Lie of election fraud, but he is also ramping up pressure for the Senate to pass the so-called SAVE America Act ahead of the midterm elections, which would disenfranchise millions of voters from being able to cast a ball…

This is a diabolical abuse of power.
