22 hours agoThere are a lot of things the people of Ohio need our senators to work on right now. This is not one of them. Even as an attempt to use the law to divide people —a strategy that serves some politicians and their sponsors quite well—this is just kind of dumb. twitter.com/darreldrowland…

2 days agoIt’s simple – if you work extra hours, you should earn extra pay.
Yet millions of American workers are denied the overtime pay they’ve earned because of outdated laws. I’ll never let up in our fight to fix that.

David DeWitt @DC_DeWitt
2 days agoWild to see gerrymandered politicians who had nothing to say about Ohio's billion-dollar bailout, money laundering, racketeering, and political bribery criminal convictions, now telling voters they should shoot themselves in the foot to get protection from special interests.

3 days agoWe were going to try to live-tweet @soundofideas today, but it's just non-stop bangers. From objective facts and empirical data to observations about the technical failings of the bill, to simple observations about basic fairness, Debby Geier is absolutely dismantling HB1.
