“Don't tell me what you value, show me your budget, and I'll tell you what you value.” -POTUS

State budget negotiations are happening now for the most impactful bill (HB33) that will be passed this GA. Thanks to the folks at @HowThingsWorkOH for the great toolkit below.

[Secretary Miguel Cardona @SecCardona]

Families across the Nation are impacted by immense student loan debt, we’ve got to do more.
I see you and @POTUS and I are fighting for you.

[Josh Cowen @joshcowenMI]

“Data-proven” you say?

“Math scores” you say?

Let me introduce you to actual objective #schoolvouchers data, which show math scores falling at #COVID19 and Katrina rates when vouchers come to town. #txlege #TXed #schoolchoice

[Public Ed Partners @OhioPEP]

Both the Ohio House and Senate state budget bills expand school privatization at the expense of our public schools that serve most children. Even if the conference committee agrees to less extreme measures, the Ohio biennial budget is destined to be an extremely bad policy.


[David DeWitt @DC_DeWitt]

Anti-LGBTQ+ laws are leading to worse mental health for LGBTQ+ youth, more violence against LGBTQ+ people, and increased suicide and suicidal ideation among LGBTQ+ kids.

Ohio Republicans are all in. All of America’s major medical associations are opposed https://t.co/tCLJQ3xZwE

[Jon Cooper 🇺🇸 @joncoopertweets]

Corrupt as all fuck.

[Warren County Dems @WarrenCoDemsOH]

The disingenuousness of Frank LaRose on full display. Definitely worth a listen!

[David DeWitt @DC_DeWitt]

Here are all of the expert Ohio medical, pediatric, and psychological organizations opposed to the Ohio Republican attack on health care for LGBTQ+ youth.

In favor of the attack are religious fanatic lobbyists and lawmakers using government to dictate their anti-science dogma.

[The Intellectualist @highbrow_nobrow]

🚨Six people tied to the GOP are accused of forging signatures in attempt to get a Republican candidate on the primary ballot for the 7th Congressional District (CD7), according to the Colorado AG’s office. @9NEWS.

[Morgan Trau @MorganTrau]

NEW: Ohio House leadership voted to protect a scandal-ridden law that forces ratepayers to spend millions funding “dirty” coal plants.

In doing this, the Republicans likely killed the bipartisan repeal effort.

"There’s violence, laws enacted in Florida which are disgraceful. There’s a law now that, if you visit a doctor in Florida, they can refuse to treat you if you’re gay, which I find just unbelievable. We seem to be going backwards. And that spreads.”

[James Womack🇺🇲🇮🇱🇺🇦 @retiredtrnman]

The #FBI has identified many people who incited violence at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, but it still needs your help to bring others to justice. If the person in this photo looks familiar, submit a tip at https://t.co/LRUnRA40bG or 1-800-CALL-FBI, and mention photo 264-AFO.

[Congressman Robert Garcia @RepRobertGarcia]

Marjorie Taylor Greene accused me of attacking her personal character today. But I brought the receipts. She has a long history of religious bigotry and attacking people who don’t hold her insane views. I won’t stop calling her out.

[Ohio Citizen Action @OHIOcitizenact]

well of course they did

[Nancy Osborne @NancyOsborne180]

So, maybe we'd better rethink online and homeschooling. Because that's what we had during the pandemic. Now that the crisis is over, let's make sure all kids are back in schools with qualified teachers.

[(((Dan Fleckner))) @knigdan]

Wow! @Jim_Jordan & the extremist @HouseGOP are doing a wonderful job, through Durham, of showing why the "Hunter Biden bribery" allegations are total bunk & merely a partisan witchhunt meant to interfere in the next presidential election.

[NJ Bats @NJBatsa]

More than 90% of our nation's children attend regular public schools. 95% of parents love their community's public schools. #SupportPublicSchools Not charters. #TBATs @MIBATS @OhioBATs @NEABATCaucus @PennBat @AFTBATcaucus @VirginiaBATs @BATs_DC @BATsDelaware @MarylandBAT
