Voters' top concern — most polls show — is costs, which is why almost every campaign is focused on the issue, including that of Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Sherrod Brown, who spoke to supporters in Toledo on Thursday.

Here's a recap. ▶️ https://t.co/DPLUFhR3tz

As someone who was unavailable to witness the buildup to the 2006 midterms, as a result of being negative two years old at the time, I'm interested in hearing some thoughts on the parallels — or lack thereof — between then and now.

What's the same? What's different?

#Election2026 🗳️ | NBC News paid a visit to my stomping grounds this week, as Ohio's 9th Congressional District race is one of the most competitive in the country — and, with a narrowly-divided House, will be key in deciding the balance of power. https://t.co/3Fjk72DtmJ

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries calls actions by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank "unacceptable" and urges additional action by the Trump administration.

For insight into what's been happening in Qusra, watch my report from Saturday: https://t.co/zMEGG7aAC6

[Hakeem Jeffries @RepJeffries]

The ongoing siege of Palestinian homes in the West Bank by violent, lawbreaking settlers is unacceptable.

Enough.

The Trump administration must compel the Israeli government to protect the lives, property and livelihood of innocent Palestinian civilians.

Tim Ridi lives here in Northwest Ohio, and during our one-on-one interview, he provided insight into what his brother and nephew — who live in a northern part of the occupied West Bank — are being subjected to by Israeli settlers.

Furthermore, this is all playing out as Qusai and Ahmed's supply of food and water wain.

Special Report ▶️ Through the lens of surveillance cameras, which have since been disabled, Tim Ridi has watched — from thousands of miles away — Israeli settlers attempt a siege on a home in the West Bank.

[Jaden Jefferson @Jaden_Reports]

While the Israel Defense Forces have conducted operations to remove the settlers, concerns have been raised about the IDF's commitment to combating these illegal settlements.

[Jaden Jefferson @Jaden_Reports]

The settlements, despite their illegality and condemnation from the U.S. ambassador to Israel, have not, Ridi says, been adequately addressed by the IDF (Israel Defense Forces). Full story to come.

#Election2026 🗳️: With polls showing a close gubernatorial and U.S. Senate race, hundreds of millions of dollars are expected to be spent on advertising in Ohio.

[Jaden Jefferson @Jaden_Reports]

@sarah_thehuman It's not just you! While chatting with friends on Saturday, I had to pause and realize just how quickly our four years of high school went by. And now, in less than two weeks, I'm off to college. This stage of life moves fast!
