@OhioAMF @OAMFStephanie @OhioMAHACaucus @jenniferforrep @OhioSenateGOP @RenzTom Did you make that post through a data center? Your group does a fantastic job with hysterics but not so much with the facts.

[Ohio Senate GOP @OhioSenateGOP]

Sen. Chavez co-chaired the first meeting of the Joint Select Committee on Data Centers today, joined by Sens. Reineke and Wilkin. The committee heard from state agencies and grid experts. Data centers are an economic opportunity and a national security issue. The Ohio Senate is committed to getting the policy right for every Ohioan.

Fighting fraud on Ohio's EBT SNAP cards. Senator @TimSchaffer Schaffer fought for upgrades to Ohio's Supplemental Nutrition Program for years to make sure the benefits are available for the people who need them the most. The Senate unanimously passed his bill, SB 315, that did just that. Watch him deliver some straight talk about fraud this week on The President's Podcast.

[FBI Director Kash Patel @FBIDirectorKash]

🚨 Arcadia Mayor Eileen Wang in California has been charged with acting as an illegal agent of the People’s Republic of China in the United States.

Mayor Wang admitted to acting as a foreign agent from at least 2020 through 2022 - promoting PRC propaganda in the U.S. and acting at PRC’s direction to promote their interests. She has agreed to resign from office and plead guilty.

@FBI and our federal partners continue to move aggressively to root out this kind of influence in American institutions all over the country.

Ohio spends how much per pupil on K-12? Then why does the state have a chronic absentee rate of 25% and big city districts are far higher? Senate Education Chairman Andrew Brenner joins the President's Podcast this week to talk education spending, enrollment, and property tax reforms.

Highjackings are rare, but that obviously doesn’t mean we should abolish TSA. It also doesn’t mean travelers don’t want a convenient and comfortable flying experience.

The same goes for our elections. Election security and voter convenience work together to ensure every voter can participate with confidence in a fair result.

Youngstown State University @youngstownstate President Bill Johnson served 7 terms in Congress, and 27 years in the United States Air Force where he was the Director of the CIO Staff at U.S. Special Operations Command. He knows the threat our country faces and why STEM is critical for our college students and the Artificial Intelligence race here at home.
It's a must see President's Podcast.
