BREAKING: Vivek Ramaswamy's biotech firm Roivant collected a $950 million upfront payment from Moderna on July 8 for COVID-19 vaccine technology — the same week the Republican gubernatorial nominee was vacationing in Europe and campaigning against vaccine mandates and the state's pandemic response. Ramaswamy, who founded Roivant and holds roughly 7 percent of the company, has made attacking Democrat Amy Acton's COVID record central to his campaign despite his own 2020 record supporting vaccines, mask-wearing, and a federal immunity registry as the firm's CEO.

161,385 Ohioans have lost ACA health care coverage following the Trump health care cuts according to official data. This is a 32% drop, the worst in the country.

While Trump builds a ballroom to himself, thousands of Ohioans can no longer get the basic health care they need.

The Trump administration violated U.S. law by providing Iran’s government with confidential information detailing the asylum applications for Iranians it planned to deport, a new lawsuit filed in D.C. alleges. https://t.co/1mP3nObNpF

A White House report brands the leadership of the Smithsonian Institution, especially at the National Museum of American History, as radical activists who cannot be trusted, indicating that President Donald Trump may be preparing to install his own team. https://t.co/1hkhn7Gmho

#BREAKING: Psaki: “Today MSNOW’s Vaughn Hilliard…reports that Trump’s new Acting DNI Bill Pulte has carried out another PURGE within the intelligence community firing dozens of career officials. One official told MSNOW that the administration is targeting people who they believe are Deep State.  Remember that Bill Pulte is a 38 year old home construction nepo baby who had ZERO intelligence experience before being appointed to this role. That’s his background, everyone, he has only had the job for two weeks. But somehow he has already decided that dozens of career intelligence officials are part of the so-called Deep State and fired them. As one former official told MSNOW, and this is quite a quote: ‘This isn’t a guy who’s familiar with intelligence. It would be like me taking over a hospital and firing dozens of surgeons in a matter of days.’”😳

What a picture from @orr_photo of @Reuters — a Black woman on a train surrounded by masked white supremacists, emboldened in Trump’s America. One for the history books.

From @WSJopinion: Foreigners are being led to believe they can buy American goodwill or favors if they cut the Trumps in on the action. Americans deserve better from this or any President.

President Trump promised his “big, beautiful bill” would supercharge the economy. Critics saw something else: a giant transfer of resources from low-income Americans to the wealthy.

One year later, the biggest consequences are still to come. https://t.co/5LX0ePdWqX

American workers' share of the nation's income is at its lowest point in almost 80 years, as more of the economy's gains flow to corporations and investors. https://t.co/jNkAZL3olw

At a press conference on higher education, I asked Senate Finance Chair Jerry Cirino about GOP gov. nominee Vivek Ramaswamy's comments about shutting down universities like Kent, CSU, UA.

"I don't know how much he knows about how higher ed. works."

Trump DOES NOT CARE about the higher costs that are crushing families.

He raised prices with tariffs, he raised health care costs with his cuts, and now he’s blocking housing legislation.

Trump is a selfish man focused only on making his family and friends rich.

[Rep. Shontel Brown @RepShontelBrown]

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is an encapsulation of Trump’s failed presidency: bad ideas with a side of corruption that lead to a bad result.
Trump has turned a national landmark into an embarrassment.

🚨🗳️Governor DeWine must save vote-by-mail and veto House Bill 472. He has until Wednesday to either sign or veto this anti-voter legislation. HB 472 puts all of us at risk and leaves Ohioans vulnerable to identity theft.
Take action: https://t.co/LfvtCEv4p3
