Ohio House sends Gov. DeWine two measures to change child labor laws
The state can’t make the change without the federal government rolling back an almost 90-year-old law, the Fair Labor Standards Act.

The USDA’s current position is that these funds “are not legally available to cover regular benefits.”
This, however, directly contradicts guidance that the USDA issued on September 30 which explicitly states that contingency funds can be used for regular benefits.

Choosing to let kids go hungry
The USDA asserts that Democrats are blocking funding to secure “health care for illegal immigrants” and funding for “gender mutilation procedures.” All of these claims are false.

Even if the House was fully functional, they're in session for an avg of 147 days and out for 218.
Under Speaker Johnson, Congress has been in session only 12 of the last 97 days, and he still won't swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva.
These are the people who demand Work Requirements.😐

Here is Mike Johnson complaining he is tired.
40 million people are about to starve.
Rep. Grijalva was elected five weeks ago and he still hasn’t sworn her in.
AND YOU SAY YOU’RE TIRED?

Kelly: "You gotta remember in Trump's big legislation they added $4t to the debt to give a big tax cut for wealthy people on the backs of the American people & what their healthcare costs. That's why these [subsidies] have gone away. They didn't want it to be $6t. They wanted it to just be $4t."

Telling moment: I was walking back from the rally, but a couple miles from it, carrying nothing but my gigantic American flag. An eight year old on his bike sees me with it and yells "No Kings!!" with absolute conviction.
My friends, they have lost the flag.

The rule will disproportionately harm people in the South & Appalachia--as well as Maine & the Rust Belt states of MI, OH & PA.
They have more older workers w/fewer years of formal education & are more likely to have worked in physical jobs like manufacturing/mining.

The Trump Admin rule would make it much more difficult to qualify for both SSDI and Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
Because it would dramatically change the eligibility criteria for older applicants, the losses among people over age 50 would be much deeper.

Make no mistake: Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) *is* Social Security.
It provides essential benefits to workers who can no longer support themselves due to severe & long-lasting disabilities, bridging them to retirement.
Nearly 80% of beneficiaries are 50+.

Despite repeatedly promising not to cut Social Security, the Trump Admin is reportedly preparing a proposed rule that could reduce the share of applicants who qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance by up to 20%--which would be the largest cut ever. 🧵

I was a Young Republican for a brief time in the 1980s (for real). I promise you they talked like this back then. They didn’t know I was Jewish, so the Holocaust jokes flowed freely. It all helped radicalize me against the right.
“Epithets like “f----t,” “retarded” and “n--ga” appeared more than 251 times combined”
If you ever had any doubt that the youth wing of the GOP is fully radicalized and proudly racist these days:
