In Ohio news, the republican governor is not endorsing the DOGE reject billionaire his party nominated who wants to get rid of teacher's unions.
Instead, he's making news with comments in defense of his party's *opponent* to replace him post-retirement.
Weird times.

Thank you @golden.house.gov & Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick for leading the Protect America’s Workforce Act to undo Trump’s union-busting order and restore union rights for 1 million federal workers.

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

Because it’s so obvious as to be a hand-in-your-face, my state rep has gone to media to whisper “maybe war crimes?,” but super quiet so that he doesn’t make the man angry.

I have planned & hosted these ceremonies at two different jobs, and I can 100% confirm that @kevinmkruse.bsky.social is 100% correct. And I would guess that probably 90% of people born in this country couldn’t pass the citizenship exam that new Americans have to pass to be naturalized.
If you've ever been to a naturalization ceremony, you know they're filled with people whose palpable love of this country is twenty times stronger than the pinched "patriotism" of any native-born MAGA chud.
Just unspeakable assholery.
