Sherrod Brown's U.S. Senate campaign releases a new ad scorching Jon Husted for slashing Medicaid: "You can't hug our daughter, take your picture with her, and then cut the care that she relies on."

Every drop of honey begins with the quiet dedication of countless worker bees. They carry golden pollen from flower to flower, supporting biodiversity and keeping nature in balance. Their work is silent, yet its impact reaches every living being.

Back when I was a young man, CEOs made about 20 times the salary of their employees. Today a typical CEO makes over 280 times more. Here's what we can do about it.

The U.S. Secretary of Defense just stated that—so far—the war with Iran has cost $37.5 billion dollars. That's since February. That same amount is how much the United States spent on planetary science from FY2013 through FY2026 inclusive. Thirteen years of planetary science or five months of war.

The Curiosity rover on Mars. At about $2.6 billion, it buys you about ten days of Iran war.

Holy shit! Sen. Peters had enough of Hegseth’s bullshit. Imagine asking taxpayers for billions more during an “utter and complete failure” of a war. When Hegseth couldn’t defend it, he acted like criticizing the strategy was insulting the troops. Peters called him out.

Thought we didn’t have money in the USA for healthcare. Yet the Defense Department’s latest estimate puts the cost of the war with Iran at $37.5 billion. Funny how we’re always told we can’t afford to invest in people’s health, but somehow tens of billions of dollars for war can be found.
