Trump’s war in Iran costs Ohioans $0.66 cents MORE per gallon at the gas pump. That’s the second-highest increase in the U.S.
 
Americans don’t want this war, but now, we’re footing a bill that costs $1B per day, is driving up costs, and still doesn’t have an exit strategy.

This digusting Islamophobia is in-American and unbecoming of a sitting member of Congress. It must be universally condemned.

Trump's war in Iran has caused gas prices to jump 66 cents in Ohio since last week. That's the second highest increase in the nation.

Rest in power to Reverend Hilton O. Smith, a true public servant who dedicated his life’s work to making Cleveland stronger.

From working with Mayor Carl B. Stokes to expanding opportunities to help our communities get a fair shake- Rev. Smith made Cleveland a better place.

White House cryptically posts football highlights with bombing footage Sports fans are in shock after the White House posted an edited video of Iran bombing footage that also featured highlights of heavy football hits.

Disrespectful and deeply out of touch.

The White House can't say why they started this expensive war or what they're trying to do. And as prices rise and risks increase, they're focused on videos.

No wonder the American people strongly oppose Trump's war.

The latest jobs report was bad for everyone, especially for Black Americans. Under Trump the Black community is now facing recession-level rates of unemployment.
 
Higher costs, fewer jobs, lost opportunity. Trump doesn’t care.

Ohio gas prices spike as oil prices soar According to AAA, the national average for a gallon of gas has gone up by 34 cents since Monday.

Ohio can't afford Trump's wars.

Trade wars. Wars in the Middle East.

It's adding up to higher prices in Cleveland.

I’ve been sounding alarm bells on Kristi Noem’s misuse of taxpayer dollars since last year.

Noem may be gone from DHS, but Oversight Democrats will not stop investigating what appears to be blatant self-dealing, corruption, and a network of grift. There must be accountability.

War is not a meme, a video game, or a TikTok reel.

The White House treating it as such is not just disgraceful -- it again shows a total lack of the seriousness, judgment, and respect for the high stakes of war that this moment demands.

The U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February, stoking labor market worries The U.S. economy has remained a mixed bag, in part because of a government shutdown and a lack of clarity over the Trump administration's tariff agenda.

Higher costs, fewer jobs.

Trump is ruining the economy.

The Trump Administration's lack of preparation, communication, and support for Americans in the Middle East is completely unacceptable. I joined colleagues demanding that the State Department do everything they can to get Americans home.

Good Riddance, Kristi Noem. You served with complete dishonor, were entirely unethical, and oversaw countless ICE abuses. My only regret is that you were fired before you could be impeached.

Trump tried to overturn the 2020 election and pardoned those who violently attacked the Capitol.

Now, he’s demanding voter registration data to sow fear, create chaos, and undermine future elections.

And the rubber-stamping Republicans down in Columbus are happily playing along.

Ohio sends voter registration data of nearly 8 million residents to DOJ Secretary of State LaRose says the handover is required under federal law.

Shame on Ohio for handing over personal voter data to DOJ.

While other states DEFEND their voters and elections from Trump’s attacks, Ohio happily gives in.

$1 billion PER DAY for Trump's War with Iran.

A war that he still can't explain why we're fighting or how it ends.

Meanwhile, the largest cuts to Medicaid and SNAP in history.

Are we the Oversight Committee or the Overlook Committee?

Because Trump is treating the White House like an ATM and Republicans in Congress don’t care.

What's likely to get more expensive because of Iran war Oil prices are surging already, but the war with Iran will likely have a ripple effect across industries.

Are we positive Trump knows people want LOWER prices, not higher ones?

Thank you to everyone who came out to support local youth.

Trump on lack of evacuation plan for Americans in Middle East: "It all happened very quickly" President Trump said Tuesday about Iran, "I thought we were going to have a situation where we were going to be attacked." Mr. Trump said there wasn't an evacuation plan for Americans abroad because "...

This is Trump’s "Concepts of a Plan" War.

He can’t explain why it’s happening, how it ends, or share a plan for how he will get Americans stuck in the region to safety.

Trump seeks to justify Iran war, but stated objectives shift The operation's stated aims and timeline have shifted since it began.

Congress will FINALLY be briefed by the White House tonight. Meanwhile, they can't get their story straight on their justification and objectives for this war.

I'm worried that Trump and his chaotic White House have started a war that they don’t know how to stop.

On Friday, I joined Canterbury Elementary in Cleveland Heights for their Black History Month celebration.

Marian Edelman once said, "You can't be what you can't see." That's why it's so inspiring to see young people learning about Black leaders.

Thanks for having me Canterbury!

The Trump Admin is continuing their reckless rush to sell the Celebrezze Building. This is wrong for Cleveland, and I’ve sought basic facts about this – with no real answers.
 
I’m calling on the Government Accountability Office to investigate their broken process.
