Give me your questions if you want to play with me. Biden Staff Press screening Psaki Press Briefing Questions. So if you want to be called on you should warn the Biden folks of what you’re going to ask?

According to three sources with knowledge of the matter, as well as written communications reviewed by The Daily Beast, the new president’s communications staff have already on occasion probed reporters to see what questions they plan on asking new White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki when called upon during briefings.

One reporter raised the issue during an informal White House Correspondents Association Zoom call last Friday. According to multiple sources, leaders at the meeting advised print reporters to push back against requests by the White House press team to learn of questions in advance, or simply to not respond to the Biden team’s inquiries.

Was it really that long ago that Democrats represented the working man and woman? Ohio Dem says many in party ‘can’t understand’ working-class concerns

Was it really that long ago that Democrats represented the working man and woman? Ohio Dem says many in party ‘can’t understand’ working-class concerns. Here’s what’s scary. Tell me what this means.

Of the top 20 wealthiest districts, 19 are represented by Democrats. Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) district is the fourth-richest in the nation, according to Kaptur’s data.

Democrats also dominate the upper half of the nation’s districts by a clear margin, with the bottom half disproportionately choosing Republicans as their members of Congress.

Appalled when a fellow Democrat said this to Congresswoman Kaptur.

A Democratic colleague of Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio) recently suggested a simple solution to the economic problems afflicting the industrial Midwest.

“ ‘Well, Congresswoman Kaptur, the answer is: Leave,’ ” Kaptur says she was told by the Democratic member, whom she declined to name.

You don’t get to hide under the kitchen table and cry for your mommy. Ohio Judge Rules Against Teachers’ Union, Says CPS Can Resume Blended Learning

You don’t get to hide under the kitchen table and cry for your mommy. Ohio Judge Rules Against Teachers’ Union, Says CPS Can Resume Blended Learning. A Hamilton County Common Pleas judge has rejected an injunction request against Cincinnati Public Schools. The union representing teachers filed suit last week seeking to delay a return to in-person learning.

The union says 80% of teachers don’t feel safe going back into classrooms without widespread coronavirus vaccination. School district attorney Evan Priestle says that concern isn’t well-founded, quoting a recent study from the CDC.

“As many schools have reopened for in-person instruction in some parts of the U.S. as well as internationally, school-related cases of COVID-19 have been reported but there has been little evidence that schools have contributed meaningfully to increased community transmission,” he says.

Today, the Hamilton County Court of Common Pleas denied the Cincinnati Federation of Teachers’ union motion for a preliminary injunction and dismissed the lawsuit. We look forward to welcoming our students back into the classroom beginning tomorrow, Feb 2. https://t.co/tofAf8iwnT pic.twitter.com/eIYWACYDPQ

Just because the COVID 19 Lie plays in Chicago and other blue cities and states, the judge wouldn’t let the lie as an excuse in blue CINCINNATI.

How to pay off campaign debt? Use PAC money you said you wouldn’t take. Democrat Elaine Lauria said if elected she would not take PAC money for her campaign. She didn’t. She took PAC MONEY TO PAY OFF HER CAMPAIGN DEBT.

The liberal-leaning group End Citizens United, which tracks the lawmakers and candidates who pledge to reject corporate PAC donations, has criticized Luria’s about-face on the matter, as have Republicans.

Tiffany Muller, president and executive director of End Citizens United, said in a statement last year that Luria breaking her pledge “would demonstrate that her values have changed since she’s been in Washington or that she wasn’t sincere to voters in the first place. It will be a heavy burden on her to explain to voters why she is going back on her word.
