Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Vivek Ramaswamy Departs DOGE to Launch Campaign for Ohio Governor 

HeadlineJan 21, 2025

Former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy said Monday he will leave his position as co-chair of Trump’s incoming Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, and will mount a campaign to become governor of Ohio. According to Politico, DOGE co-chair Elon Musk made it known in recent days that he wanted Ramaswamy out. Three lawsuits filed in federal court Monday accuse DOGE of violating federal transparency laws. A fourth lawsuit filed by the Center for Biological Diversity seeks DOGE-related records under the Freedom of Information Act.
