J.D. Vance largely avoids pivot to center in Ohio’s U.S. Senate race after culture-war heavy Republican primary - "In one particularly dark podcast interview in September 2021, Vance called for the firing of millions of federal government employees, likening it to the need for political purges in post-World War II Nazi Germany or Iraq following the fall of Saddam Hussein.
"The federal bureaucracy, Vance said, undermined ex-President Donald Trump’s term in office and needed to be replaced, regardless of civil-service protections. He said ex-President Donald Trump – or whoever – should flout whatever court decisions attempt to block the move, which he called 'de-wokeification.'
"'We are in a late republican period,' Vance said in the podcast interview with Jack Murphy, using another historical metaphor that refers to the transformation of the classical Roman Republic to the Roman Empire. 'If we’re going to push back against it, we’re going to have to get pretty wild, and pretty far out there, and go in directions that a lot of conservatives right now are uncomfortable with.'"

Opinion The D.C. child-care ruling is a disaster for young families - "The time and financial costs of obtaining the credentials create a new barrier to those considering working in the sector and encourages exit for those without the 10 years’ continuous experience needed to avoid the rule. Previous research from economists Diana Thomas and Devon Gorry has found that state requirements for lead carers to have even a high school diploma increase prices by 25 percent to 46 percent. The D.C. educational hurdle is much more stringent."
