Ohio has secured almost fifteen million dollars from the federal government to support children from birth through age five. The state plans to use the money mainly for a mobile app that answers parents’ questions about child development, and also for training programs that teach early childhood educators how to read science.  

The grant shows the state’s focus on getting kids ready for kindergarten before they even start school. By improving digital tools and giving teachers new reading skills, Ohio hopes to give every child a stronger start.  

In other news, some Ohio lawmakers are moving forward with a bill that would require people who want medication for an abortion to sign paperwork warning them about possible risks. Supporters say it will help patients make informed choices, while critics worry it could scare people away from safe medical care.  

Ohio politicians also faced a mixed reaction when President Trump posted a video that showed former President Obama and First Lady Michelle as animals. Some Ohio Republicans publicly denounced the clip, but others stayed silent.  

A Toledo man was recently arrested for threatening Vice President Jon D. Vance during a visit to the state, and the U. S. Secret Service is holding him while authorities investigate further.
