The Ohio House will soon vote on a Republican-backed bill that would allow counties, cities and other local governments to block library levies from the ballot. But libraries said voters deserve the right to make the decision on those money issues. by Karen Kasler www.ideastream.org/2025-11-04/b...

This morning Ohio Senators are in committee deciding on a bill that would throw away valid votes from eligible voters that were mailed on time because of mail delays outside of a voter's control. That's not right. Urge your state senator to vote "No", here: lwvohio.salsalabs.org/urgentstopsb293

After shutting down the government instead of making healthcare remotely affordable, Republicans like Vivek Ramaswamy are going to try to pivot to "affordability."

The Hamilton County Republican Party has scrubbed multiple social media posts in relation to a joint canvassing event with Cory Bowman and Secretary of State Frank LaRose scheduled for this weekend.

Rep Stewart says backroom talks are happening with Democrats on the Ohio Redistricting Commission about a possible deal to give the GOP more congressional seats. From Texas to Missouri and North Carolina, Democrats have held the line on gerrymandering. Ohio leaders must do the same #fairmapsoh

Ohio Republicans gave Cleveland Browns $600 million OF YOUR MONEY to build a new stadium and abandon Cleveland. This is how they thank us

oops!

Jon Husted trying to run a campaign poll on survey monkey but you can't get past this question if you don't support him

For what it's worth, it costs about $600 minimum to take an Ohio teen driver's ed course. If this is good public policy, the state should find a way to pay for it and not tax families and young adults.

so many people in Ohio are looking into VPNs right now

thank you to Democrat Bill Demora especially who sponsored Ohio's age verification bill www.legislature.ohio.gov/legislation/... @adamgilson.bsky.social

Meanwhile, in 1981…

Thanks to a new law passed by Ohio lawmakers and signed by Mike DeWine, bluesky won't let us access DMs or see adult content until we can show ID to prove our age. sirs, we're a website, we cannot drive Anyway, DMs are closed forever

You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.

 ⏰11:00 AM 📍Finance Hearing Room Senate Building (126) Testimony due by 11 am Sunday: redistricting.legislature.ohio.gov/meetings

🚨 Ohio is redrawing its congressional districts, and the Constitution demands an open, transparent process. But as @ohiocapitaljournal.com reports, lawmakers haven’t even released a map for public review before hearings. That’s not what voters approved in 2018. 🧵

🚨 New: Ohio GOP leaders are blocking hearings on Democrats’ proposed congressional map by refusing to send it to committee. 🚨 With a Sept. 30 deadline looming, Ohioans could be shut out of testifying on the map altogether.

who wore it better??

can't have a taylor swift engagement dorm theme because of DEI

kids can't decorate dorms now because of anti-woke

hearing from DC that after they finish cleaning up trash, the National Guard will start bussing tables at local eateries

People left their families and jobs behind so they could go to DC and aimlessly wander in parks collecting garbage. Awesome.

maybe if your ideas are getting "boos" and jeers it's you that's the problem

Mike DeWine sent Ohioans to do this

incredible things are happening in washington dc

Tonight, Vivek Ramaswamy is hosting a panel discussion about “The Future of Education in Ohio” with one glaring oversight: It exclusively features panelists who support privatizing public ed while demanding even less accountability for the public dollars going to private schools. #ohioschools

they're honoring our boy in Philly www.phillymag.com/news/2025/08...

Republican Tim Scott says the quiet part out loud: the crypto industry put Bernie Moreno in the Senate. He's their guy.

Join us in the Veterans Plaza of the Ohio Statehouse on Wednesday, August 20 at noon to urge Governor DeWine to immediately reverses course and recall the National Guard Troops back to Ohio. www.mobilize.us/commoncause/...

In 2024, Sherrod Brown lost Ohio by 3.6 points. On the same ballot, Kamala Harris lost Ohio by 11.2 points. Ohio is a red state. But if Brown similarly over-performs his party AND benefits from a backlash midterm, the seat is in play. When both those happened in 2018, Brown won.

This whole city is full of marks. If you're selling monorails, get to Columbus ASAP.

Outstanding article that does a 10/10 job of explaining the context of the attacks on Rep. Mohamed.

Literally every private school here including the parochial ones. Imagine 20 public districts having to independently transport kids to 14 different private schools. It's a mess. Kent and Stow are a few miles apart but they each have to send their own bus to Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy.

Socialism for the rich, rugged individualism for everyone else

A leader of efforts to add equal rights protections to the Ohio Constitution says a case asking the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn rights to same-sex marriage has sparked a new sense of urgency.

Gannett uses AI, yes.

some people will twist themselves into pretzels rather than believe the local corporate owned newspaper is written with AI

Ohio lawmakers have made it so public school students have to pay to take an uber to school so buses can take kids to private schools

i don't know what they teach in journalism school, but is it normal to have to explain to people with human bodies that the thumb is one of 5 fingers on a standard hand? Has the Columbus Dispatch replaced its reporters with AI?
