INCREDIBLE READ: Depositions from Ohio teacher’s lawsuit against district shed light on how ‘Hate Has No Home Here’ poster was targeted. Ohio school board president’s hunt for LGBTQ+ ‘ideology’ possibly began with a tip from a pastor convicted of sex crimes involving minors.

Storm and flood damage across our eastern counties has homeowners, farmers, and first responders regrouping. In Jerusalem Township we discussed what resources are still needed and how to prevent future damage. Working to help those impacted get back to normal.

Trump promised an unconditional surrender in Iran. Today, he delivered on that promise.

How you know Republicans believe their suck-tacular Ohio polls

Ohio’s largest public corruption scandal continues to play out in courts: columbusunderground.com/firstenergy-...

With gas prices, utilities, and groceries going up, financial stress is a pressing issue. A new analysis by the Brookings Institution shows 40.6% of Ohio households not making enough to make ends meet, including 73% of single-parent Ohio households. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/06/03/t...

Editor Commentary: Ohio taxpayers are sending $2.5 billion to private and religious schools. Even if you agree with this, don’t taxpayers deserve transparency and accountability? A group of bipartisan lawmakers thinks so, but Speaker Matt Huffman doesn’t. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/06/01/o...

Ohioans are working harder than ever, but still struggling to get by. Jon Husted’s advice? Just do more work.

The costs of groceries are soaring, and Jon Husted is only making it worse. I’m grateful to the Dayton AFL-CIO for stepping up to support their community during hard times when Washington won’t.

Jon Husted was ranked one of the most corrupt politicians in Washington, and honestly, we’re not surprised. Ohioans need a leader who will take on billionaires and special interests to bring down costs and support working families. That’s exactly what I’m gonna do.

“Trump may be racist but you’re fat” isn’t the sick burn whatever moron runs the GOP account thinks it is

Commentary: When Ohio GOP gov candidate Vivek Ramaswamy proposed new rules for public schools he inadvertently drew attention to the fact that non-public schools receive state funds but are not encumbered by laws and regulations that govern public schools ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/02/02/r...

This is the BEST explanation I have seen so far.

Sherrod Brown truly is a champion for ordinary people, with an impressive list of results throughout his political career. Check out his website to learn more and find opportunities to donate and volunteer. Let's get him back in the U.S. Senate. www.sherrodbrown.com

History: The world celebrated Ohio’s most important cultural site. Like so much else, that’s controversial. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/10/09/t...

The people of Ohio should know that Jon Husted has now voted 7 times to close the government and raise your health care costs. He’s making it clear he puts politics ahead of lowering prices.

We all need friendship

All the times Trump said the president should be blamed for any government shut downs and deserved to be fired for it.

This you, Trump?

CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Spot on… 🎯🎯🎯

Ohio GOP Government is trying to get us down to 50th in Education asap www.cleveland.com/open/2025/09...

A school that has had a sexual abuse wrestling scandal involving Jim Jordan, gave JD Vance a cushy scholar in residence gig, and has named two of its most prominent buildings after close Jeffrey Epstein associate Leslie Wexner should be focusing on things other than banning land acknowledgments.

Governor DeWine: Stop letting Trump abuse the Ohio National Guard. Trump’s generals warned he wants to shoot peaceful protesters. I protested in DC in 2020 when Trump mobilized the National Guard against us. Ohioans remember the danger when servicemembers were used as political pawns at Kent State.

Late last night I mapped crime rates for cities in OH, SC and WV to show how often they exceeded the rate in DC — where those states’ governors are sending National Guard troops to “combat crime.” www.pbump.net/o/more-peopl...

holy shit this is a helluva ad from the Democrat running against Joni Ernst in Iowa. worth every second

since “Sewer Star” popped back up in our mentions today, let’s revisit our classic “Like a Sturgeon”

Commentary: Ohio’s biennial budget is a slow, grinding assault on public education. This is a violence that unfolds over years and generations. It bleeds opportunity and shatters potential. It’s not breaking news, but it breaks futures all the same. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/07/09/n...

The giant tax and spending bill President Trump signed into law includes the biggest health care spending cuts in U.S. history. In response, some states are scrambling to shield their hospitals from the looming loss of hundreds of millions in federal funding. ohiocapitaljournal.com/briefs/state...

Ohio's biennial budget continues the Republican Party's tradition of starving social services and transferring wealth to the ultra-rich. But Gov. DeWine showed a streak of compassion that his contemporaries lack by going beast mode with the veto pen. www.rooster.info/p/mike-dewin...

This last minute addition to the budget is shameful and shows just how far this legislature will go to cover up their hatred and greed. It must be vetoed from the bill before DeWine signs it!

The only people who want public records hidden are people with something to hide. Tell Governor DeWine to veto these corrupt #Ohio budget provisions: rachelcoylehtw.substack.com/p/why-are-oh...

#Ohio friends -- This is a moment to be the squeaky wheel. Be a problem. Reach out to Governor Mike DeWine (and his top staff!) in every possible way until the moment he signs this cruel bill: open.substack.com/pub/rachelco...

If you live in Ohio, please contact Governor Dewine's office and urge him to veto the provision that restricts access to library materials. Please also share this to ensure that the word gets out. #Libraries members.olc.org/news/Details...

Ohio’s proposed final budget includes tax cut to wealthy, Browns stadium funding ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/06/25/o...

Ohio legislative leaders say a compromise has been reached on the state's operating budget — sharing early details that the wealthy will get a tax cut and the Cleveland Browns get hundreds of millions for their new stadium. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/06/25/o...

Still think it doesn’t matter?

Here's a 2013 throwback:

Northeast Ohio school leaders warn HB 335 could gut millions from budgets School districts are now urging families to contact lawmakers before June 30, when the state’s budget bill must be finalized. by Danielle Wiggins www.wkyc.com/article/news...

Voter rights groups say Ohio GOP voting overhaul threatens the state’s citizen initiative process “Bottom line, this is an attack on direct democracy,” -Jen Miller, Ohio’s League of Women Voters by Nick Evans ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/06/10/v...

Ohio Senate: looking in your direction “An economy is money in motion; a stadium is a big cement bowl where most days, nothing happens. … One can only imagine a world in which the mayors of American cities were equally motivated by the economic benefits of public transit.”
