Hunter speaks! Dems need to listen. 🙌🔥

Backdoor data center power, paid by us. Same political bribers who pay the top executives a fortune instead of maintaining the infrastructure. www.cleveland19.com/2026/06/23/m...

Buttigieg: After Trump leaves office – & he will – there will be a temptation to turn the clock back. But going back is the wrong answer – the flaws in our economic, social, & political systems are what brought us to this moment Going back to the status quo isn't possible – we can do much better

NEW: A judge quashed several DOJ subpoenas targeting Minnesota Democrats who opposed Trump’s immigration raids in the state earlier this year. He said there was “overwhelming” evidence that the DOJ unlawfully sought the subpoenas to retaliate against Trump's political foes, including Gov. Tim Walz.

A new bipartisan bill would require PUCO to hire independent experts to review utility demand forecasts. Why? Because the HB6 scandal taught us that Ohio regulators are captured by the same utilities they're supposed to oversee. https://bit.ly/4oEPIFk

Ohio data center restriction effort needs more signatures. Leaders going for 2027 ballot. @megankhenry.bsky.social @ohiocapitaljournal.com: bit.ly/4ew3W6R Data center committee should recommend renewables to power centers, protecting our air, water, public lands. @willisblackshearjr.bsky.social

A half dozen Republican governors are pushing alternative labels for June, which is widely recognized in the United States as Pride Month. They have labeled June with monikers that celebrate one type of family unit: a man and woman married with children. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/06/22/r...

Gas leak spews 200 feet in the air over Trumball County neighborhood, causing evacuation. Resident's yard and pool covered in oil and salts following loud boom. Corey McRae @21wfmj.bsky.social: bit.ly/4oIGYy8 Testing needed to determine potential human, pet harms. @maxfilby.dispatch.com

HB 472 Governor DeWine can stop this bad bill from becoming a law by vetoing it, but he has to hear from YOU! Call him at (614) 644-4357 or (614) 466-3555 or email him at the link: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-governor-dewine-to-veto-house-bill-472

Commentary: Gov. DeWine proclaimed June 1 to 7 as Ohio State Parks Week. That would be wonderful if Ohio wasn’t the only state to frack its own parks. DeWine signed onto that, now he has to decide whether to sign a bill that will make things even worse. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/06/22/d...

Jeff Bezos: "Biological limits are real, but digital potential is infinite. If we starve our data infrastructure of cooling resources just to sustain baseline human comfort, we are actively delaying the birth of super-intelligence that could solve all our resource problems in the first place."

I think we would be better off with clean water and affordable electricity than a Google that scans information and summarizes for us.

When Judges respect the Rule of Law & Voter's wishes: "A Missouri judge this week struck down a series of restrictions on abortion, finding they violated a constitutional amendment that voters approved in 2024" Next: Throw the book at Todd Blanche www.huffpost.com/entry/missou...

Not only are you not alone if you believe things don't have to be this way. In fact you are part of a powerful American majority, one with the power to decide our future.

Waaay under the radar: Ohio ranks 8 of Top 10 states offering most clean energy jobs. Kelcey Norris @mahoningmatters.bsky.social: bit.ly/4a9FTJK How do Ohio GOP and @jobsohio.bsky.social get it so wrong when voters want jobs, not expensive energy and fracked state parks? @amyactonoh.bsky.social

'When solar and wind power are combined with battery storage, they can undercut new gas power, challenging one of the fossil fuel industry’s arguments against renewables: that they cannot provide 24/7 electricity when the sun isn’t shining or the wind isn’t blowing.' www.euronews.com/2026/05/08/r...

The $1.7 million no-bid contract to clean the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool went to a company ultimately owned by Trump donor John J. Cafaro, who previously pleaded guilty in separate federal cases involving bribery and campaign finance violations. The company's name? Greenwater Services.

Ohio voters will not have a chance to vote to ban data centers in the November election. Conserve Ohio, the grassroots organization behind the proposed constitutional amendment, said they are now hoping to make the 2027 ballot. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/06/19/o...

Hey Bernie 👋🏻.......

Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. However, the fight for Black liberation was not resolved with the end of slavery and the close of the US Civil War. Today, we continue to fight and work towards justice and equality for all.

Columbus Dispatch Editorial Gov. DeWine must veto Ohio’s latest brazen attack on voting rights Ohio's latest example is legislation that would require a photo ID to vote by mail starting in 2027, a ridiculous and cumbersome requirement. www.dispatch.com/story/opinio...

97 of the pardoned January 6 rioters have been charged and convicted of other serious crimes like child molestation, felonious assault, reckless homicide, and other violent crimes. Trump pardoned them because they committed violence in his name. He’s responsible. www.thirteen.org/programs/pbs...

Families are facing rising grocery prices at the same time that many of the most vulnerable are losing access to food assistance. More than 4 million Americans lost SNAP benefits between February 2025 and this February, according to analyses ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/06/18/r...

Commentary: A proposed Ohio bill would require more chemical reporting by fracking well owners and establish wastewater testing. This could be an effective tool for making energy markets more efficient and safeguarding environmental and public health ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/06/18/s...

It feels strange that humanity dreams of finding life on distant planets while forests here vanish every day. A forest takes decades to grow, to cool the air, protect wildlife, and create peace—yet only moments to destroy. The most important world is the one we already inhabit.

Well said, Billy 👏🏼 #BookSky

Ohio taxpayers have now spent over $1 billion on private school vouchers this year. Meanwhile, public schools across the state remain unconstitutionally underfunded and asked to do more with less. www.cleveland.com/education/20...
