There is a staggering amount of BS here www.cleveland.com/metro/2026/0...

Well-connected state legislator telling The Rooster that Setzer’s idea of a guaranteed up-front bond from corporations has been inserted into the data center bill that should see floor action this week.

I read the first paragraph and was like at this point I don’t even care. It’s natural selection at work. Then I read the second part and reversed my lifelong position on the death penalty. Of course there are parents making their kids drink this shit. That’s my bad. I should have known better.

Joint Ohio Data Center Commission testimony from Carl Setzer of the MidwesTurn Podcast. In another life, Setzer built the largest craft brewery in China. "What China is good at," Setzer said, "is the theater." #ohio #ohiocheck #ohiogram #datacenters

Music Man is sweating. (Pics from a Republican.)

Ohio House Finance chairman Brian Stewart was alleging the same because a Republican Crystal Shaman finished third in the LA mayor race.

He looks like Hell.

You can feel the excitement around Mayor Suburbs announcing Greenleaf Park, the new green space outside the census tract that lost McCoy Park in the corrupt NWSL to Columbus deal.

Some good news.

100%. And then he left to go lobby for the weed industry after opposing legalization his entire political career.

Feels like it should be bigger news that Ohio State Trustee Pat Tiberi lobbied the president to pardon a convicted fraudster. www.cleveland.com/news/2026/06...

That Fuck Donald Trump chant is going to feed families.

God I hope I never reach these levels of horny.

Gives the game away about the scam at the heart of Anduril. And of course the Republican junta bent over backward for them.

Conman masterclass.

Conman will never be HIM.

I will hand it to John Kasich for precisely three things: 1) Medicaid expansion 2) Eating in public in weird ways 3) Not pretending that he was a fan of Ohio pro teams

Today's Rooster dispatch is about opposition to data centers offering a generational inroad into rural Ohio. It's an active investigation whether they'll take it or not. www.rooster.info/i/201006427/...

"What the Wounds Tell" just won this year’s European Press Prize. "Doctors in Gaza observed a disturbing pattern: children with a single gunshot wound to the head or chest, a sign that they had been deliberately targeted." www.volkskrant.nl/kijkverder/v...

Not another gift shop purchase 😂😂😂

The notorious conman Vivek Ramaswamy is now apparently a huge soccer fan, wearing a ridiculous Ohio chain at the Ecuador & Guatemala friendly in Columbus. Crew owner Jimmy Haslam co-hosted a multi-million dollar fundraiser for Ramaswamy last month.

It was my pleasure to volunteer for Carl's campaign. If you'd like to hear more from him about watching DJ get arrested for #Shrexting, check out the first episode of our new podcast. It's called MidwesTurn, and it's my first time so be nice 😭 @midwesturn.bsky.social substack.com/@amylpatters...

Vivek Ramaswamy:

Being at a trampoline park drives home why the American government wouldn’t be in a rush to draft 39-year-olds. This is an ACL trap.

There is a lot of unfocused data center hate abound. This is just facts. 🔥🔥🔥

Former Ohio Congressional candidate Carl Setzer delivered a masterclass testimony against data centers on June 1. A clip:

Multiple people shot near street festival in Toledo, Ohio, authorities say

Happy Birthday to former Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder! (67)

This is how the average Broad Street motorist envisions themselves.

Is the notorious conman wearing lifts these days!?

This is still America

New York viciously booing Trump might make It happen. He would put every MAGA stooge into a blender for the love of New York that he will never have.

That’s Brad Pitt, brother.

Now hold on a second…..

Comically credulous piece on what’s going on in Columbus - does little more than regurgitate the press releases of the companies it promotes, like Anduril. The obscene corruption of JobsOhio rates only a passing mention. And there’s zero skepticism if all these projects will ever even get built.

You know ball

As a bit of an authority figure on “Ohio Man” headlines this one might be a Hall of Famer.

When a lefty journalist’s (@rooster.info) arrest stinks so bad that even the head of the local FOP emphatically says it’s wrong:

Non-binary bathrooms in Knox County??? 😳😳😳😱😱🤯🤯

Exactly. I am a stone-cold political pervert and will vote Not Vivek but her high-priced consultants need to understand how Normal People think.

Honestly biking makes me a better driver. Was stuck behind a semi from Delaware to Mount Vernon. Old me would have been calling for a public execution. Bike me was thinking I was traveling at light speed at 58 mph 🤣

I once asked former Ohio governor Bob Taft for the state’s best bike trail. He reflexively said the Kokosing Gap Trail out of Mount Vernon. So we’re about to see what it’s hitting for in Knox County.

They seem to think she can be a kindly nana type figure and let Ramaswamy hang himself with his own words. And they might be right! But it’s not like she’s leading in the polls by 8 like Sherrod. Pulling punches on data centers is particular malpractice.

Disagree. All politics is high school and there is a big difference between campaigning and governing. It’s an insult to Democratic voters who have lived under Republican rule for 20 years.

@rooster.info arrest occurred minutes before public testimony on data centers began at the statehouse June 1-- 24 DAYS after police complaint email was sent. Political retribution has no home here, Sen. Cirino, John Fortney. Aaron Marshall Columbus Monthly: bit.ly/4uand3v @ccbecker271.bsky.social
