The Trump administration just paid Invenergy $765 million to cancel four wind projects. That brings the running total to roughly $2.5 billion in taxpayer money spent to stop energy from being built. Think about that. At a time when electricity demand is rising,

I am alarmed and outraged by reports that Trump and Kash Patel’s FBI has raided the Ohio Organizing Collective in Cleveland. This appears to be a blatant effort to suppress and deny the vote of people in Northeast Ohio. These raids must end immediately.

I have a message for Rep. James Comer: Stop with the racist comments about “my people” and keep my name out of your mouth. Republicans are letting the truth slip out about what they really want - to take health care away from millions.

DJ was driven halfway across the state to Willoughby to be arraigned: "Donald J. Byrnes Il did send an explicit image and two harassing text messages on May 6, 2026, from phone number 937-916-9149 to victim "JC" with purpose to harass JC." 🤔 Who do I know up there with the initials JC? 🙃

I've been told @rooster.info has been detained at the statehouse. A source sent the video showing DJ leaving with Ohio State Troopers earlier this afternoon. No word yet on whether he's been charged, or what his status is right now.

Ohio Republicans are about to introduce a new constitutional amendment — paving the way for the state to ban all voting outside of in-person on Election Day‼️‼️ They're pretending it's about voter ID laws (which Ohio already already has). But it's actually about that hidden sentence right at the end

One of the things that makes me the most fearful for the health of our democracy is this bizarre behavior by the press in twisting stories to make Trump's activities fit within normal frameworks that are completely inappropriate for the circumstances.

Trump sued the IRS over the unauthorized release of his tax returns, then he dismissed the frivolous lawsuit so that a judge wouldn’t have to sign off on the terms of the agreement. It's not really a settlement. He's just ordering the DOJ to give him money.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Vivek Ramaswamy in 2020 suggested a registry to segregate the population based on vaccine status. "Could we tolerate a national system in which certain people on the basis of a biomarker are segregated to say, you can't go back to normal life?...I personally think that it is better."

Hilltop Husband went crazy on them. For comparison, Haslams only needed $120K to Republican Statehouse leaders to extort $600 million from the Legislature.

New data underscores what candidates and pollsters are hearing in Ohio and around the country: Average people are having a harder and harder time getting by. Nearly half of Ohioans don't make enough to be economically secure, a new report shows. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/03/20/n...
