Trump won Ohio 55-44. But Ohio Republican politicians left in charge of drawing district maps want to do more gerrymandering. Bernie Moreno says politicians are going to draw a 12-3 Congressional map — 80% GOP. He absurdly claims that reflects the state. punchbowl.news/article/campai…
Excellent story by @martyschladen, who always brings receipts
News Analysis: Just 3 days after after receiving a controversial $600 million gift from Ohio Republican lawmakers for a new stadium, Cleveland Browns owners Jimmy and Dee Haslam, who are worth more than $14 billion, bought a $25 million mansion in Florida ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/07/21/new…
In Ohio, if you own a badly run NFL team, you can spend heavily to maintain gerrymandered GOP supermajorities, get a $600M gift to move your team out of a major city, then buy a $25M oceanfront mansion 1,000 miles away 72 hours later. My latest: ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/07/21/new…

Today I’m thinking about my colleagues at Ohio’s public radio stations, who cover a range of stories from big and breaking news to lighter fare, and dive into to issues not covered elsewhere. Here’s a🧵with some examples, starting w @Ideastream ideastream.org/community/2025…
Commentary: Trump wants to take away citizenship from naturalized Americans, turning them back into noncitizens who can be deported. This would overturn the constitutional principle that citizenship can't be arbitrarily taken away by whoever's in power. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/07/18/tru…
The office of Ohio U.S. Sen. Jon Husted deleted a social media post claiming the Trump spending law is a "pro-family" bill for "working class families." The law will take health insurance and food support away from thousands of low-income, working Ohioans ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/07/15/ohi…

Utility scale solar done correctly is a cool thing. Farmers blow it WAY out of proportion how much farmland will end up in solar. 1% of cropland would provide all our electricity.

A little known federal drug program (340B) meant to subsidize coverage for the poor has grown to be the second largest behind Medicare Part D. There are no controls over how hospitals spend the money, leading to possible abuses. My latest — ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/06/18/ohi…

My former colleague @martyschladen went where I feared to tread...the complicated 340b program The intentions of the drug-pricing law are mostly good...but how it's being carried out brings questions of places like Cleveland Clinic over booming subsidies ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/05/30/ohi…

You can have low prices for medicines or you can have big discounts off the prices of medicines, but you can’t have both. @martyschladen ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/05/20/tru…
