"New reporting from NBC News has revealed that Andrew Havas, a Jon Husted campaign chair, served jail time after committing s*xual misconduct with a minor. Jon Husted enlisted Havas as a chair despite his guilty plea to assaulting a minor being public record. "

What the fuck is wrong with the Ohio GoP??!?! Vote these people out.

"Southeastern Ohio has a serious problem underground with fracking waste injection. Now that problem is reaching the surface and threatening our drinking water, writes Marietta College petroleum geologist David L. Jeffery, Ph.D. "

"Southeastern Ohio has a serious problem underground. Now that problem is reaching the surface and threatening our drinking water. 

As a petroleum geologist, my job is to understand the rock layers deep underground and how fluids move through them.

In Washington County, Ohio, toxic, radioactive waste from failed fracking waste disposal wells is surfacing where it should never be — near homes, farms, natural gas wells, streams, and schools. State leaders need to treat this like the emergency it is.

Fracking wastewater is not ordinary water. It carries heavy metals, toxic chemicals, and radioactive material — not things that people, animals, plants, or waterways should be exposed to.

Safely injecting it underground requires rock that is deep, porous, and sealed off from drinking water and the surface. This means a reservoir with room for the waste, a trap to keep it enclosed, and a seal that ensures it cannot escape.

In Washington County, those basic conditions do not appear to exist, and the consequences are now measurable.

The evidence indicates there are fractures allowing the injected wastewater to flow up into shallower layers and to the surface.

What’s unfolding in Southeastern Ohio is a manmade geological disaster, and it is getting worse."

To everyone wondering and whining that Amy isnt spending enough on ads compared to Vivek, here is why. He has billionaire outsiders pushing their corporate objective.

The world’s richest man is officially invested in the 2026 Ohio governor’s race.

Elon Musk, a former trillionaire and former co-leader of the unofficial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) with now-Republican nominee for Ohio governor Vivek Ramaswamy, donated $5 million to a super PAC backing Ramaswamy in May, according to campaign finance reports released last week.

Musk joined billionaires Jeffrey Yass, Ratmir Timashev, Bill Ackman, and Ross Stevens as the primary backers of V-PAC: Victors, Not Victims, a super PAC dedicated to supporting Ramaswamy’s election bid.

The billionaires have given V-PAC a combined $37 million so far, more than 88% of its total funding. About 98% of V-PAC’s second-quarter contributions, or $12 million, came from Musk, Timashev, Ackman, and Stevens.

“I do not think it’s surprising that billionaires support other billionaires running for office,” said Catherine Turcer, executive director of watchdog group Common Cause Ohio.

A super PAC can raise and spend unlimited amounts of money, but it cannot directly coordinate with a candidate’s campaign committee. Individuals can only contribute up to $7,000 per election cycle to a candidate’s campaign committee, which has more restrictions on what it can do.

While super PACs often throw their full weight behind their preferred candidates, Case Western Reserve University law professor Atiba Ellis emphasized that they carry their own agendas.

“This outsized amount of money can drown out what could be a dialogue about the issues in the governor’s race,” he said.

In any case, he added that voters should expect even more political advertising in what is set to be one of the most expensive governor’s elections in state history.

Democratic nominee for governor Dr. Amy Acton is narrowly outraising Ramaswamy in 2026, at least according to their most recent campaign committee filings. But without a super PAC backing her —  or $25 million of her own money to put in the race as her opponent did — Ramaswamy holds a large cash advantage.

'The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) requested that the owners of four disposal wells in Washington County for wastewater from oil and gas drilling temporarily cease operations. 

The wells, two owned by Redbird Development LLC, one by Deeprock Disposal Solutions LLC, and one by Select Water Solutions LLC, are “suspected to be causing impacts to other nearby wells that produce oil and gas,” according to a statement by the ODNR. 

These wells, officially called class II disposal injection wells, accept wastewater from horizontal oil and gas drilling operations, known as fracking, that can contain heavy metals from deep inside the earth, and synthetic chemicals used in the drilling process. It can include radionuclides like radium, uranium and thorium.'

Reminder: fracking is full of cancer-causing toxic chemicals and is known to leach into nearby water sources and even the air in some cases.

Since 1992 the majority of the state has been firmly controlled by the GoP. The next time someone screams about the Democrats or Independents ruining the state, remind them of this interesting history about our state.
