This is the kind of reaction re: @GovMikeDeWine's signing of permitless carry bill that will be interesting to watch for this week

Signs a controversial bill on an issue he's wavered on, but doesn't even get namedropped to receive any credit for it. @GovMikeDeWine The current top comments on the @BuckeyeFirearms Association's Facebook post about DeWine signing the bill:

Happy Presidents Day! I'll be sharing some news clippings today about the presidents from Ohio

Starting off with this item from 1871 dunking on Ulysses S. Grant The Cleveland Plain Dealer referred to "President" Rutherford B. Hayes in quotes during his administration because it believed he lost the controversial 1876 election

Good question. I did some research, and the answer is: Taxes!

Taxes paid for the magnificent, historic Henry Co. Courthouse that has stood since the 1880s. This new courthouse was necessary because the old one burned down in 1879. Construction began in 1880 with an estimated cost of around $100,000.

A local "building fund" was levied on Henry Co. residents to pay for it.

THREAD: During the lead-up to January 6th & the chaos of that day, I documented what was said by Ohio elected officials + party leaders

It's instructive to look back at what they were saying/doing at the time: I want to start by noting how many election falsehoods were spread by Ohio GOP politicians/party leaders in the lead up to Jan. 6.

Lawmakers insisted the 2020 election result was fraudulent.

Ohio's esteemed history with gerrymandering, a thread: Let's kick it off in the 1870s

The Northern Ohio Journal in Painesville: "so long as both political parties practice that noble art (of gerrymandering) whenever an opportunity presents itself, sensible people will listen..."

The Cincy Enquirer, though, condemns the practice

With 35 minutes left before the state constitutional deadline, Ohio Redistricting Commission votes 5-2 to take up amended Statehouse maps put forward by GOP

The two Democrats on panel voted no. (This was not a final vote on the map drafts) House Minority Leader Emilia Strong Sykes is currently speaking at length against the map. Here's one portion of it.

It's been a long day of negotiations that appear to end without bipartisan support.

Ohio's legislature has been on summer recess since June. The House Health Committee is back to work today to hear an anti-vaccine mandate bill.

It took all of one minute for the first supporter testimony to connect vaccines to Nuremberg. Yep, the Ohio Statehouse is back Committee returned to Statehouse a month early so it could hear a bill supporter ramble about international central banking & how vaccines will "usher us into a technocratic, biosecurity state"

Late-Night Breaking: @GovMikeDeWine signs Ohio's $74 billion, 2-year state budget

Issues 14 line-item vetoes, including veto of provision to vacate public health order violations by businesses

@OhioCapJournal will continue covering budget impact & gov vetoes later Thursday. Another veto involves the provision to exclusively allow GOP legislative leaders to intervene in potential redistricting cases

Voting rights groups take issue w/a number of 'anti-democratic' budget items but this veto is a definite win for them. DeWine says AG Yost requested it

Ohio House of Representatives considering a 'Name, Image & Likeness' bill for college athletes

Chaos ensues when Democrats object to a GOP representative introducing an amendment to ban trans athletes in high school sports This has been a pet issue for Rep. Jena Powell. @OhioCapJournal previously reported that only 5 transgender girls competed in high school women's sports out of 400,000 total HS athletes

Powell's own bill has gone nowhere. So she tries to add this to NIL

Greetings from a crowded, warm hearing room inside the @OhioStatehouse, where House Bill 248 (anti-vaccine mandate bill) is holding its next hearing shortly

HB248 has received some viral attention lately re: magnetism. Today we'll hear from medical experts opposing the bill As we await the testimony to start (which you can watch live, or later, at ohiochannel.com) here's some background on the legislation from OCJ's @jake_zuckerman. And some coverage of the untrue claims that went megaviral...

Wow. An anti-vaccine nurse in Ohio tried to prove the Vaccines Cause Magnetism theory in an state legislative committee. The demonstration did not go to plan Make that "a" state legislative committee. (Does the vaccine cause typos?)

This little experiment followed the testimony of noted COVID-19 conspiracy theorist Sherri Tenpenny, which by now you've probably seen:

It's hard to describe the extent to which Ohio Statehouse discussions of COVID-19, vaccines & public health are dominated by misinformation + conspiracy theories

We're now in Vaccines Cause Forks To Stick To Your Forehead territory...but it's been a year of this. Want examples? Ohio lawmakers hear a barrage of "experts" who testify to how terrible pandemic mitigation is. In May, a nurse complained that hospitals don't promote health

There was the time a pediatrician said there's "no valid science" proving mask effectiveness

Semi-prominent anti-vaccine doctor Sherri Tenpenny now testifying in favor of a bill to prohibit any Ohio business/school from mandating vaccines

Tenpenny breathlessly dismisses concern re: COVID-19 as "living in fear" while insisting alleged deaths from vaccines are major issue Tenpenny began by saying she's spent up to 10,000 hours researching vaccines since the pandemic began

There's only been around 11,000 total hours since the Ohio state of emergency was declared, so that'd be 22 hours per day.

Just to give you a sense of her accuracy chops

An Ohio political play, in four acts: Talk about nailing it. Didn't even take a week

I know the "one year ago today" pandemic tweets are cliché, but this day a year ago was the crazy Primary Election Eve in Ohio — a day of mega confusion ending with @GovMikeDeWine & @OHdeptofhealth postponing the election 8 hours before polls were set to open.

What a mess. There was so much happening all at once. Many polling sites were relocated at the last minute. 3/17 was set to be the first day that Ohio's schools were closed.

And of course, the general health fears that would've kept many people from voting

.@GovMikeDeWine asked today if he could do anything over again re: Ohio's COVID-19 response

DeWine answered that he wishes he knew how effective masks are earlier in the pandemic.

Reminder: Here was DeWine on April 27, 2020 when Ohio briefly issued a mask mandate @ businesses: DeWine issued that mask mandate for biz's/customers on 4/27, then immediately reversed it the next day

Ohio wouldn't re-issue the public mask mandate until July 22

Ohio had 753 reported deaths as of April 27. It had 3,235 deaths reported as of July 22.
