Something I've been thinking about all day: About a year ago, literal, flag-furling Nazis protested a drag brunch at a trendy Columbus brewery. Chanting "there will be blood" and "Aryan sun" No police response. No broad political outcry. The day just came and went.

This is really a "holy shit" story The NTSB testified to the U.S. Senate that Norfolk Southern had no scientific reason to burn off huge amounts of hazardous chemicals into the East Palestine air. I.e. this plume below did not need to exist

In non-Issue 1 news.... The woman who told the Ohio House Health committee that vaccines make you magnetic and interface with cell towers lost her medical license today
cleveland.com
This doctor said vaccines magnetize people. Ohio suspended her medical license.
Sherri Tenpenny is no longer a licensed physician after airing fringe comments and ducking investigators.

Dave Yost, who regularly touts his former-journalist credential, was just remarkably wrong about this in a very public way and it really didn't take all that long for an investigative reporter to find receipts

BREAKING: Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost says there is "not a whisper" that a 10-year-old child was raped and impregnated, there has been no request for crime lab results, and that Ohio's heartbeat law would have allowed such a young girl to get an abortion in the state.

FirstEnergy admitted last summer to bribing both the Ohio House Speaker and the state’s former top utility regulator. I went back through the record produced in those related cases to see where Gov. Mike DeWine was in all this. Here’s what I found:

New investigation from me: How did a 9-year-old child's name wind up on a public comment asking Ohio to open Salt Fork State Park for fracking? Dozens, including the child and an older blind woman, say their names were used without their knowing consent
cleveland.com
Their names appeared on letters urging fracking Ohio’s state parks. They don’t know how.
How did a 9-year-old's name wind up on a pro-fracking letter?
