Another $2.5M in dark $ that FirstEnergy gave to support @MikeDeWine 's 2018 campaign. Gov then nominated a regulator who'd just gotten an alleged $4.3M bribe from FE. Regulator pushed a $1.3B bailout that FE paid $60M in dark $ for. Gov signed bailout within hours of passage.

Big news: Mark Sigrist wins Democratic Ohio House primary by 20 votes. He’s my former neighbor & grew up in Grove City-an R stronghold gerrymandered into a solid D Southside district. Slay the gerrymander & vote for Mark Sigrist♥️ wosu.org/politics-gover…

The latest news about FirstEnergy giving $1 million to a dark money group that backed Lt. Gov. Jon Husted underscores how slowly information has come out about Ohio's #HB6 scandal & why more transparency is needed, says @CatherineTurcer. @energynews_US energynews.us/2024/04/10/fir…
“The reason that transparency matters so much is that money that is spent in the shadows influences elections, and it influences really important policy decisions that impact us every day” ~ Catherine Turcer #FollowtheMoney

Almost all of the journalists killed for their work in 2023—77 out of 78—were local journalists. Their deaths rarely attract international attention & pressure on their families and colleagues to stay silent can stymie the quest for justice. Read more: cpj.org/reports/2024/0…

In the 5 years after the Trump Tax cuts, 23 major corporations paid zero federal tax despite being profitable in every single year. 109 corporations paid zero federal tax in at least one of the five years. The cuts were designed to rig the system for the rich. And they worked.

Republicans have controlled the Missouri legislature since 2002. What’s their legacy? Struggling towns, crumbling roads, 4-day school weeks, hospital closures, and am abortion ban. They’re arrogant enough to think you won’t notice they caused the failures they complain about.
The great Yale professor & historian @TimothyDSnyder testified before Oversight today about foreign authoritarian propaganda in a democratic society—& then some GOP colleagues demonstrated how it works. Thanks for your passionate defense of democracy in America & Ukraine, Tim!
Republicans want to impeach Mayorkas for not implementing the law they refused to pass at the request of Donald Trump.
Vouchers were created to keep White kids from going to school with Black kids after the Brown V Board decision. They were used to fund “segregation academies.” That racist legacy has never wavered. School vouchers are still a tool of segregationists.
Common knowledge? The Capitol Journal obtained Randazzo's disclosures from the Ohio Ethics Commission for the period he served on the PUCO Nominating Council — 2007 to 2017. "FirstEnergy" doesn't appear on any of them. By @martyschladen
Ohio Gov. DeWine's office has said for months connections between Sam Randazzo and FirstEnergy were well-known when he picked him as top utility regulator. However, it appears Randazzo and FirstEnergy went to great lengths to keep their relationship secret ohiocapitaljournal.com/2024/04/17/dew…
It's perhaps worth noting that, in just the last 12 years, the Ohio GOP has twice passed a law to allow their presumptive Republican presidential nominees to appear on our ballots in both 2012 and 2020 without issue.
Ohio appears to be at an impasse with the Biden campaign over getting him on the ballot. But Alabama lawmakers are getting it sorted. From a Republican who backs the bill: "I’d like to think if the shoe was on the other foot, this would be taken care of." al.com/news/2024/04/b…

A mighty fine story that connects the dots: DeWine, Husted, Randazzo, DeWine chief of staff Laurel Dawson, DeWine says Randazzo's ties to First Energy were well known, but the evidence of this is lacking • Ohio Capital Journal ohiocapitaljournal.com/2024/04/17/dew…
Ohio Gov. @MikeDeWine's FirstEnergy-connected staff knew Sam Randazzo had gotten millions from FE when DeWine nominated to regulate the utility. DeWine's press secretary says it was common knowledge at the time. The evidence says otherwise. My latest: ohiocapitaljournal.com/2024/04/17/dew…
Every GOP policy can be put into two categories: 1) The policy will enrich the already wealthy 2) The policy is meant to create division, hate, and anger to confuse a base and get them to vote for a policy that will enrich the already wealthy.
When Ted Strickland was gov, he took several steps to give consumers a voice in utility rate-making. Gov. Strickland’s pro-consumer bill passed the Senate unanimously. Then-Speaker Husted secretly had Randazzo write the pro-utility House version😡
The FBI is cautious, and when they accuse, they usually have the goods, so saying nothing is probably the smartest thing he can do at this point. It appears Mr. Randazzo was appointed specifically because of his cozy relationship with FE, not in spite of it. The plot thickens.
Kasich beat Ted, & cut the budget for the Consumers’ Counsel - the lawyer for residential utility customers. Kasich said it was to reduce costs. Total BS. The agency is funded by utility fees - so Kasich helped utilities, hurt customers.
Like Jimmy Carter, Gov. Strickland deserves more credit than he gets for the job he did. Thanks, Gov. Strickland.
It's not just SCOTUS. Justices are hearing lawsuits involving their fathers, ex-girlfriends, and former clients. My latest @GOVERNING: governing.com/politics/the-s… #ncpol
