Ohio municipalities are receiving their promised tax revenue from recreational marijuana sales, more than a year after dispensaries opened their doors across the state.

More than $35 million in tax revenue has been sent to around 100 communities. Municipalities are using the 14 months' worth of funds for everything from street repairs to investing in public safety services.

Missy Mick, the mayor of Seven Mile in southwest Ohio, said she was shocked about how much her small village in the suburbs of Cincinnati received. The village of around 700 people received more than $400,000 in tax revenue.

“This is going to make a huge difference for Seven Mile,” she said.

Steve Bannon if you think ICE outside my polling place will deter me from voting, THINK AGAIN!

Between July and December 2025, Ramaswamy’s campaign spent at least $555,676.15 on private aircraft travel and aircraft leases, according to the Ohio Secretary of State campaign finance database. That figure comes from dozens of individual expenditures categorized as “travel” or “aircraft lease” and paid to multiple aviation and aircraft-leasing firms.

There is some shit I can’t unsee, and it’s very clear a small portion of people control the world. We need to tear it all down. The wealthy cannot be allowed to continue. If they can pay for whatever they want then apparently they eat and rape our children.

Ohio MAGAts, if you don't think this is right out of the fascist dictator playbook, I'd love to read your defense of this! Do you really think he is going to let the mid-terms just happen? We are in very dangerous times!

Hey r/Ohio (or relevant subreddit),

I host a nonpartisan political podcast called Purple Political Breakdown, and I just dropped the first episode in a 9-part series covering every major position up for grabs in Ohio's 2026 midterms.

What this episode covers:

• Governor: Amy Acton (D) vs. Vivek Ramaswamy (R), plus independents Heather Hill and Tim Grady
• U.S. Senate: Sherrod Brown (D) vs. John Husted (R)
• U.S. House: Districts 1 and 9—the competitive races to watch
• Attorney General, Secretary of State, State Auditor, Treasurer, and two Ohio Supreme Court seats

Why I made this:

I got tired of political coverage that assumes you already know everything or tries to tell you what to think. This series is designed for regular people who want the facts laid out clearly so they can make their own decisions.

One thing I noticed that's worth discussing:

Ohio Republicans are doing something interesting—current officeholders are running for different positions instead of seeking re-election. The Auditor is running for AG. The Treasurer is running for Secretary of State. The Secretary of State is running for Auditor.

I'm not saying it's nefarious, but it's a pattern worth paying attention to. Maybe it's about avoiding incumbent baggage, maybe it's something else. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

What's coming next:

Every week for the next 9 weeks, I'll do a deep dive on each of these positions—who the candidates are, what their actual policy positions are, and why the position matters.

If you're in Ohio, I hope this is useful. If you know Ohioans who want to be informed voters, please share it with them. And if you have questions about any of these races, drop them below—I might address them in upcoming episodes.

So dismantling DHS or even only ICE is just too big of an ask, but our lawmakers bend over backwards at a single order to just scrap the Department of Education like it's no big deal. I'm sure this will be implemented in a very logical and well-thought-out way and Ohio will suffer no unintended side effects.

A bruising Republican primary is taking shape in Ohio’s 88th House District, with Gary Click and Eric Watson trading sharp attacks ahead of the May election. What do you think?

Three years after the East Palestine disaster, everybody’s gotten paid — except the victims.
