3 Ohio’s crisis is a microcosm of a nationwide collapse: over 3,200 U.S. print papers have shut since 2005, & nearly 55 million Americans live with minimal local news access—threatening democracy across the country. It’s time to treat local journalism as a public good—before it vanishes entirely.

2/3 This isn’t just about fewer headlines—it’s about less accountability. Research shows when local news deserts emerge, corruption rises, bond ratings worsen, and public spending grows. Civic engagement suffers too: fewer voters, fewer candidates, more polarization.

🧵 Imagine living in a county without reporters—no one covering school board meetings, local clinics, even zoning decisions. That’s reality for over 1,000 U.S. counties. Ohio now has just 7.9 local journalists per 100k residents down from ~40 in 2002. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/07/14/w...

We knew local journalism was shrinking in Ohio and elsewhere. It's worse than we thought • Ohio Capital Journal

It's hardly news that local news coverage in Ohio's cities and towns isn't what it once was. A new analysis shows that it's been devastated in most small towns, suburbs and cities in the United States...

From this must-read on the political philosophy driving current Trumpism: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/04/o...

That truth is revealed in emergency situations: Politics often requires making existential decisions about the good of the nation — and especially about who should be considered its friend and who its enemy.
Liberalism's supposed incapacity to make such primordial distinctions led Schmitt to the view that there exists "absolutely no liberal politics, only a liberal critique of politics."
For Schmitt, someone must serve in the role of sovereign decider. Legislatures aren't fit for it, because they easily devolve into squabbling factions. Neither are administrative bureaucracies, because they often defer to established rules and debate without resolution. Both contributed to making the later years of Weimar what Schmitt described, in a lecture from 1929, as an "age of neutralizations and depoliticizations."

Trump is not sure if he is obligated to uphold the Constitution. The presidential oath clearly states this obligation: The president must “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution.” When are the MAGA Republicans going to grow a spine and join the Democrats to impeach and oust this traitor?

You may not know about this bill yet, but you should. The JUDGES Act would hand Trump 22 new judicial appointments, and some Democrats in Congress are feeling pressure to vote yes on it to lighten the caseload of judges in their states. A few Democrats have even co-sponsored it.

American tourism is missing the $$ from visiting Canadians. It’s not just the tariffs. I have traveled to many countries including places like Egypt & Mozambique. Never have I been warned that I should bring a burner phone with me & never have any of these countries searched my phone. No thanks US.

Sounds like an unconstitutional poll tax to me. Peoplewho have trouble putting food on the table and paying monthly expenses, certainly can’t afford to go out and get a passport. Do they really think that those without passports sit around planning international travel just in case?
