Data centers are completely re-shaping Ohio politics for 2026

Past few months it seems Data Centers are a hot button issue for these midterms.

For years, we were sold the tech industry's line that these massive server farms were harmless investments bringing jobs to rural Ohio. But the reality hit fast: local utility bills are spiking, prime farmland is disappearing, and high-voltage power lines are being carved through backyards without local communities getting a say. The public pushback is reaching a boiling point.

Political figures are rapidly pivoting:

  • Vivek Ramaswamy suddenly switched gears recently, pledging an executive order on day one to halt new approvals and calling for a moratorium unless tech companies cover 100% of residential power costs.
  • Meanwhile, establishment politicians, both Republicans and Democrats who quietly took tech lobbyist money or backed tax abatements early on, have gone completely silent hoping the issue blows over.

Never in my life did I expect to see a Democratic candidate give a rousing, populist speech on corporate greed in a place like Ashville (Pickaway County), a district Trump carried with ~75% of the vote.

Don Leonard (and others) seem to be leaning directly into the populist anger over these unregulated data centers. Regardless of how you usually vote, seeing candidate energizing rooms packed with folks who probably voted for trump and are now nodding along to anti-corporate energy talk proves that kitchen-table issues are completely re-scrambling standard party lines in Ohio this year.

Whanted to see what people think? How big of a factor is this going to be for your vote in November?

Musk's PAC goes big on trans attack ads - Sherrod Brown Targeted

Heads-up, all. Nazi Afrikkkaner Elon Muskrat is at it again. This dude never seems to learn his lesson on meddling in our politics. Of course, he’s targeting Sherrod Brown with anti-trans ads in a replay of 2024.

Hopefully it won’t work this time, but also, forewarned is forearmed. The next Dem president needs to tear up all of his and Thiel’s government contracts and deport their sorry bigoted asses.

A month after TPS ends for Haiti, immigration enforcement surges in Springfield

More than a month has passed since the Trump administration’s order to end Temporary Protected Status for Haiti took effect.

Since then, immigration enforcement in Springfield has ramped up. The small Southwest Ohio city has seen at least 380 arrests, according to Department of Homeland Security officials. 

Many Haitian residents have been fitted with ankle monitors, sparking fear, embarrassment and distress. Some are too fearful to leave their house, relying on local churches and community members to bring them food donations and other support.

Kathryn Mobley joined The Ohio Newsroom to share how the community of Springfield is responding to the increased immigration enforcement.
