June 9 | New Albany Candidate Quick Start Training LPO needs energetic people to run for office! Libertarian elected officials get to make policy that reduces the scope of government and increases personal liberty. We encourage first-timers to run for local offices in odd-numbered years. You must file a declaration of candidacy with your County Board of Elections, with completed petitions containing the number of signatures required for the office you are seeking.

From FDR to Obama to Mamdani… politicians trash capitalism. Their words aren’t harmless says Economist Don Boudreaux. “Negative words... kept investors on the sidelines, kept unemployment higher.” Myths about Great Depression and Great Recession busted here:

@jackwindsor If actual residency is now enforceable criteria for state and local office there are about a dozen state senators and reps that will need to "move".

BREAKING: The Ohio Supreme Court today denied a writ of mandamus sought by Melanie Leneghan, a member of the Delaware County Board of Elections, ruling she does not qualify as a resident of Delaware County for voting or candidacy purposes. #Ohio #Ohionews theohiopressnetwork.com/news/ohio/brea…

@DispatchAlerts Did @JonHusted write this one?

Opinion: Householder’s 20-year sentence stands — but we all know it isn't just | Opinion dispatch.com/story/opinion/…

Just published: “Don’t Gamble With Ohio’s Future” - Or Don’t Gamble With Ohioans’ Freedom? The “Ohioans to Protect Public Services” coalition isn’t protecting you - it’s protecting its own racket. Here’s why their fear campaign collapses and how voluntary endowments can replace property-tax extortion with stable, consent-based funding for schools, safety, and services.

FTA/ a shiny new coalition calling itself “Ohioans to Protect Public Services” is warning that abolishing property taxes will cause chaos, higher sales/income taxes, and a “public safety crisis.” / Don't fall for it. Abolish Property Tax.

@RobertCSprague Schrödinger's elections: the most securest evar and also bursting with unprovable fraud.

Ballot drop boxes put the integrity of our elections in danger. As Ohio's next Secretary of State, we will eliminate COVID-era drop boxes. My priority is election integrity!

@Ltrs_Frm_Across @Cernovich Ramaswamy is no Libertarian. lol

@Cernovich Libertarians like Vivek are never going to be able to build the broad coalition of working class former Democrats, young men and MAHA that sustains Republicans past Trump. For all his apparent intellect and capability he just doesn't connect or seem to have the right priorities.

It is becoming increasingly likely that a Democrat is going to win in Ohio. Whether Vivek is trying to “toss” the race is starting to look like less of a conspiracy theory and more of a conspiracy.

@mojotil If Ginther and Hardin think this is anywhere close to over they are both delusional. Hilltop is pissed.

Ginther claimed, Hardin negotiated a worse deal than Ginther originally presented to the council. "Council President Hardin has put his political ambition over the good of the community," Ginther said. And Hardin continues to lie about the 2% ticket tax user fee isn’t costing the taxpayers anything in this deal. These two fools are still trying to convince the public that what they did was in the best interest of Columbus residents and the Franklinton neighborhood. Neither of them had the guts to do the right thing because they don’t have the political willpower to say no to the Haslam’s, Nationwide and Edwards. Really @LairdWrites ? You provided one meager long sentence from one community member on the difference between what Ginther and Hardin did? Damn near the entire city is opposed to this theft of a public park and taxpayer rip-off and you are still writing as if one or both of them made a good deal.

That sounds like work.

@LibertarianLars Honda has been working their ASIMO bipedal robots for 40 years and declined to use them because it didn't fit their culture.

Some people are out here fear-mongering about AI robots at $5 an hour “taking jobs.” I’m taking the opposite side — and leaning ALL the way in. This is the best economic news in human history. Robots will do these jobs better, safer, and for far less than humans ever could. The economics of $5/hour labor are completely unstoppable. This isn’t about billionaires getting richer. This is about abundance for all. A $5/hr robot in every home is the answer to housing, healthcare, education, childcare, and eldercare — all at once. Fear-mongering will only slow us down and cause real harm. We must embrace and accelerate this technology right now. Robots start showing up in homes this year. They’ll be ubiquitous in under 10. The future is abundance, freedom, and prosperity. Let’s seize it. Who’s ready?

@iam_elias1 6 emdashes. Nice try chatbot. lol

Two economists just published a mathematical proof that AI will destroy the economy. Not might. Not could. Will — if nothing changes. The paper is called "The AI Layoff Trap." Published March 2, 2026. Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. Boston University. Peer reviewed. Mathematically modeled. The conclusion is one sentence. "At the limit, firms automate their way to boundless productivity and zero demand." An economy that produces everything. And sells it to nobody. Here is how you get there. A company fires 500 workers and replaces them with AI. A competitor fires 700 to keep up. Another fires 1,000. Every company is behaving rationally. Every company is following the incentives correctly. And every company is building a trap for itself. Because the workers who were fired were also customers. When they lose their jobs faster than the economy can absorb them, they stop spending. Consumer demand falls. Companies respond by cutting costs — which means automating more workers — which means less spending — which means more falling demand — which means more automation. The loop has no natural exit. The researchers tested every proposed solution. Universal basic income. Capital income taxes. Worker equity participation. Upskilling programs. Corporate coordination agreements. Every single one failed in the model. The only intervention that worked: a Pigouvian automation tax — a per-task levy charged every time a company replaces a human with AI, forcing them to price in the demand they are destroying before they pull the trigger. No government has implemented this. No major economy is seriously discussing it. Meanwhile the numbers are already tracking the curve. 100,000 tech workers laid off in 2025. 92,000 more in the first months of 2026. Jack Dorsey fired half of Block's workforce and said publicly: "Within the next year, the majority of companies will reach the same conclusion." Nobody is doing anything wrong. Companies are following their incentives perfectly. That is exactly the problem. Rational behavior. At scale. Simultaneously. With no mechanism to stop it. Two economists built the math. The math leads to one place. Source: Falk & Tsoukalas · Wharton School + Boston University · arxiv.org/pdf/2603.20617

@MorganTrau @WEWS @WCPO @OhioCapJournal "expected" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

NEW: There are more than 70 school levies on Ohio's May primary ballot, with districts saying that their proposed tax increases are due to state lawmakers slashing their expected budgets. @WEWS @WCPO @OhioCapJournal news5cleveland.com/news/politics/…
