Ohio has been making headlines recently due to a variety of events, including a deadly train derailment and chemical spill in East Palestine, a $60 million bribery scheme involving former FirstEnergy executives, and the withdrawal of proposed limits on gender-affirming care for adults. Additionally, a federal judge extended a block on enforcing a law requiring parental consent for children under 16 to use social media apps, and a city in central Ohio settled a case involving a former K9 officer and a truck driver who were involved in an attack.
