Indiana is not a red state. Indiana is a highly gerrymandered & voter-suppressed state.
A redistricting expert criticized the new maps released this week by Indiana Republicans saying, "At the end of the day, this is one of the most extreme gerrymanders in history." wrtv.com/news/politics/elect…

The anti-data center rebellion is sweeping Michigan.
People are packing meetings and recalling local officials.
I'm the only MI07 candidate in either party who is standing with residents. That's why I'm gaining support across party lines.

Go Will Go!
AD DROP: "Michigan First"
Not tech CEOs
Not Wall Street
And definitely NOT hyperscale data centers
I'm running for Congress in #MI07 to stand with my neighbors. To protect our families, homes, and futures from corporations and culture wars. We Will Win — together.

BOMBSHELL reporting finds Princeton climate researchers took tens of millions of dollars from BP to publish research, shaped and edited by BP, promoting carbon capture & storage and fossil fuels.
Landmark "Wedges" climate paper promoting CCS now confirmed to be BP propaganda.
Princeton greenwashed fossil fuels and essentially lied about carbon capture in return for cash from BP. propublica.org/article/wedge…

🚨New data: In the 8 months after H.R. 1 enacted the deepest SNAP cuts in history, the number of people receiving SNAP fell by 4+ million (-10%) nationwide.
In just the 13 states with available data, 800,000+ fewer kids are receiving SNAP.

If you ever feel like economic opportunity in Indiana isn't what it was in previous generations, a new @urbaninstitute study backs up your hunch with facts. Median household income in Indiana has seen the fourth-slowest growth in the U.S. since 1970 and is now #37 overall. (1/5)

As an American citizen it is intensely offensive to me that we would spend this kind of money on Greenland when we don’t have universal healthcare, mandatory maternity leave, good public schools or any sort of social services.
The CFP is a total sham. Good luck crowning a national champion without the best team in the country.

Hottest team in the country, team that none of the top-ranked teams wants to play, was 9 or 10 for the last month.
Committee caved to public pressure. Weak.

keep coming back to this:
Notre Dame's two losses were by a combined four points. Their most recent loss was on September 14th.
Alabama lost by 21, yesterday

There wasn’t any logic waiting to move UM ahead of ND if Conf championship game outcomes are inconsequential. If Head to head was a factor, you had it all year. This isn’t a serious committee. It’s a made for TV event. Expand and get rid of the committee. BCS was a better formula. For ND, you now know 11-1 is the worst you can do to secure a spot in this current playoff format.

New Mexico is the first state in the country to implement universal free childcare, and the program will save families an estimated $12,800 a year.
This is HUGE. Redistricting is dead in Indiana! This is the work of thousands of Hoosiers who said NO to political games. Now let's focus on the real issues facing our families - the crazy cost of healthcare, education, housing. Proud to have played a role in this fight. Onward!

NEW: Amazon is building their largest data center in Indiana.
Neighbors say the company is using up the drinking water they rely on.
This is just one of the data center fights unfolding across the country. Communities everywhere are up in arms against this Big Tech invasion.

New analysis from CBO of the "Big Beautiful Bill" shows the bottom 20% get poorer, not much change for most of America, & the top 10% get meaningfully richer - and that's before tariffs
It was the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in history
I've talked with so many people who recently moved here or who just aren't registered who missed the deadline to register - which in Indiana was a month ago. This is what voter suppression looks like.
