It's almost like putting a quack anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist in charge of the nation's health policy has consequences. "The United States has now had more measles deaths in the past two years than we have had in the previous three decades combined...": www.ms.now/news/pennsyl...

Community Defense & Mutual Aid If you see ICE activity, call 855-589-4639. Share your location, time, what you’re seeing, and how to share any photos or videos you've taken. The Indiana Organizing Project has set up a mutual aid fund to benefit Hoosier families impacted by ICE detention.

The smoking gun evidence in the hush money trial that convicted Trump on 34 felony counts included a $50K payout to Red Finch Technologies. Red Finch artificially boosted Trump's polls. Just making sure no one forgets Trump has been fixing the polls for a decade.

After Illinois & Indiana got hammed by storms, we wondered about the politics of disaster relief. One analysis found blue states are twice as likely to have disaster aide requests rejected by FEMA. Indiana's governor told us he thinks relationships matter. wgntv.com/news/wgn-inv...

It’s not radical to believe you should be able to afford groceries, see a doctor, breathe clean air, and drink clean water. There’s nothing more American than fighting for a government of, by, and for the people.

If they postpone the vote on Blanche, we might have time to learn what Judge Sullivan sees behind the Epstein redaction bars in the @katiephang.bsky.social lawsuit, or whether Blanche just defies the court order. We might also get the internal comms in the NYT subpoena case depending on the timing.

ICYMI: The Trump administration is reportedly receiving millions of immigration applications, pocketing the hefty fees, and never processing the applications. It’s collected over $1 billion in fees so far. Where is the outcry over this fraud and abuse?

I took a hard look at the financial donors to ICE’s biggest supporters in Congress. These are people who want to significantly expand ICE’s power and have sponsored or co-sponsored legislation to do so. Here are the top 25 consumer brands bankrolling the biggest ICE supporters in Congress:

Republicans only respond now to # 1 on this list! Some in #2 agree with Trump because they think they will be in #1 someday. Those in #3 carry the load and many work so hard and so many jobs that they forget their VOTING does impact # 1 and # 2! VOTE, YOU can change this country for the better

It is amazing how many people think partisan , political decisions have no impact on economic development! $$, power, land , the environment and people are most definitely at the forefront of partisan, political decisions in Indiana!
