I want to say something about what happened last night. A group held a private, ticketed event outside Indianapolis about mass deportation. $50 at the door and they wouldn’t tell people where it was until the last minute. Our own state representative Jim Lucas was billed as one of the speakers. Arley tenant governor, Michael Beckwith, and our Attorney General Todd Rokita each recorded video messages to be played there. I’ll tell you straight I am embarrassed. Not for myself. For Indiana. These are people who sworn oaths to serve every Hoosier and they spend a Saturday night lending their names to something built on treating human beings as a problem to be gotten rid of. We have been down a road like this before in this state. We are still living down what happened here 100 years ago, when he got organized, put on nice clothes, and called it self heritage. Somebody’s grandkids are going to read about right now in a history book, this is not what I want them to find. And it is not who we are. The people I know in Jackson, Washington, Scott, and Bartholomew counties look out for each other. We show up with a casserole when somebody’s hurting. We don’t ask where a family came from before we hand them a plate. I’m not going to pretend this is normal and I’m not going to be quiet about it.

Closing USAID is yet another ‘murderous’ act by Trump admin. He says we have supported the world & have somehow been used & abused. Truth: U.S. is the single largest consumer of natural resources,using up more than a QUARTER of Earth’s reserves! We are OBLIGED to share!! share.google/22rQH47udP4H...

The Trump administration said no kids died from USAID cuts. Consider these 3 cases
Some studies suggest tens of thousands have perished due to USAID disappearing. we bring two stories of children who got sick from usually preventable illnesses in areas where funding was reduced.

Under Trump, a majority of Americans can’t afford their groceries. When you add gas prices, medical bills, and prescription drug prices, Americans are struggling more to make ends meet—making it harder to provide for their families. Hardest hit are working folks earning under $50K. GOP did this!
