Since we have another Bayh on the statewide ticket, I’ve been watching some historical footage of his grandpa Birch. I was too young to know much about him other than his Title Nine legislation. Here he discusses the electoral college. youtu.be/VrAZVx7tekU?...

I appreciate you posting this. And bonus, no fucking commercials. I couldn’t have gotten through something this complicated with ads randomly thrown in. This basically a repeat of Enron.

I drive up and down the state frequently, from the river to the big lake up north. There are NO signs like there were in the past. The only signs I see are for Beau Bayh. Some local signs maybe republican, but very few. I didn’t even see any in Southern IL last weekend.

I’m sitting in Bargersville, flat as a pancake, and can’t get a signal for shit. I’m experiencing problems in Indy as well. I think our system is stretched all around. They forgot/didn’t care abt all the people who actually used the 2g network in rural areas. It’s been shit since they ended that.

That’s an area I might want to bring a weapon. My family has a farm at the Bartholomew/Jennings line. When I was young I never ventured far into Jennings Co. That area had a well-earned reputation. She’s perfected her donut game, ole gurl even made nbc national news feed tonight 🤣🤣

Wow…what a ride. When Greg Walker took out the sitting Indiana President Pro Tempore Bob Garton, we called him the radical right. Then they went even crazier and now he’s a sane one, endorsing the Democrat in the race.

I doubt her motivations civic, she was just liquored up. But they’re putting a datacenter on some of the old Jefferson Proving Ground property, I heard rumor of people pissed. Moving ground over top of spent uranium, unexploded ordinance and god knows what else sounds kinda stupid to me 🤷‍♀️

12/ We spent months compiling every case we could find of immigration agents detaining Americans. We did it because the government hasn't. And now, we're sharing every one of those cases with you. Explore our database: propub.li/4egbSK2
Screenshot of database titled "Explore All Incidents Where Citizens Were Detained." Text below explains that this is every incident ProPublica could find in which one or more citizens were reportedly detained between January 2025 and September 2026. There are 506 citizens' cases in the database, and users can sort by what the incidents involve, where the incident is located, and the recency of the case.

But so much depends on honest public servants and we don’t have that. That definitely flavored my answers. I bet, you and I both would have answered these ?s vastly different 10 yrs ago. I def answered military ?s harshly. I am a pacifist at heart and that’s become more pronounced.

That ? on national police was a hell to the no. But I spent a career in government and saw how things could work better for the people. Ex is block grants, state gets the $$ and they allocate w/in parameters set by feds. That’s an example of fed releasing some power and there’s more they can do.

It may have been the local autonomy questions like more decentralized government services cause I always felt locals are best at knowing what they need. It was an interesting quiz but some questions I wasn’t even sure what they were asking. I think I fit better Democrat Socialist.

“……could be held without bail if the judge or prosecutor “want to send a message,” Cunningham said.” Don’t let them dilute our rights. Raise the bail limits for ones deemed too dangerous. A woman in Fla was denied bail, held in jail for three weeks after being falsely id’d by Flock cameras.

He was a genuinely nice man. I worked for the state senate and he stopped in for something and media staff took this pic. I took groups of constituents to DC and he was always a delight to visit. He was my favorite.

Big, fat income tax increase for people who don’t even own — can’t even HOPE to own — a home. To subsidize everyone else. Bullshit. I pay property taxes like everyone else and this idea sucks.
