Evan Bayh nailed it — when one party controls everything, the results look less like governance and more like a clearance sale at the corruption outlet mall. From $92,000 luxury SUVs to six-figure jobs for in-laws and mystery world tours funded by who-knows-who, Indiana’s ruling class has turned “public service” into a punchline. Bayh and Donnelly didn’t need to exaggerate — the receipts speak for themselves. And as Bayh quipped, it’s time to grab a broom, because the Statehouse stench isn’t going away on its own.

RoQita sues IPS after it refused to hand student over to ICE in January So now Todd Rokita, Indiana’s “law-and-order” Attorney General, is hauling Indianapolis Public Schools into court for refusing to turn over a student to federal immigration agents — apparently the school asked for a warrant, which apparently ruined Rokita’s fun. Guess he found a new lawsuit to fill his offseason activities list. |

Money, Trump And The Media The longer we suffer the agony of the Trump administration and its assaults on governance, science, logic and basic decency, the more I become convinced that our current information environment is largely responsible. The enormous growth of online propaganda is partially to blame for the fact that 37% of Americans still tell pollsters they approve of Trump.

MAGA Congressional candidate says he supports Indiana redistricting, even though it could change his campaign Craig Haggard’s congressional campaign is less about policy and more about making sure no one forgets his name — literally, since it’s plastered all over his van. Between folksy breakfast chats and selfies at every café in 16 counties, Haggard says he’s running wherever Trump’s new map tells him to. Apparently, democracy can wait while Republicans redraw the lines to make sure his “small-town” charm doesn’t have to compete in an actual fair district. |

Banks is top lap dog for Trump's bid to end filibuster Summary: Jim Banks has happily signed on as Donald Trump’s cheerleader in the drive to scrap the filibuster — because nothing says “we respect Senate tradition” like ditching rules when your party holds the white-house. He says the filibuster is blocking GOP goals like voter-ID laws and budget cuts, so of course he wants to eliminate a minority-right that years ago his side defended with zeal. |

Trump-Aligned Lawmaker Elise Stefanik Announces Run for NY Governor “Kathy Hochul is the Worst Governor in America,” Stefanik said in the post. “Under her failed leadership, New York is the most unaffordable state in the nation with the highest taxes, highest energy, utilities, rent, and grocery bills. When New Yorkers were looking for leadership from our Governor, she bent the knee to the raging Defund the Police, Tax Hiking Communist causing catastrophe for New York families.”

It's causing a lot of anxiety. Many people are already struggling day-to day, month-to-month with the cost of living. It is has remained high," she said. "... And with this upcoming crisis, with health insurance premiums skyrocketing, I think this is like a five-alarm fire."
