It was a rare sight: two of Indiana’s favorite political legends, Evan Bayh and Joe Donnelly, joined Gary Snyder to remind Democrats what winning used to look like before the party decided to fight Twitter wars instead of elections. Both emphasized the revolutionary concept of talking about things voters actually care about—like groceries, gas, and healthcare—rather than indulging in endless purity tests that lose the working class faster than you can say “Republican supermajority.” The former senators didn’t mince words: Indiana Democrats can’t out-ideologue MAGA, so they might as well out-work them. That means finding candidates who reflect Hoosier values, not national talking points, and remembering that compromise isn’t betrayal—it’s how politics used to function before it became performance art. Their advice was simple but stinging: stop arguing over hashtags and start earning trust at the kitchen table, or prepare for another decade of “moral victories” and legislative irrelevance. |

Certainty in the shutdown? How about a hot mess? If you're a Hoosier soybean farmer, plant general manager or an investment advisor, the thing you covet most in the marketplace is certainty. And with the federal government now in its longest shutdown in history and with the White House tariff policy facing a decisive Supreme Court ruling, what you're getting is pure ... chaos.
