Rep. Andrew Ireland and Wife Mocks Disabled Constituent

It takes a special kind of arrogance for an elected official to mock a disabled constituent for daring to speak out — and an even lower kind for his spouse to pile on. But that’s exactly what State Rep. Andrew Ireland and his wife, Maddie, decided to do on X this weekend.

Beau Bayh has your attention. He's already winning.

Bayh, a Democrat, made a splash Oct. 6 when he announced his 2026 candidacy for secretary of state. His rapid fundraising pace is becoming a minor obsession online. You can find him on the SnydeReport, a liberal podcast, as well as the Kendall and Casey show, a conservative program on WIBC-FM (93.1). (This story is behind a paywall)

Trashing The First Amendment

Ten months into the Trump administration, the outlines of America’s cold civil war have become too stark to miss. MAGA is determined to remake the United States into a nation where White Christian Nationalists are legally privileged and in control. And they’re making progress.

Trump's USDA asks Indiana FSSA to pump the brakes on readying November SNAP benefits

That includes the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA)—putting roughly 580,000 Hoosiers at risk. Food security advocates had warned for the last several weeks that Hoosiers relying on SNAP and WIC could see their benefits disrupted if the shutdown doesn’t end by November.

Light, Truth, and a Little Censorship: IU’s War on Its Own Newspaper

So much for “Lux et Veritas.” Indiana University’s motto promises enlightenment, but its treatment of the Indiana Daily Student looks more like “Darkness and Damage Control.” The university muzzled its student journalists, canned their adviser for daring to defend editorial independence, and then torched the paper’s print edition—all just in time for Homecoming.

The Indiana Black Legislative Caucus on Monday decried the likely harms of early redistricting on the state’s Black and other non-white voters.

Jim Banks on a Russia to Alaska tunnel...

Jim Banks couldn’t find an independent thought if it crawled up and saluted him. The man hears “Russia to Alaska tunnel” and his first instinct is to look around for permission from Trump and Putin like a lost intern in a dictator cosplay convention. Imagine being so intellectually vacant that your default answer to foreign policy questions is “I’ll defer to the guy who thinks windmills cause cancer.”

Indiana seeks federal waiver to streamline education funding, ‘align’ accountability

Indiana is asking the federal government for permission to overhaul how it spends and tracks billions in education aid — a request that Hoosier officials said would align the state’s accountability system with federal law and allow more freedom in how schools use their funds.

RoQita’s ICE Cold Lawsuit Melts in Court

Todd Rokita’s latest Fox News audition flopped as an Indiana judge tossed his baseless lawsuit accusing St. Joseph County’s Democratic sheriff of not cozying up to ICE. Turns out, yelling “law and order” doesn’t count as evidence. Once again, Indiana’s top lawman proved he’s more interested in partisan theater than actual justice—another grandstanding stunt deported straight to the trash bin.

Third of ICE Recruits Failing Out...

President Donald Trump’s plan to double the size of the ICE workforce has met a foe more powerful than any activist group. It is decimating new recruits at the agency’s training academy in Georgia. It is the ICE personal-fitness test.

Make Argentina Great Again”: Trump’s Beef-Brained Inflation Plan

Trump’s latest economic brainwave? Importing Argentine beef to “bring down prices” — because nothing says “America First” like outsourcing your steak. Apparently, the guy who slapped tariffs on allies now wants us grilling foreign ribeyes while Midwest ranchers watch their herds go unsold. Maybe next he’ll promise cheaper gas by buying it from Venezuela.

Jon Stewart Mocks Republicans for Calling Trump ‘God’s Chosen Instrument’

The Daily Show host Jon Stewart played a compilation of Republicans praising President Donald Trump as a Christ-like “miracle worker” and “God’s chosen instrument” on Monday, arguing that to them, Trump wasn’t merely a “king” but a “deity sent by God.”

Set to Free Diddy... Developing...

According to our source, the President is "vacillating" on a commutation. We're told some of the W.H. staff are urging Trump not to commute the sentence. But, our source states the obvious -- "Trump will do what he wants," and we're told Trump could set Diddy free as early as this week.

Mike Johnson is revealing true fears with 'more stupid by the day' claims: MSNBC host

“I will administer the oath to her,” he began before adding, “I hope on the first day we come back for the legislative session. I'm willing and anxious to do that. In the meantime, instead of doing TikTok videos, she should be serving her constituents. She could be taking their calls. She can be directing them, trying to help them through the crisis that the democrats have created by shutting down the government.”
