Trying to connect with my fellow Hoosier twitx-exodusers. I am mostly here to stay informed, let off some snark steam, and add news comments here and there. But also hope to stay connected w/others concerned with ed in Indiana, and more broadly as the sustained attack on public education continues.

We spend billions murdering low level traffickers and free a literal "top smuggler" who got a multi million dollar trial and conviction. Because he wrote a fawning letter to Trump delivered through Roger Stone.

When a 22-year-old white man was accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk, did the Trump regime investigate all the 22-year-old white men in the country? Or is collective punishment only a thing we do to people of non-European descent?

The president has illegally declared war to stop fentanyl trafficking from a country that does not traffic that drug, claiming its leader is trafficking drugs himself, the day after pardoning a former leader of a country who is a convicted drug trafficker.

Here in hoosier land (Indiana) the 40-10 Supermajority State senate has been resisting Trump's demands to redistrict to a 9-0 Congressional map.

Due to threats its not clear who the holdout are. But, Trumps T-Day rant shook one senator to take a stand.

#Indiana Legislators are rushing a special session on redistricting: House hearings expected Tues, Dec. 2; Senate hearings on Tues the 9th. They may not allow time for everyone to testify, or may try to shut public comment down altogether. Share your testimony here: secure.ngpvan.com/g2gLE0zNgEWK...
This isn’t normal redistricting after the census — it’s an early, mid-decade power grab to redraw Indiana’s Congressional maps years ahead of schedule so politicians can pick their voters instead of voters choosing their leaders.

Keep your eyes watching these races. Bolts does a great job reporting, analyzing and tracking. A Top Notch follow.
More elections are already around the corner, mere days.

And Democrats have opportunities to build on their November gains by flipping more offices: in Tennessee, in Georgia, in Florida.

And that's just the tip of a busy election month.

Speaker Mike Johnson has reportedly told the White House that most Republicans aren't interested in extending ACA subsidies.

Reminder that 57% of ACA Marketplace enrollees live in congressional districts represented by a Republican.

They're selling out their own voters.
