Indiana’s Senate has voted AGAINST the GOP gerrymander that’d have locked in a 9-0 map.
This keeps the 7-2 map in place, saving two Democratic seats heading into 2026.
The vote failed big, 19/31.
The MAJORITY of the GOP senators opposed it!

I don’t want to become “a consumer” when I am injured or ill. I don’t want to shop for a bargain. At that point I am a PATIENT IN NEED OF CARE AND TREATMENT. I want to live in a country where all of us have access to medical care regardless of job status or income.

Good morning. Today, Senate Republicans have one last opportunity to vote to save the ACA tax credits.
If they refuse, they are CHOOSING to let premiums more than double, and they would force millions of Americans to go uninsured.

This is a white supremacist rally. Anyone who attends something like this or still supports the leader of this movement should be unwelcome in your home and shunned from civil society. Period. We’re way past the point where this crap should be tolerated from anyone. Cast them out.
Trump: "Ilhan Omar, whatever the hell her name is. With her little turban. I love her. She comes in, does nothing but bitch ... we ought to get her the hell out ... she's here illegally."

I write words. Words are written. Words that form writing. Words to the wise. Word to your mother. Word to your father too. Have you heard? The bird is the word. My word is bond. Bond, James Bond. I, too, was shaken, if not stirred. Shaken by my words. The words I write. Because I write words. Word.
Only 17 pages in and I am winded.
