Indiana is not a red state. Indiana is a highly gerrymandered & voter-suppressed state.

[WRTV Indianapolis @wrtv]

A redistricting expert criticized the new maps released this week by Indiana Republicans saying, "At the end of the day, this is one of the most extreme gerrymanders in history." https://t.co/akknehRX0x

[Prosperity Indiana @ProsperityInd]

Indiana’s rate of affordable and available rental homes for the most vulnerable renter households is now tied for lowest in the Midwest and is below the national average, according to #TheGap26, a new report published by @ProsperityInd and @NLIHC.

If you ever feel like economic opportunity in Indiana isn't what it was in previous generations, a new @urbaninstitute study backs up your hunch with facts. Median household income in Indiana has seen the fourth-slowest growth in the U.S. since 1970 and is now #37 overall. (1/5)

As an American citizen it is intensely offensive to me that we would spend this kind of money on Greenland when we don’t have universal healthcare, mandatory maternity leave, good public schools or any sort of social services.

[Garrett Blad @gblad]

The CFP is a total sham. Good luck crowning a national champion without the best team in the country.

[Stephen Hayes @stephenfhayes]

Hottest team in the country, team that none of the top-ranked teams wants to play, was 9 or 10 for the last month.

Committee caved to public pressure. Weak.

[Rodger Sherman @rodger]

keep coming back to this:

Notre Dame's two losses were by a combined four points. Their most recent loss was on September 14th.

Alabama lost by 21, yesterday

[Brady Quinn @Brady_Quinn]

There wasn’t any logic waiting to move UM ahead of ND if Conf championship game outcomes are inconsequential. If Head to head was a factor, you had it all year. This isn’t a serious committee. It’s a made for TV event. Expand and get rid of the committee. BCS was a better formula. For ND, you now know 11-1 is the worst you can do to secure a spot in this current playoff format.

[Garrett Blad @gblad]

We, Hoosiers, did this. Let's goooooooo

[The Political HQ @ThePoliticalHQ]

🚨BREAKING🚨

The Indiana State Senate has voted against a special session.

The redistricting push in Indiana meant to net Republicans two seats is officially dead.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

New Mexico is the first state in the country to implement universal free childcare, and the program will save families an estimated $12,800 a year.

[Garrett Blad @gblad]

This is HUGE. Redistricting is dead in Indiana! This is the work of thousands of Hoosiers who said NO to political games. Now let's focus on the real issues facing our families - the crazy cost of healthcare, education, housing. Proud to have played a role in this fight. Onward!

[Niki Kelly @nkellyIN]

BREAKING:

Sen. Rodric Bray announces after another Senate Republican caucus there are not enough votes for redistricting and the Senate will not convene in December.

NEW: Amazon is building their largest data center in Indiana.

Neighbors say the company is using up the drinking water they rely on.

This is just one of the data center fights unfolding across the country. Communities everywhere are up in arms against this Big Tech invasion.

[Bobby Kogan @BBKogan]

New analysis from CBO of the "Big Beautiful Bill" shows the bottom 20% get poorer, not much change for most of America, & the top 10% get meaningfully richer - and that's before tariffs

It was the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in history

[B.W. Carlin @BaileyCarlin]

Bernie Sanders in 2003.

Worth the watch.

[Garrett Blad @gblad]

I've talked with so many people who recently moved here or who just aren't registered who missed the deadline to register - which in Indiana was a month ago. This is what voter suppression looks like.

[Jason M. Critchlow @Jcritchl]

Lots of unregistered voters showing up to vote - the most I have ever seen. We need same day voter registration like a myriad of other states...

[Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol]

I have cried a dozen times trying to post this video, deleting it, and trying again.

This is the park where my kids played.
The restaurant where I fell in love.
An art studio of a dear friend.

It’s a video of Asheville to you, but it’s home to me.

Please don’t forget us.

[Michael Thomas @curious_founder]

What’s the term for a political system where a couple suburbs in Pennsylvania decide the fate of 300 million+ people?

[Garrett Blad @gblad]

Hard to point to a policy the federal government has implemented that will change my life as directly as this 🙏 God bless and protect @linakhanFTC

[philip lewis @Phil_Lewis_]

The FTC is finally making it easier to cancel your gym membership

It has adopted a “click-to-cancel” rule requiring businesses to make canceling a subscription as easy as signing up https://t.co/IyHczZCwGK

[Michael Thomas @curious_founder]

Huh that’s weird. Never could have seen this coming.
