Today is 6 years since her first seizure. She had 8 of them two nights ago. They’ve changed. She’s changed. We’ve all changed.
But not her smile. Or her toughness. They are still the same.

I love you Addi.

I hate you #epilepsy.

More of this!

The most counterproductive thing a climate advocate can do right now is demand we shut down data centers. Blocking the build isn't a win for the climate. It's a gift to the fossil fuel industry. Here's why. 🧵

Another awesome Race Weekend!

This week in Indiana politics…

[Jon Hooker @Hooker481]

Shoutout to @danorlovsky7 and @espn for a wonderful segment with his son. Wow!

[Jon Hooker @Hooker481]

@goosehall63 It was after hours.

[Jon Hooker @Hooker481]

Against it all…the state flower still grows!

[Jon Hooker @Hooker481]

Hoosier kid making Hoosier plays!

[Jon Hooker @Hooker481]

One way to solve the potholes problem…make every other stoplight flash when it rains. Nobody can go fast enough to worry about the roads.

Let’s get the Bengals to move to Lawrenceburg next!

[Jon Hooker @Hooker481]

Everyone stay calm, it’s just a heart attack!

[Central Indiana Building Trades @BuildTradesIndy]

Thank you to @MilwaukeeTool and L H Industrial Supplies for supporting the 2026 Construction Zone Expo! Your partnership helps connect Indiana students with hands-on experiences and real career paths into Indiana's union construction industry. #ConstructionZone #BuiltToSucceed

[Jon Hooker @Hooker481]

Our partnership with Lilly continues to expand and I am so grateful for their sponsorship for Construction Zone High School recruiting event.

[Central Indiana Building Trades @BuildTradesIndy]

Lilly’s investment in manufacturing goes hand in hand with its commitment to union labor. They recognize that a highly trained union workforce is essential to Indiana’s economy. By supporting programs like Construction Zone, Lilly helps the next generation prepare for the future.

[Meredith Hackler @MhacklerTV]

I’m in Lebanon today where it appears Meta is making an announcement about an additional development in the are. Details to come. The press conference was invite only and starts at 1 pm. @wrtv

[Jon Hooker @Hooker481]

This comment was a slap in the face to the 30,000 union members I represent. Lawyers don’t have the same rules as the idiots pouring the curbs.

After years of support, the @BuildTradesIndy and its affiliates are going to start evaluating pols in a more qualitative manner too.

[Jon Hooker @Hooker481]

Holy cow! I woke up and the Hoosiers are still national champions!

[Jon Hooker @Hooker481]

The Hoosiers are national champions!

[The Building Trades @NABTU]

NABTU will continue working with all data center stakeholders, partners, policymakers, and construction industry allies to safely and responsibly deliver these projects throughout the United States.

@jaypitbiron Councilor Vop Osili announced his candidacy for Mayor in 2027 and Senator Andrea Hunley announced she won’t run for reelection(rumor is she’ll be running for mayor). Senator JD Ford announced run for Congress. And all of those announcements mean others wish to fill their vacancy

[Jon Hooker @Hooker481]

Big week in Indy politics. It’s going to be an interesting 18 months.
