🚨 This is cheating. Full stop. 🚨

Trump is demanding that Indiana Republicans rig our map mid-decade—because he’s losing and the only way he wins is if they cheat.

📞 Flood their phones:

🟡 Gov. Braun — 317-232-4567
🟡 Sen. Bray — 317-232-9400
🟡 Rep. Huston — 317-232-9677

Hoosier families asked for real affordability relief.

Republicans chose ideology instead.

On this day we remember the lives lost, the families forever changed and the first responders who ran toward danger on 9/11. Never forget.

[Senator Shelli Yoder @SenatorYoder]

Appreciate the discussion with @PsakiBriefing for inviting me to break it down and speak truth to power.

To my Republican colleagues: If you're serious about representing Hoosiers—not just pleasing Trump—say no to cheating. Say no to selling out. #INForAll #ProtectOurVote

Southern Monroe Water has requested a rate adjustment to help cover rising costs and infrastructure needs. The OUCC is reviewing the case and accepting public input through Sept. 8.

Grateful to join the Ellettsville Chamber for a powerful convo with local leaders and business owners. When communities speak up, legislators listen. Thanks to all who showed up, asked bold questions and reminded me who I’m fighting for. #INForAll #StatehouseToMainStreet

Proud to help sign HB 1221 into law—a win for the teachers, public employees and first responders who gave everything to Indiana.

They showed up for us. This law shows up for them.
This isn’t just policy—it’s a promise kept.

HB 1167 is now law—a step forward for harm reduction and public safety in Indiana. It makes drug testing strips legal, helping detect deadly substances like fentanyl and prevent overdoses. This saves lives and keeps Hoosiers safe—at home, work and school. #INForAll #HarmReduction

Called bingo, swapped Indy 500 jokes and heard firsthand how SEA 176 is helping—without folks even knowing it was my bill. That’s the goal: policy that meets people where they are. Grateful for the laughs and insights, Majestic.

Spoke with the Bloomington Rotary Club—leaders who live out service above self. We talked challenges, solutions, and the path forward. Grateful for their thoughtful questions and shared commitment to building a stronger, more equitable Indiana. #INForAll

Before the storms hit, I visited Brickyard Healthcare in Bloomington for Carnival Day—balloons, games, and lots of joy. Grateful for the chance to connect with residents and staff who make compassion a part of daily life. Thank you for all you do!

The National Weather Service has issued a tornado warning for northern Monroe County until 9:15 p.m. A severe thunderstorm capable of producing a tornado was spotted 9 miles north of Bloomington.

[Senator Shelli Yoder @SenatorYoder]

Republicans ignored the warnings. Now Hoosiers face $4,600 in new costs and thousands of lost jobs.

I’ve filed amendments, resolutions and now a formal study request. Our economy is too important to ignore.

[IN Senate Democrats @INSenDems]

Senate Democrats warned about reckless tariffs. Republicans refused to listen.
Now Hoosier families face $4.6K in new costs and thousands of lost jobs.
We deserve leaders who act before the damage is done — not after.
🧠 Remember. 🗳️ Hold them accountable. https://t.co/5psRx1cEMT

When families are struggling, $120 in food support can make all the difference. We can’t let missed deadlines become missed meals. Let’s make this right. #FeedTheKids #INForAll

[IN Senate Democrats @INSenDems]

670,000 Hoosier kids lost $120 in summer food support because @GovBraunIN’s admin wasn’t ready. We can’t afford another failure like this.

Honored to attend Monroe County’s Valor Awards in Bloomington. Grateful to recognize the courage of first responders, 911 dispatchers & Life Flight healthcare workers — true heroes who remind us what public service is all about. Thank you for your bravery. 💙

🌄 Started the day in Elkhart at the RV Industry POWER Breakfast for a ceremonial signing of SEA 484 — highlighting how outdoor rec powers Indiana’s economy.

📈 My SB 1616 amendment calls for a study on how our public lands fuel jobs, tourism & growth. #INForAll #RVStrong

What a night! I joined 1400+ Ivy Tech grads in Bloomington to celebrate a milestone full of resilience, ambition and the power of education.

Congratulations, Class of 2025 — you're building a stronger Indiana, one degree at a time. 💜
