Learned of Lee Hamilton’s passing from Pete this morning. Not one mention on Indianapolis tv news media (looking at you, Angela Ganote but to be fair, you’re busy preening for the camera and handwringing over student ICE protests)

He was known for his wisdom and commitment to bipartisanship.
Lee Hamilton was a giant at home in Indiana and a deeply respected leader on the international stage. He embodied the best kind of Hoosier values with his principled, steady leadership across a remarkable career in public service.

House Republicans just voted to let large projects like data centers, solar farms, oil refineries and smelting plants be built on certain farmland in Indiana.

In HB 1333, if the soil quality is poor, these projects can move forward automatically, without public hearings or community input.

we said all along that they wanted Gawker dead not because we embarrassed a pro wrestler but because the Epstein story is one Gawker was covering a decade before most other people caught up & was just one of many stories exposing powerful people and their misdeeds
Among the batch of newly released emails from Jeffrey Epstein: Epstein telling Peter Thiel he would “gladly share…expenses for the Gawker suit.”

This was sent the day after @rmac.bsky.social and @mattdrange.bsky.social reported in Forbes that Thiel was behind the lawsuit that would bankrupt Gawker

Excited to share our work on #AncientRNA from alcohol-preserved lungs, recovering the oldest human RNA virus genome (an 18th-century rhinovirus). Our study shows that viral RNA remnants persist in centuries-old tissue, opening new ways to study virus evolution and historical disease #Paleovirology🫁🦠

Indiana House Republicans just voted against giving you the same sales tax exemption on your utility bill that data centers have.

If data centers don't have to pay the 7% sales tax, neither should you.

Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift.

It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.

Another bill discussed is a total ban on rank choice voting.

THIS…..like redistricting…..is an attempt to put partisan politics before good public policy.

I would like to see more studies of rank choice voting to know the unintended consequences, but this bill will prohibit that.
This bill has the potential to cause “influencers” being req’d to register with the IN Lobby Reg Com (IRLC) if you rec $500 in compensation.

My concern: any ad revenue sharing, ie Youtube (think 1099 reporting for your taxes) could trigger this.

The vote came despite concerns from the agency charged with regulating legislative branch lobbyists, with lawmakers citing a compressed session schedule.

Since the Dollar is about to get cooked, silver prices have increased enough that you can even sell ‘silver-plated’ items now for a decent price. In normal times it’s not worth the trouble so coin shops would not purchase it, but now it’s worth the trouble!
