Note for Democratic politicians: you don't have to start your condemnations of ICE raids with "We all want to catch violent criminals, but..." Just say "These raids have nothing to do with catching criminals and everything to do with terrorizing innocent minority groups."

Another wrinkle: the foreperson told the magistrate the grand jury voted on the 2nd indictment.
We now know they didn’t.
The foreperson was probably just confused.
But it does raise a question — would the magistrate have accepted the indictment if she’d known the truth?

A university requiring their state senator to FOIA records is dumb. A university taking far longer than the legally allowed time to provide that response is real dumb. A university charging their own state senator $4,500 for those records is self-harm is basically a cry for help.

![The image displays a monochrome photograph of an isolated wooden house situated in what appears to be the middle of a vast, plowed field. The sky is clear and devoid of clouds, indicating fair weather conditions at the time the photo was taken.
Upon closer examination, one can notice several key features:
- The building has two visible sections; each section contains doors or windows on the front side.
- One prominent feature is that there appears to be an attached small structure next to the house. This could possibly serve as a shed or another residential space.
- There's a distinct shadow cast by what might be overhead sun, suggesting it was taken during daylight hours.
In terms of historical context:
This photograph seems indicative of rural American life perhaps from the early 20th century given its style and composition. The house looks aged with signs of wear on its exterior walls. It is surrounded by arable land which has been recently plowed or tilled, suggesting that it's a working farm.
From additional information provided:
The source suggests this image was captured in Hall County, Texas (as indicated by the reference to "Cultivated fields and abandoned tenant house"). This could imply socio-economic conditions of rural America during times when agriculture played a significant role. The term 'tenant house' often refers to housing for farm workers on someone else's land.

The Indiana State Senate rejected President Donald Trump’s call for a special session to redraw the state’s congressional map ahead of the 2026 midterms. The move preserves Indiana’s current map and represents yet another rebuke of Trump’s national gerrymander push.
