Sitting in Indiana House session, which started 30 minutes late and is now further held up by a House Resolution honoring someone’s retirement.
Meanwhile citizens who showed up at 1:30 for the session have been sitting here for almost an hour waiting for session to begin.

No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

And now Trump is spewing lies about our major cities: Washington D.C., and LA, specifically. How does he get away with all the lies he tells? He damages and harms so many people with his lies about crime, terrorism…God help us all.

Russia invaded Ukraine and it was a crime. Now America invades Venezuela and Trump wants us to believe we are heroes as he announces “we will run the country.”
This is wrong. Period. Congress has completely rolled over.
