Leslie Nuss and Ross Thomas unload on the hypocrisy of Indiana's "family-values" right - calling out Micah Beckwith's scandals and the moral rot behind the rhetoric.

To summarize this thread:
Epstein: I’m best friends with this pedo running for President, here’s a bunch of stories about how big a pedo he is

NYT: but her emails
Landon Thomas Jr of the New York Times got told by Jeffrey Epstein that Trump walked into a glass door bc he was so busy staring at girls in Epstein's house and didn't print it. wild that the Times didn't consider that newsworthy.

We need a massive blue wave to hit Indiana so we can kick the lying, criminal, cheaters out and put them in prison.

Jim Banks calls for Indiana to have a 9-0 Republican congressional map and alleges that "the Democrats manipulated the census data when Joe Biden came into office." (The 2020 census happened in 2020, when believe it or not Trump was president)

Your friendly reminder as Don's relationship with Sleazy E is back in the news today.

Redistricting isn't reform - it's rigging. Leslie Nuss calls the mid-decade maps unethical and blatant cheating, arguing Hoosier representation should match real voters, not engineered outcomes.

Are you loyal to the party or to your values?

Political parties are - in and of themselves - neutral vessels. They are a means by which to achieve our ends.

Who serves whom?

Is the party the tool or are you?

Winning is meaningless without follow-thru.

Last week, 5/6 Indiana communities with school tax referendums on the ballot approved of the levies. One of them is right in Leslie Nuss' backyard - and the programs those dollars fund are meaningful.

Private religious schools with few requirements and little accountability for public money are not only a fiscal abomination, but a flagrant violation of the 1st Amendment.

This Sunday, on HoosLeft This Week, we looked at a report that suggested Indiana counties use wildly divergent methods to determine who deserves a public defender.

Attorney Ross Thomas explains.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Democrats sweep last Tuesday's elections.
Nancy Pelosi is retiring.
…and Dick Cheney is DEAD.

Now THAT'S a COLD open.

It's inefficient to just do charity. Fix the systemic problems upstream to prevent people from falling in.

Remember when some of us said the Democratic leadership would take all the wrong lessons from the blue tsunami and squander all the goodwill?

Here you go.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

These 8 useless Democratic Senators are all wealthy and have feathered themselves a lovely retirement nest.

They don't need to be in these positions anymore.

They can amble away into the privileged nothingness that defines their spinelessness and lack of courage.

Demand more and better, folks.
