Trying to connect with my fellow Hoosier twitx-exodusers. I am mostly here to stay informed, let off some snark steam, and add news comments here and there. But also hope to stay connected w/others concerned with ed in Indiana, and more broadly as the sustained attack on public education continues.

I said this in my most recent @theatlantic.com article: The lawmakers had to make that video because it's so likely that Trump is, in fact, giving illegal orders, as @gregsargent.bsky.social discusses here.
What's weirdly missing from coverage of the Dem video is any discussion of this Q: Is it reasonable to fear Trump is giving illegal orders, or not? The answer is, yes, of course it is.
On the boat bombings, for instance, evidence is extensive. Here's a look at it:

Mamdani is the smartest politician I’ve seen in quite awhile.
Trump has said a number of times that you'd be surprised how much he and Mamdani agree on. (Talks again about building housing, lowering rents.)
Trump: "I expect to be helping him, not hurting him."
