Six more American soldiers lost their lives, and prayers across the nation are pouring in for their families. This is why congressional oversight on this war is so important. Americans deserve answers and a debate now, but Indiana’s Republican representatives are preventing it.

Hoosiers don't want their tax dollars going to fund an ideological political organization. Governor Braun is lying that IN schools have a free speech crisis. The recent actions of Hoosier students show they know they have the right to speak their minds. https://t.co/rZXqtM3eoe

Diego Morales’ office is paying more than $155 for used vehicle reports that usually cost just $25-30 each. Hoosiers are fed up with Diego’s constant abuse of tax dollars and incompetence in office. This November, Indiana will vote to clean up his mess. https://t.co/6VFsaZMKgd

Fewer than 2,200 Hoosiers have used Indiana’s free vehicle history report program, a fraction of the volume the state has been paying for.

NIPSCO announced they’ve double charged over 3,500 customers on their gas bills for years — perhaps even decades. The Republican-controlled state government has allowed billion-dollar utility companies to rip off Hoosiers for too long. It’s time to vote for change in November.

Former Portage GOP Mayor James Snyder avoided prison time for tax crimes. This is another instance of Republican office-holders abusing their power. Corruption in public office needs to stop, wherever it is found. A slap on the wrist does not do the job. https://t.co/Iz9Ep2LTwF

Former Portage Mayor James Snyder was sentenced Tuesday to 36 months on probation for his 2019 felony conviction of obstructing the IRS.

After 21+ years of one-party Republican control in Indiana, Hoosiers have the 43rd lowest average weekly wage in the country. Even adjusted for cost of living, Indiana ranks 36th. Hoosiers need a change. https://t.co/Aq6f2cEmWH

The Secretary of State’s office is tasked with ensuring fair elections. But Diego Morales is spending your tax dollars to work with a right wing political activist group. Hoosiers deserve impartial election administration, and a new Secretary of State. https://t.co/gWqEFxBnun

While your electric bills rise, Governor Braun is doing a victory lap. There’s no reason to celebrate when Republican utility regulators allowed your rates to go up 20% in a year.
Governor Mike Braun held a press conference Monday, highlighting what he says are early results from Indiana's new approach to lowering energy costs for ratepayers.

Indiana’s near-total abortion ban is completely out of step with everyday Hoosiers and Republicans like AG Rokita could let this ruling stand if they want.

The Braun administration has proposed charging $15.60 in tolls to drive a car across Indiana on Interstate 70 in order to pay for widening all of that highway to six lanes.

Under this administration, the American economy is struggling. Last month alone, the US lost over 92,000 jobs. This fall, Hoosiers can lead the way by flipping Congress and holding this administration accountable. https://t.co/2Gc6T3TyWc

Economists had forecast a gain of 60,000 jobs last month. The unexpected drop was due to job losses in health care and the federal government.

Every time Republicans are in charge, the price of gas goes up! The average price Hoosiers pay at the pump is up almost 70 cents in just one week thanks to the GOP. That’s over $10 more per fill up. https://t.co/cyC8k4ylYU

A Republican state lawmaker who owns a golf course that employs minors was the Senate sponsor for the bill to weaken IN’s child labor laws. Once again the Indiana GOP wants to bring IN back a century - this time to force children to work long hours with no additional oversight.
"The bill’s Senate sponsor, who owns a golf course that employs teen workers, also spearheaded 2024 legislation to weaken guardrails on work hours for the youngest teens and to lower the age at which teens can serve alcohol. Both of those bills were signed into law." Read more:

A state court issued a permanent religious exemption injunction on the state abortion ban yesterday. This applies to any Hoosier woman whose religious beliefs direct them to get care which the ban prevents. This ban is completely out of step with everyday Hoosiers.
