before you nominate Indiana repubs for sainthood here's an important #RealityCheck via @trumpfile.org
It's great that Indiana Republicans rejected the White House's efforts to rig the state's elections.
But people should know they already gerrymandered the state to hell, most recently in 2021.
This is the current map where less than 60% of voters supported Trump last year.

Wow. Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels writes: “Like Soviet commissars in World War II…today's Washington-based enforcers demand maximum, sacrificial loyalty or else… It's an odd way to build a winning party. Especially when, unlike the Soviet army, you don't start with overwhelming numerical superiority.”

The Steve Bannon photos with Jeffrey Epstein make a lot of sense from their emails. I wrote them up in order, 2017 until the moment he was arrested, and they were connected at the hip.
