Indiana’s Senate has voted AGAINST the GOP gerrymander that’d have locked in a 9-0 map.
This keeps the 7-2 map in place, saving two Democratic seats heading into 2026.
The vote failed big, 19/31.
The MAJORITY of the GOP senators opposed it!

Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment.
They are openly saying this.

Just so we’re clear, a guy who:
🔴 Got a "loan" of $1 million from his dad
🔴 Brags about dodging taxes
🔴 Has never stood in a checkout line in his life
… thinks affordability is a “hoax.”
If he were any more out of touch, he’d be drifting in space. (Which—listening to his rants—maybe he is?)

How State Tax Cuts Could Lead to a SNAP Crisis
President Donald Trump’s so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act will shift billions in costs for SNAP and Medicaid to states. But with 26 having cut or eliminated state income taxes just since 2021, they may not have the money to continue the programs.
