It’s time for a childcare tax credit for Hoosier families.

Every child in Indiana deserves the same chances and opportunities to get ahead in life. Every family deserves the freedom that comes with having access to affordable healthcare. It is time for Indiana to invest in our future with universal Pre-K.

Todd Rokita thinks he’s above the law, but again, the Indiana Supreme Court has told him differently about his actions toward Dr. Caitlin Bernard. The latest disciplinary complaint against him will go ahead. We will continue standing up for the ability for Hoosiers to receive the care they need.

21 years of Republican rule has left Indiana with some of the worst quality of life in the country. When it comes to healthcare, childcare, and pollution, we trail the rest of America. Childcare costs alone take up almost half the household income many families make. www.cnbc.com/2025/07/14/a...

Chair Karen Tallian: “Every Indiana Republican in Congress voted to protect those who participated in this heinous child trafficking ring with Epstein. Hoosiers deserve to know why. Every American, including Republican voters, wants to know the truth.”

A budget shows where a legislature’s priorities are. For this Republican supermajority, that means eliminating funding for free textbooks and zeroing out funding for trails. All to make sure the very richest households in Indiana get a massive tax cut. indianacapitalchronicle.com/2025/07/16/a...

Erin Houchin was one of seven Republicans on the House Rules Committee to block the release of the Epstein Files within 30 days. Hours later, every Indiana Republican in the full House did the same. They are breaking their promise to Americans — all to protect Donald Trump.

Trump and the Republicans’ government cuts killed over a hundred people in Texas. Now their cuts to FEMA have left West Virginians homeless for weeks. Indiana is one tornado or major flood event away from the same fate unless Democrats are elected to rebuild the federal government.

Trump and the Republicans think Americans are stupid enough to believe there’s no Epstein Files even after he promised to release them as soon as he was elected and AG Pam Bondi said they were “on her desk.” They’re lying because everyone knows Trump was Epstein’s biggest client.

Indiana Task Force One is the best of the best — Hoosiers always answer the call when disaster strikes across the country or at home. But the state government hasn’t contributed any funding to it since 1992. With Trump’s FEMA cuts on the way, this program is at risk of ending entirely.

Clean air and clean water should not be partisan issues. This plan would have benefited all Hoosiers, and helped reduce contamination in the most polluted areas of our state, but Mike Braun killed it. We should be helping our communities prepare for more storms, flooding, and wildfires.

The Republican Big Ugly Bill will leave our state even further in the red. Keeping SNAP intact for every family will cost the state $190M Indiana doesn’t have. The future of HIP 2.0 coverage for 650,000 Hoosiers is in jeopardy, and a dozen rural hospitals are at risk of closing.
