October jobs numbers is the largest one month job loss report since 2003. Yikes. @profhicks.bsky.social told yall it was coming. Give him a follow & read his stuff.

Another week of fantastic volunteer phone banking against redistricting in Indiana. About 25 in person and virtual making calls. Thanks to @mirrorindy.org/ @peterblanchard.bsky.social for coming out to talk with folks!

Indiana GOP and Governor Braun just called a special session for redistricting. *groan*

Six years ago this group started recruiting supporters for Joe Biden with four people. It’s odd to see this sucker grow to 10,000 and be considered so influential in the Indiana Dem world. If you’ve been part of this journey? Thank you. I’m humbled. Let’s keep working.

Coach Lasso: be curious; not judgmental. Maybe Rep. Ireland would be better served by being open minded about his constituents’ views rather than his next media interview calling for complete domination by his party. Just my two cents.

Woof. What a grind out. What a win. 3-2. First time in, like, a decade we won a game after a bye week. Let’s Freggin go. #BearDown #ClubDub

So, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting’s last day is today … and we’re going into a federal governmental shutdown because a group of folks won’t actively listen to one another? Seems ironic and yet poetic.

👀

… ya know, just 46 doing some grocery shopping on a Saturday stopping by to support scouting …

Happy football season, yall.

Bela. So hot right now.

Someone forgot to take down this webpage: www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/v...

GOP: we believe in small, locally controlled government. Also GOP: POTUS is taking over and running a municipal police department and we’re thrilled! Huh?

All of this talk about gerrymandering in Indiana is nice & all … but clearly it would be unconstitutional according to Article 4, Section 5.

Big get by @dscc.bsky.social . Go get 'em @roycoopernc.bsky.social !

I tell ya. Indy just does big things incredibly well. Yesterday, on the near west side and Westside of downtown: races and events at IMS, an Indy XI game, a Circle City ballgame, sold out concert at white river and another event near all of it incredible.

Anything going on today? 😳

How to sound tough but do nothing: Impose tariffs on a country where we already impose sanctions. A 100% tariff on almost nothing will do almost nothing.

See previous post. It almost never gets better. Ever.

There’s an old rule in litigation. A bad case rarely gets better - no matter how much evidence you attempt to get. In my experience, same goes for legislation.

Whoa.

Wag. The. Dog.

Not a good look for the big parade this weekend.

I know everyone's been breathlessly waiting for what I was going to write about LA. here you go - gifted www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

We @lawfaremedia.org will hopefully publish something on this soon but fwiw the legal authority invoked is NOT the Insurrection Act — it’s 10 USC 12406, which is much more limited than an Insurrection Act invocation. (Reporters: Chris Mirasola is the expert to talk to about this)

I mean. This is a heckuva bday present. Just saying. #GoodTrouble

Strict Scrutiny will be applied. Roberts’ court has been a fierce defender of fundamental rights like those in 1A. 47s decision is prima facie content based. Should be a win for NPR.

Today, we honor and remember those who gave their all. Please consider making a donation to Wreaths Across American to sponsor a wreath at the holidays for $15. www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/pages/14819/...

What an amazing time helping @scoutingamerica.bsky.social represent in today’s 500 Parade! They did an amazing job!

Carb Day. Never disappoints.

Doesn’t get much better than this. @indycar.com

I’ve said it before. I’ll say it again. Legislating is *hard*. Folks just don’t understand how difficult being a MoC truly is.

And, here ... we ... go.

@nwi-jsp.bsky.social for the win. Welcome DAAAAA POPE!

My friend, Todd Harper, is suing POTUS for wrongful termination. Without him, I wouldn’t have ever had a career in politics. As he told me yesterday, “When someone starts a fight with a region kid; we stand up, push back, and do what’s right.” www.reuters.com/world/us/dem...

It’s May. In Indy. The greatest annual month in any city in the world. #RACERSandPACERS #Indy500

Also? GDP *shrank* 0.3% in Q1. Yikes, folks.

I wonder what’s going on at truth social this morning.

Big fan of along up to @corybooker.com having a sit in on the Capitol Steps with @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, @carson.house.gov and others. #GoodTrouble

Spent some time with folks in Salem, Indiana revving up the local county Democrats. Thanks for the invite Washington County @indems.bsky.social !

Today is @depauwuniversity.bsky.social day of giving! As the Alumni Board of Director’s chair of Alumni Engagement, I can’t wait to see all 33,000 worldwide alums donate! Click here to do so: www.givecampus.com/yzdw8d

When you’ve lost the Wall Street Journal … it’s not a great day.

My son has only known one earthly leader of his faith. I'm so happy it was Pope Francis. We grieve with the rest of the world on the passing of this wonderful servant of others. Thank you.

At this moment, 250 years ago, two lanterns were lit and hung at the Old North Church in Boston. Paul Revere began his ride. English troops began to assemble and march on Lexington & Concord. And, the American Revolution began.

Crazy that it’s still illegal, under Indiana law, for these educators to call this a “strike” even though most public school systems don’t have any teachers there today and moved to e-learning.

My grandfather always had a tradition. You’d go hit a bucket of balls the morning of Sunday at the Masters. Always. Traditions are good. Golf is fun. Enjoy the day.

Shot. Chaser.

Okay … and now what?

Bear Down. In a bad way.
