Aw, Nancy is so cute. Brings back lovely memories of my orange cat, Nick, who loved to fetch sparkle balls.

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist

I know a thing or two about SNAP because President Biden appointed me to work in the office that oversees that program at USDA.

You should know that people are going to go hungry this month because the Trump White House deliberately chose to withhold their benefits.

Indiana Senate GOP says redistricting votes 'aren’t there,' stalling mid-decade push • Indiana Capital Chronicle Republican leaders in the Indiana Senate say they don’t have the votes needed to pursue a mid-decade redraw of the state’s congressional map.

I’m surrounded by what I guess are “normies” in the Midwest who do care and do pay attention. It’s not a hard sell—politicians just need to stiffen their spines.

This op-ed against redistricting from former Indiana Gov Mitch Daniels comes one day after Indiana Senate Republicans shared they did not have the votes to redraw maps this year.

Opinion | I want the GOP to keep control of the House. But not this way. My fellow Indiana Republicans shouldn’t cave to White House pressure to redistrict.
