Indiana Gov. Mike Braun (R ) on Thursday said he would help President Trump primary Republican state lawmakers who voted against a redistricting measure backed by the leader. “I am very disappointed that a small group of misguided State Senators have partnered with Democrats to reject this opportunity to protect Hoosiers with fair maps and to reject the leadership of President Trump. Ultimately, decisions like this carry political consequences,” Braun wrote in a post on the social platform X. ‘I will be working with the President to challenge these people who do not represent the best interests of Hoosiers,” he...

Thank you Indiana! /max sarcasm Democrats everywhere want to offer their most sincere thank you to the Republicans in the state of Indiana for saving 2 democrat House seats.

The vote comes with significant ramifications for the 2026 midterm elections as some Democratic- and Republican-led...

It's aimed square at spots like Marion County, where critics say DA Ryan Mears has let folks with rap sheets, like the IndyGo bus arsonist, walk free, spiking fear in neighborhoods. Ireland's bill would expand impeachment beyond just "high crimes" to...
