Beau Bayh is candidate for centrists who want change now in Indiana. indystar.com/story/opinion/c…
What I notice is that the street in this photo doesn’t have any potholes or patching because Indianapolis got the federal government to pay for complete resurfacing, new drainage, etc. in exchange for calling this bus route a BRT.
ZERO people at the bus stop during 5-o’clock Rush Hour at the IndyGo bus stop at 42nd & College Ave.
Where are all the bus riders I keep hearing so much about? If they don’t use the bus during RUSH HOUR then when do they actually use them?
Because the bus stops are empty in the mornings too… and the afternoons…
A charter-friendly group and the state teachers' union have spent thousands on opposing slates of five candidates. See who's getting support. indystar.com/story/news/poli…

Replying to @Bloomberg
@Bloomberg churned through three completely different guys all playing the @TheStalwart character and thought we wouldn't notice

needed video to believe he actually said this 9 days before an election.
The visible presence of real-life leftists who detest Beau Bayh and want him to lose really puts a damper on Rs' "he's not a moderate!" schtick.

NEW: Scott Presler allowed multiple out of state GOP operatives to use his home in Pennsylvania to vote in the '24 election. Those operatives then left the state. Election lawyers say this could be in violation of PA voting laws.

Just such a fun chart here from @greg_ip. If only we could tease out some meaning. Ah, well, nevertheless. 🤣
