Remembering today my uncle, Jerry Lee Goss, KIA in Mediterranean Sea OTD 1967 aboard #USSLiberty. We will never forget you or your crew mates. #NeverForgotten #RememberTheLiberty @usslibertyvets @ArlingtonNatl

This summer I wrote a piece making the case that defending public schools and opposing school vouchers was a surprisingly potent issue for Dems running in red and purple states. Of the candidates I featured, all but one won their races last night.

Some of the most vindicated individuals in American political history. Trump was always exactly what they said he was.

The 1976 Reds swept the NLCS and World Series. No team has accomplished both since. Milwaukee was 3 outs away from matching that achievement, but didn’t. The Big Red Machine remains the standard. The Redlegs need to get back to this.

A long-awaited trial for former Indiana Virtual School director Phillip Holden got underway Tuesday with jury selection. Holden is one of the school leaders accused of inflating the virtual charter school’s enrollment figures, costing Indiana $44 million. chalkbeat.org/indiana/2026/1…

I keep seeing this interesting creature. Any idea what it is? It’s wings move like a hummingbird but its head has what looks like antenna like an insect.

Who’s going to inform this guy that real spending per student is down over 15 years and that SB1 cuts another 5-17% from schools. If you don’t like a property tax referenda for schools, blame the folks who cut spending and voted for SB1.
School corporations across Indiana have spent money irresponsibly for years. Now these referendums are trying to put even more financial liability on Hoosiers taxpayers. Hardworking families shouldn’t be on the hook for years of reckless spending!

Indiana Republicans’ SB1 is defunding public schools & raising local taxes. Many are warning of cuts even if referendums pass, and bigger cuts if they don’t. It’s time Hoosiers had a legislature that fully funded public schools & ended the SB 1 shell game. wrtv.com/as-seen-on/school-r…

Indiana Republicans’ school voucher program was sold as a way to help low-income families. It’s doing the opposite. Low and middle income Hoosier families are now paying to send millionaires’ kids to private schools and public schools are losing out.  chalkbeat.org/indiana/2026/0…

"The common denominator in the ugliness since this country lost its civility is Trump. He has gone way past just changing the tone of our politics. He has been systematically trying to destroy everything that ties us to each other and to our country..." open.substack.com/pub/heathe…

A player could have a hit in all 162 games for 26 straight season and he would still not beat Pete Rose hit record. In fact, he would be 44 hits shy. Imagine having a 4,212 hit streak and still not having the hits record lol.

"If you’re a conservative, it’s just really hard to come up with a credible reason why returning Trump’s enablers to Congress this November will help accomplish anything resembling conservative policies or values. All it will do is ensure Trump has zero accountability as he drives America into a financial ditch with one hand and crumples the Constitution with the other."

While the winner of Indiana’s secretary of state race will lead an office that helps administer elections and serves businesses across the state, they could also determine which political parties have a viable path onto future ballots. #INPol #INlegis pro.stateaffairs.com/in/elec…

Arizona Sheriff: I was one of the first law enforcement leaders in the country to end our contract with Flock. It would be irresponsible not to equip my deputies with the best technology to help them do their jobs, but I will never allow technology to supersede your rights. I believe the latest camera networks powered by AI and machine learning are capable of violating our citizens' Fourth Amendment rights. We shouldn't wait for the Supreme Court to tell us something is a violation before we decide to protect the privacy of our citizens.
