  1. > Sen. Greg Goode, a Republican and a key swing vote who would not divulge his leaning under immense pressure from the White House, voted against the bill.

    >“We have to redirect our focus to what really matters, I believe, to Hoosiers,” Goode said in a speech on the floor before the vote.

    >“The forces that define this vitriolic political affairs in places outside of Indiana have been gradually and now very blatantly infiltrated the political affairs in Indiana,” Goode said, citing instances of misinformation, pressure campaigns and threats of primaries and violence. Goode was swatted earlier this year after Trump accused him of “not wanting to resdistrict” in a TRUTH Social post.

    A man with morals, amazing.

    21/40 Republicans voting against redistricting has been the first sign of Trump losing his grip on the party since 2017

  3. The trouble with issuing terrifying dictatorial threats is that when they stop working, you just look like an impotent old man whose only hope of avoiding prison will be the dementia diagnosis.

    I turns out that pissing off your potential allies when you have little leverage is not a great approach to getting what you want done.

  5. The most fascistic authoritarian ruler in American history finally defied by … *checks notes* Indiana State Senators?

  6. One of the Indiana republicans has a child with downsyndrom Donald used a slur used against those with such syndromes to attack governor Walz. I love it when his disgusting behavior comes back to bite him. Also republicans in Missouri and Ohio are trying to sidesteps a voter referendum that asked for fair maps so anytime republicans try to complain about California tell them to shut the fuck up
