Trump and other top Republicans will read passages in a marathon Bible event President Donald Trump and many of his conservative Christian supporters are participating in a marathon Bible reading event.

Trump’s verse includes message about turning from wicked ways. So - when does he plan to start doing that? Apparently Hegseth and Rubio are also reading passages. No hypocrisy there at all.

In America we count votes. We don’t crown kings Carmel, Indiana high schooler, Jack McNally, reminds us that the Indiana midterms matter because in America we count votes. We don't crown kings.

An Indiana high schooler reminds all of us: In America, we count votes. We don’t crown kings. Whether we vote - and how we vote - matters for the future of democracy. Right now, we are on the brink of authoritarianism.

Not A Lot of “Winning” Anywhere His ballroom is a hole in the ground, the economy is stalled, and Iran is celebrating

And yet, there are still likely people who will vote Republican in the midterms. A vote for a Republican is a vote of approval for Trump.

Who else is sitting around with a sick feeling in the pit of their stomach at 1:15 p.m. EDT?

Did any of us ever think we’d hear an American president threaten to commit massive war crimes on another country? Threaten to obliterate them?

I want to say “this isn’t America,” but sadly it now is.

Look what Indiana’s State Republicans are trying to do now:

Curb early voting.

If you are a Hoosier, call your state senator and tell them to stop trying to suppress votes!

Especially as we are being informed that the most controversial bill, which public showed up to protest, is being tabled. Perhaps if we had started on time and held the retirement good wishes for before/after the public session?????

Sitting in Indiana House session, which started 30 minutes late and is now further held up by a House Resolution honoring someone’s retirement.

Meanwhile citizens who showed up at 1:30 for the session have been sitting here for almost an hour waiting for session to begin.

Pretty unreal.

Indiana to partner with Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA to expand presence in schools The partnership would strive to start chapters in every school and punish schools that prevent students from creating or joining the club.

Let’s continuing paying teachers a pittance and shovel money and energy into a Constitutionally questionable partnership with TurningPoint USA. That’s what Indiana’s gov/lt.gov plan to do, starting 3/12/26: Check out this article from IndyStar:

Hate to tell you Senator Britt but this is EXACTLY who many Americans are, including Trump.”

ICE claim that a man shattered his skull running into wall triggers tension at a Minnesota hospital Nurses in Minneapolis doubted federal immigration officers' claims about a Mexican immigrant's severe injuries.

ICE isn’t just murdering people. They are also seriously injuring or disabling people and then lying medical personnel about how the immigrant sustained the injuries. #ICEOut #DefundICE: apnews.com/article/immi...

No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

And now Trump is spewing lies about our major cities: Washington D.C., and LA, specifically. How does he get away with all the lies he tells? He damages and harms so many people with his lies about crime, terrorism…God help us all.

Russia invaded Ukraine and it was a crime. Now America invades Venezuela and Trump wants us to believe we are heroes as he announces “we will run the country.”

This is wrong. Period. Congress has completely rolled over.
