NEW: 261 Democratic and Republican lawmakers have come together to challenge Trump in court – this time, Trump’s attempts to limit mail-in voting.
 
Reminder: even Donald Trump votes by mail. It’s safe and secure.

Reports indicate ICE arrests in Indianapolis are surging. I just launched an official Congressional inquiry into ICE's presence in Indy — and I'm making sure you can access help and resources if needed.

When this Indianapolis family needed help with the IRS, my office stepped in to get the issue resolved. If you are having trouble with a federal program, my team is here to help. Visit carson.house.gov.

After visiting Miami Correctional Facility in Indiana and demanding answers from ICE, I held a Report to the Community to share what we have learned about the conditions inside.

63 years ago today, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and other civil rights leaders brought thousands together for the March on Washington to demand freedom and economic opportunity for African Americans.

Donald Trump votes by mail. But he wants to make it so you can’t. 
 
The Supreme Court just  failed to block the president’s plan to restrict mail-in voting.

Join me, @acluindiana.bsky.social, and Indiana Organizing Project for a webinar report to the community on concerns about Miami Correctional Facility, learn of efforts to cease ICE detention, and provide voice to the individuals detained at Miami.

Gary residents have been without power for two weeks. Their electricity bills have been going up for the last two years — while their utility company rakes in huge profits.

Enjoying one of my favorite Hoosier traditions—the Indiana State Fair!

Indianapolis is recovering from record-breaking flooding, and I want to make sure Hoosiers know what resources are available. 

As recovery continues, I am working to ensure Indianapolis gets the federal resources it needs to recover and rebuild.
August 21, 2026 at 6:42 PM
We’re in an affordability crisis. The average Hoosier is paying $3,300 more a year for basic expenses under this administration.

Indianapolis continues to fight the aftermath of catastrophic flooding. 

I joined the entire Indiana congressional delegation in supporting the state's major disaster declaration to help ensure our community has the federal assistance necessary to recover.

Careers in the aviation industry are incredibly gratifying — and we need to prepare the next generation of workers. The Aviation Institute of Maintenance in my district is one way Hoosiers can learn the skills necessary to work in aviation maintenance and trade technician positions.

Elanco has already brought 1,300 jobs to Indiana, with 600 more expected – and is cementing Indianapolis’ status as a research hub. I was honored to tour the facility today and sit down with Elanco’s leadership!

The president has signed an emergency declaration for Indiana to provide federal assistance in the aftermath of catastrophic floods. I will be working with the city to help secure new funds for recovery efforts.
August 16, 2026 at 12:23 AM
Indianapolis: follow the advice and directives of local authorities as we navigate severe flooding.

Residents in Ravenswood and Rocky Ripple are strongly advised to evacuate.

I’ll continue monitoring conditions—if necessary, I’m prepared to work to bring federal resources to Indianapolis.

As costs continue to rise, more families than ever need help to put food on the table. I helped pass out groceries at the Gleaners Mobile Food Clinic—and I’ll continue fighting to ensure no one goes hungry.

I would not be where I am today without Head Start. I know firsthand what this program means for children and families.

But President Trump wants to strip away the standards that ensure quality education and family support, threatening a program that has helped generations of children succeed.
