A working class hero is something to be. Joseph Trost is a concrete worker by day, but after work he's been pounding the pavement in House District 52, listening to his neighbors, looking for their vote in November. He's our next guest.

Jessica Bailey brought a votemobile to Porter County - one of only two counties in the state to have one. This is the kind of outside-the-box, pro-democracy thinking Indiana could use in the office of the state comptroller.
Early voting begins October 6.

Indiana Republicans have cut social spending, slashed business regulations, and privatized public services. These are hallmarks of libertarian economics. So why does Libertarian State House candidate Travis Gearhart disagree with their handling of the Hoosier economy?

Libertarians are famously critical of government, so when Scott welcomed Libertarian Indiana State House candidate Travis Gearhart to the pod he asked, "if you are skeptical of government, why are you trying to join the government?"

Over 100 years of propaganda by the ruling class has left socialism with a branding problem. But if you ask people about individual elements of the DSA platform, they're overwhelmingly popular. What "made America great" in the post-war era? A fair amount of socialism.

Trump said last week that communities resisting data center development must like being "backwards and poor." Tell that to literally ANY town in Indiana where these things are proposed. Gov. Mike Braun might be "agnostic" about them, but Hoosiers say NOT IN MY BACK YARD!

Gary, IN went two full weeks without power after a severe storm. Completely unacceptable and NIPSCO should be ashamed. Gary Mayor Eddie Melton hasn't been forceful in demanding accountability. Is it because of all the campaign money NIPSCO has given him over the years?

Hoosiers have repeatedly voted for the people intentionally making our lives worse. It's like we have Stockholm Syndrome. We have a chance to escape from our abusers in 56 days. (Early voting begins in less than a month).

🚨🥩 "ORANGE BEEF"
300k metric tons of tariff-free foreign beef are entering the U.S. market. While touted as a discounted option, it’s raising food safety worries and alarms for American ranchers.
Here is how to make sure you are actually buying domestic meat: 👇
