A brief review of the goings-on in #GOP #Indiana:

Our senators are too busy telling the #BigLie to tell the truth about the former president's attack on our democracy.

My rep isn't standing up for much of anything but wants Nancy Pelosi to answer for the breach of the Capitol.
The #GOP super majority in the #IN legislature is now

eliminating gun permits.

removing protections from our few remaining wetlands.

limiting charitable cash bail.

taking over the Indianapolis police force.

removing the few protections Indy tenants have from bad landlords
continuing to allow 'fun' coyote hunts for prizes.

limiting the governor's ability to deal with emergencies like COVID19 - because of course! Indiana only has 12000+ #COVID19 deaths so overreach is an issue.

trying to undo Indy referendum's to upgrade our bus routes.
while continuing efforts to limit women's access to reproductive healthcare, w/ a forced ultrasound law going into effect just a couple weeks ago.

And then there are the coal ash ponds.

@IndyStarSarah reports on our water quality being up for debate

indianapolisstar-in.newsmemory.com/?publink=21af4…
from the article by @IndyStarSarah:

"Ash from Indiana's coal-burning power plants is contaminating groundwater across the state, rendering it unsafe to drink. But unlike some other states, Indiana is not requiring utility companies to remove the toxic ash from leaky pits."
This incredibly detailed and painstakingly researched article pretty much sums up the state of our state:

never underestimate the #GOP's ability to create a bad situation - and then make it worse, either by dereliction of duty or outright corruption.

Kudos to the @IndyStar and
to the cadre of great writers like @IndyStarSarah and @adamwren and @JamesEBriggs for doing their best to inform and educate.

As a matter of fact, Mr. Briggs' latest has a topic I forgot: our legislature's working on laws that "could make it illegal to merely attend protests"
Great summation of the Indiana legislature's agenda here:

The #GOP news is exhausting. Too bad I didn't find and read this last article, and post it, instead of spending time on this thread.

But at least it's nice to know I'm not alone in wondering what the hell the GOP thinks its doing - on the national, state and local levels.

@ForLibrarians @indystar Here’s the defining image of Sen. Mike Braun’s shameful political career.

He’s sitting at a desk in the Capitol wearing a gray suit and blue mask. He’s holding a blue pen in his right hand, the tip hovering over a sheet of paper.

'Signing my objection to Arizona electors,' ...
@ForLibrarians @indystar Braun said on Twitter at 12:43 p.m. Wednesday.

You know, just a U.S. senator from Indiana throwing out the votes of millions of Americans like it’s no big deal. That’s apparently how Braun felt — that it’s all a meaningless, temporary joke to placate a sensitive loser ...
@ForLibrarians @indystar of a president and then everyone can move on. A few days earlier, Braun absurdly pretended there would be no consequences to taking formal action to overturn the November presidential election. What’d he call it? That’s right, pretended there would be no consequences to taking...
