At the US Capitol this morning for the public media hearing led by Marjorie Taylor Greene (Anti-American Airwaves). Not reporting for my outlet today, just here as a curious citizen.
Dozens of sandhill cranes found dead near Seymour, likely due to bird flu. We got a tip from someone passing through the area and I went down to confirm this afternoon. Heartbreaking stuff indianapublicmedia.org/news/…
Another step closer to this data center becoming a reality in Monrovia. I’ll have a feature on this project later this week. Stay tuned! @WFIUWTIUNews indianapublicmedia.org/news/…

Lawyers for @IndianaUniv are seeking to mislead a federal court about who can be punished under IU's new speech policy. Compare their assertions in a brief filed this week with the actual policy: IU plainly claims authority to take "immediate action" against *anyone*.
