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.

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."

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.
