ICE or federal officials trying to take into custody and remove any child from any school for any reason.

the attorney general for always sticking his nose into business where it doesn’t belong.

the masked ICE agents who are tough guys when rounding up women and children, but make a federal case out of someone tossing a sandwich at them.

people driving without a license or insurance, making everyone else’s insurance rates go up.

the Indiana GOP for rejecting an effort to direct state surplus funding to low-income Hoosiers and food banks as federal SNAP benefits expire.

the elected leader that has squandered the good economy that he inherited, losing 1 million jobs in 10 months, which is the biggest job loss since 2009.

the House of Representatives leader having the House in session take weeks of vacation while federal workers are working and not being paid.

the “not for profit” hospital for sacrificing patient care, increasing doctor burnout and stress just to make more money.
