Happy Deep Dish Pizza Day to all who celebrate.

Indiana Republicans are positively beaming this week over the revocation of nearly 1,800 commercial driver’s licenses from noncitizens, patting each other on the back, firing off press releases, and racing to claim the title of “first in the nation.” Attorney General Todd Rokita rushed to X to celebrate “commonsense action,” and Rep. Jim Pressel is soaking up the applause for legislation he frames as an urgent response to dangerous roads and innocent lives lost. It’s a rousing performance. There’s just one inconvenient question these self-congratulating gentlemen seem eager to dodge: if unlicensed, unvetted noncitizens behind the wheels of eighteen-wheelers is the existential threat to Hoosiers they’re now describing, what exactly were they doing for the better part of the last two decades while their party held a supermajority in Indianapolis? Republicans have held commanding control of Indiana’s statehouse for going on twenty years, long enough to have built a highway, named it, repaved it, and named it again. During that entire stretch, the licensure loopholes Pressel now decries as an exploitation of Indiana law were sitting right there, wide open, apparently invisible to the same lawmakers who are now so urgently alarmed. It took a tragic crash and a federal arrest to inspire what is being sold as “commonsense” reform. Commonsense, perhaps, but whose sense, and why did it take this long to arrive at it? Hoosiers might be forgiven for wondering whether the outrage is less about road safety and more about political timing, given that an election cycle has a funny way of sharpening a supermajority’s eyesight... snydereport.com/?p=75643
