@FreemanForIndy Work needs to be put into separating the production capacity from the distribution infrastructure and finding ways to multipath the distribution. What the utility industry needs is more competition, which is difficult because of the infrastructure and right of way requirements

Indiana ratepayers deserve a locally (non-municipality) owned energy company. My statement is below. indianasenaterepublicans.com/statement-from…

calming down bro who fomo bought into Silver at $120 this year and now it’s $68

@Indy_reporter_ Didn't a couple of Eastern European or Russian ladies get popped for running a prostitution ring in Carmel a decade or more ago? And then I think there was them massage place at Rangeline and 126th?

yoooooo Noblesville now getting prostitutes? Marion County bleeding over to HamCo is the funniest thing to watch in real time. bustednewspaper.com/indiana/bian-j…

New York Gov Kathy Hochul: 2022: [to Republicans] "jump on a bus and head down to Florida, you don't represent our values, you are not New Yorkers." 2026: "maybe the first step is to go down to Palm Beach and see who you can bring back home, our tax base has been eroded." 🤣

New York Gov Kathy Hochul is begging wealthy people who have moved to Florida and Texas to come back to New York and pay taxes. 🤣 "I need people who are high net worth to support the generous social programs that we want to have in our state. Now, there are some patriotic millionaires who stepped up. OK, cut me the checks if you want to be supportive, but maybe the first step should be go down to Palm Beach and see who you can bring back home." "I have to look at the fact that we are in competition with other states who have less of a tax burden on their corporations and their individuals. And I would say remote work changed everything." "There were people who could only work in an office in Manhattan and work in New York state. And they were captives to our state, they were going to stay. We saw that that's not the case. Wall Street businesses looking at Texas, they're not going there because they have a nicer governor. They're going there because of the tax rate."

Afroman is the hero we all need right now.

Could it be happening? Did the government just register alien related domain names? @TuttleCapital continues to have maybe nailed the timing to have recently launched #UFOD. youtu.be/KOCUGPMlxJA

@Indy_reporter_ @IndyGOP well... a few days later.

This is embarrassing. Alleged fixed potholes already destroyed after the rain. Southside. Flintstone drive and marble lane. This is @IndyGOP Mike Dilk's District. What did he do with the $1million that he was allowed to spend? Rumor is that Mike Dilk will have a primary challenger next year.

Error indeed lest we forget the avg $360 tax refund boost has been more than offset by higher gas prices? “A 25bp cut wouldn’t have been an inflation surrender. It would have been a recognition that the bigger risk is being late to the slowdown, not early to the inflation fight”

@DrunkRepub @RobMKendall I have felt this to be true since the George W bush days at least.

@mariormp @LynAldenContact @cvpayne As brilliant as Lyn is or other frequents guests of Charles, like Danielle DiMartino-Booth, more like Jeopardy.

@LynAldenContact @cvpayne is this the equivalent of making it to the price is right or wheel of fortune for analysts?

I hopped on Fox Business in their NYC studio today. Talking private credit, software, and other topics. Great to meet @cvpayne in person after so many virtual interviews over the years!

What do you have to say about this?

Bill Maher drops a reality bomb on Zohram Mamdani voters with a brutal history lesson on socialism. “We’ve run this experiment many times, and the results are always obvious,” Maher said. He looked straight into the camera and delivered a blunt warning about Mamdani. “Democrats must recognize that Zohran Mamdani is the future of the party. Unfortunately, it’s the Republican Party.” “Here’s capitalist South Korea at night from space,” Maher presented, showing a country lit up and thriving. “Here’s socialist North Korea,” he followed, with the map pitch dark. “Yeah. In 1990, Venezuela was wealthier than Poland. But then Poland, finally free of Soviet style economics, went all in on capitalism and now their economy is as big as Japan and people there have high wages, low inflation, cars, vacations, homes.” “Meanwhile, Venezuela traded capitalism for Hugo Chavez’s socialism for the 21st century, which turned out to be like socialism in the last century or any century, a f*cking mess.” “It turned one of Latin America’s richest countries into one of its poorest. Low wages, high inflation, shortages, outages, 8 million people fleeing. If you think New York can somehow reinvent this wheel, you’re in for a rude awokening.”

NEVADA SHERIFF FACES CONTEMPT FOR REFUSING TO RELEASE VIOLENT CAREER CRIMINAL Joshua Sanchez-Lopez is a convicted felon with 35 prior arrests Judge Eric Goodman ordered him relased with an ankle monitor But Sheriff Kevin McMahill says he is NOT releasing Sanchez because he’s too dangerous. The Dept is now under threat of being sanctioned for contempt. Kudos to this sheriff! 👏

@Indy_reporter_ @IndyGOP I'm at a point where I would like to see an FBI or state AG investigation into what is going on with the road money in the city of Indianapolis, if there are friendly insider contractor deals, or whatever else. It is beyond incompetence at this point.

Statement from @DanielElliottIN: BlackRock wants Indiana's power grid. Here's why I object. BlackRock, along with EQT, the Qatar Investment Authority and CalPERS, have announced a $33 billion deal to acquire AES Corp., the parent company of AES Indiana. I am extremely concerned by the news that more than 500,000 Hoosiers in Marion, Hendricks, Morgan, Boone, Hamilton, Putnam, Johnson, Shelby and Hancock counties will now be served by a consortium that has fundamental conflicts with Hoosier values. Every one of these entities is concerning, and together this combined consortium is very troubling. This consortium will jointly own the power grid that central Indiana families depend on every single day. Hoosiers deserve to know who is asking for their trust — and what that trust is worth. BlackRock isn't here for our sugar cream pies. They're here because Indiana's grid is a once-in-a-generation infrastructure asset, and they want to own it. In 2024, my office investigated and placed BlackRock on a watch list. Upon my recommendation as state treasurer, the INPRS board voted unanimously to remove BlackRock as a major asset manager for Indiana's public pensions. We are now faced with a consortium that not only includes BlackRock but also CalPERS, an agency funded below the national average and facing a congressional probe for losing more than $300 million in pension funds due to mismanagement and poor leadership; the Qatar Investment Authority; and a European private equity firm with no real interest in the lives of everyday Hoosiers. When it comes to Wall Street proxy fights, corporations can argue it out in boardrooms. But when the asset at issue is Indiana's power grid, the stakes are different — and the people paying the bill don't get a vote. Gov. Mike Braun, the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission, the Indiana General Assembly and leaders from both parties have stated that affordability is a key policy priority and that lowering costs for Hoosiers should be a primary concern for state government. Hoosier leaders have shown their willingness to tackle affordability and security. A few years ago, when another private equity firm, Blackstone, purchased a stake in NiSource subsidiary NIPSCO — the utility that provides energy to northwest Indiana — customers soon found themselves facing a significant rate hike. Will this consortium do the same? Will it prioritize a European ESG framework over grid reliability? Will it use Indiana's infrastructure to advance an agenda that Hoosier ratepayers never voted for and cannot afford? These are not hypothetical questions. They are the logical extension of a track record BlackRock has already established — in Indiana. As Indiana's state treasurer, I manage more than $16 billion on behalf of Hoosier taxpayers and retirees. I know what it looks like when a financial institution prioritizes its own agenda over the people it's supposed to serve. I think of the family in Indianapolis watching their electric bill creep up every month. I think of the farmer in Hendricks County who cannot afford to have his power bill become a political statement. I think of the small-business owner in Avon who cannot pass a rate increase on to her customers. These Hoosiers don't have a lobbyist in Washington. They don't have a seat at the table when a $33 billion deal gets signed. Indiana has always welcomed investment — and so do I. Railroads, ports, highways, airfields and fiber — we have bet on every generation of infrastructure because we understood what it could do for our people. But welcoming investment has never meant surrendering accountability. It has always meant holding every investor to the same standard: Prove you are here for Indiana. The burden of proof is on them. Hoosiers are watching. Until then, I cannot support this deal. @93wibc
