After the deadly insurrection, Indiana representatives Jim Banks, Jackie Walorski Jim Baird and Greg Pence voted against the certification of Electoral college votes. There were no legitimate cases of “irregularities” or widespread voter fraud as they suggested.
Wow. Insisting he’s fighting “misinformation,”Indiana AG Todd Rokita is actively spreading it. He insists that vaccines don’t work and that masks don’t slow the spread. Both notions are false and not grounded in science. This is his press release today:
After three and a half years back in Fort Wayne, my time at 21Alive is coming to an end. My last newscast is tomorrow (Friday) at 7 PM.
It was my dream at anchor the news on 21Alive, and to get to do that alongside my husband was truly a gift.
Some of the dust has settled, and I’ve had time to collect my thoughts.
Before I say anything else, I need to thank you—those of you responsible for the thousands of comments, posts and messages.
Brien’s sudden departure from the station was a surprise to all of us.

During our conversation about his Senate bid, Banks deflected questions about election denialism and his stance on “wokeism.” We pressed him on it. Our full interview airs at 7 on

Last full week of dad leave begins. Fortunate to step away from the office for a little while to get acquainted with this little girl. See you all soon.

I’ve stopped giving oxygen to most of these outlandish press releases, but this one is different. More than a million Americans have died of COVID. Science tells us more lives could have been saved if more people were vaccinated and wore masks.
It’s been 6 months since the Taliban swept to power in Afghanistan.
Please watch our film on how things are going. We poured a lot into this, and even tho I’ve watched it through 100 times, I still cry.
Remember, Rokita suggested the Indiana Dept. of Health was part of a vast conspiracy to publish inaccurate

numbers and said he didn’t trust the state’s top health officials.

But many people saw anti-science, anti-vaccine messages that had no grounding in truth. They fell victim to two pathogens: COVID-19 and misinformation perpetrated by the very people who are supposed to be trustworthy leaders.

We planted some wildflowers and allow clover to grow in areas of the yard. This helps the bees out in mid summer when fewer plants are blooming.

family! Alana is back after the holidays, bringing snow with her. Sarah is filling in for Emily and egging on Dana who is dishing on the Real Housewives like it’s play-by-play. And I have no idea what any of it means.
A very happy first birthday to Millie! She spent the morning exactly where she was a year ago - in the hospital. With an ear infection. (And a tasty hat)
One of the many reasons I love working with Gabe is that he’s always willing to pitch in, even if it means working 16-hour days. Thanks for the fantastic coverage today,
