I’m sorry but if we are still in stage 5 by the 2021 legislative session & I’m not allowed inside a committee hearing due to COVID-19 but I can attend an event with no capacity limit & go to restaurants & bars. I’m gonna be a very angry state political reporter.

My son Allan turned 2 today. 💙 It has been a wild week. Friday he was in the ER with what I thought was croup but ended up being COVID-19. He’s doing much better now, I am so grateful! My symptoms resemble the flu but my mom has a more serious case. Please pray for her!

It’s 2022 and I’m still out here getting 50 spam calls a day with the same three numbers of my cell phone number. Why can’t we figure this out? We can send people to space but spam callers are impossible to defeat? Do better, smart people. Do better.

If you’re a lawmaker, you should be willing to do interviews about your actions as a lawmaker. That should be a minimum requirement but some don’t feel it’s important. This isn’t for me. This is for those you represent. I understand being busy but “no comment” is unacceptable IMO.

I don’t know if an adult did this but I see adults supporting the vandalism. How are we to raise kids in a generation of adults behaving like kids? Don’t like the mural? Deal with it. Don’t deface it. “But they destroyed our city” isn’t a defense. It is an excuse to be childish.
The new Indiana Avenue #BLM mural has been defaced. It’s been one week. Every one of the characters has been splattered with grey or white paint.

My opinion, not a report:. I feel like COVID-19 has people forgetting they have control over their own safety. For example: someone informed me a mall food court wasn’t wiping down tables between each meal. That’s not good but we’re in a pandemic & you are eating in a food court?.

What happened at the Indiana Statehouse today? Did GOP lawmakers "boo" black democratic legislators as they brought up concerns of discrimination/racism regarding a bill on the floor & storm out? Yes. But I wanted to confirm more before posting. Follow this thread for my recap.

What a tough year for so many. I’m so thankful for my health, career and the little boy who calls me mommy. My heart is with those less fortunate this year. It’s good to be thankful but today I think we need empathy too.

Just finished what’s known in the TV biz as a “man on the street” interview with someone from India. I asked him why he wore his mask in downtown Indy today. He said he found it so odd America is politicizing wearing a mask. “They don’t question it in any other country,” he said.

It still amazes me-- after more than five years professionally working in television news-- that people will agree to interview on camera and then ask if this is going on TV because they don't want that. you just did an on camera interview. Did you think I recorded you for fun?.

Just confirmed neither @TimLanane or @PhilGiaQuinta (both of Indiana’s democratic legislative leaders) have heard from @GovHolcomb since the protests. So when the governor said he has been in contact with legislative leadership about how to address this, he didn’t mean them.

What is so offensive about my headline? I’m explaining why steel bars are there today when they aren’t usually. I’m a Statehouse reporter. This is my place of work & it was shut down today because the government was afraid of protests. I’m not making that up. It’s what happened.
How the hell can you post a picture of a desolate street with that headline?. Because @KaylaReporting and @FOX59 think you're stupid. Don't prove them right by falling for this ridiculous narrative.

Walking out of the statehouse late at night (Senate session just ended for the day). I called to see if my son was asleep. He’s crying. So I’m singing lullabies to him on the phone on my way out and people are looking at me like I’ve totally lost it.
