Nothing says “lifelong champion of working people” quite like Mike Braun strolling onto a picket line he spent years politically undermining. After backing policies and rhetoric that have consistently weakened unions, Braun suddenly discovered solidarity—just in time for a camera-friendly visit with 800 locked-out steelworkers in Whiting. Apparently, opposing organized labor is a full-time job… except when there’s a press release to write.
Now Braun wants to play “honest broker,” scolding a massive corporation for locking out workers—as if he hasn’t spent his career cheering on the exact power imbalance that makes those lockouts possible. It’s a remarkable pivot: from anti-union crusader to temporary ally, all without changing a single underlying position. For Hoosiers keeping score, it’s not a change of heart—it’s a change of optics.
I have frequently shared my theory that the information environment we inhabit is a major cause of our current disarray–that the ability of Americans to “curate” a fact environment that conforms to our biases allows us–indeed, encourages us– to inhabit very different realities.
Welcome to Indiana Republicans’ favorite side show: Jim Banks vs. Mitch Daniels—a polite way of saying the party can’t decide if it wants khakis and cocktail hours or red hats and retribution.

Welcome to Vigo County, where the political forecast used to predict presidents—and now it’s apparently testing how much juice a Donald Trump endorsement still has left in the tank. Instead of a normal primary, Hoosiers get dueling Wilsons, felony accusations, ballot challenges, and a full-blown national money dump—all because one state senator dared to say “no thanks” to redistricting. Toss in outside groups, PAC cash, and a courtroom sideshow, and suddenly a local Senate race looks more like a reality show audition than democracy.
