For a party that treats the word “tax” like it’s a four-letter crime, Mike Braun and Indiana Republicans have found a cute workaround: slap a toll on I-70 and pretend it’s something different. After years of refusing to fix a broken funding system, they’re now asking Hoosiers to pay again for roads they already fund—just this time in smaller, more frequent hits every time you drive across the state.

Perhaps the biggest “plus” is that the app allows users to withdraw their data from increasingly toxic social network platforms…
