California should not dictate how Hoosier pork producers operate, plain and simple.

Prop 12 undermines producers' ability to care for their animals, ultimately harming the affordability of meat in our grocery stores.

Protect producers, tell the Senate to pass the 2026 Farm Bill!

Since then, NASA has made countless missions, even putting man on the Moon through the Apollo program. Now, the NASA Artemis program has taken humans farther into space than ever before. After all of these immense achievements, we're still not finished.

American ingenuity and drive are second to none.

Today, we honor those who fought in the Korean War. To fight for the cause of freedom is both a great honor and an immense responsibility. As a combat-wounded veteran, I know firsthand the cost borne by all who have seen battle.

So, to these veterans and all who have fought for freedom, thank you.

To quote Hoosier journalist and veteran Elmer Davis, “This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.”
