to her, even though she hasn't made it official yet.

Crockett would need to file by Monday to join the
crowded Democratic primary field it's already including Colin Alred and
James Tallerico. She scheduled a special announcement for Monday, fueling
speculation that's her decision is eminent. Number two Indiana Congressman
Andre Carson sharply criticized the proposed redistricting plan released by

(00:46):
Indiana House Republicans, calling the map absolutely ridiculous and warning
it would dramatically reshape Indiana's seventh congressional district his district.
The congressman also warned the proposal, advanced alongside legislation, would
likely trigger multiple lawsuits if approved, especially after lawmakers openly
acknowledged it was designed to give Republicans an electoral advantage.

of hundreds of gallons of fat free milk sold in

the Good News File. The barn in Mississippi where Emmet
Till was tortured and murdered will be transformed into a

according to an announcement reported by the Associated Press, the
center plans to open the memorial ahead of the seventy
fifth anniversary of Till's lynching in two thousand and thirty
describing it as a space for truth, reflection and civic
