The id that ate the planet

On the last day of May, the political arm of the Natural Resources Defense Council, one of America’s most influential environmentalist groups, made its first presidential endorsement ever, giving the nod to Hillary Clinton.

‘Tennessee Trey’ doesn’t represent Hoosiers

There is no record Trey Hollingsworth has ever voted in a Republican primary before, in any state. He had to sign a loyalty pledge to the party to be eligible to run in the 9th District, just like Donald Trump. Yet, his heavy spending allowed him to come out on top against several longtime Hoosiers.
