White House pressured Indiana Senate hopeful to quit in favor of Trump-backed rival

Text messages and phone calls from White House aides show repeated attempts to persuade Alexandra Wilson, a first-time Indiana state Senate candidate, to drop out so Brenda Wilson, the Trump-endorsed rival, could win the primary. Officials allegedly suggested federal appointments or other incentives, and discussions included the governor’s chief of staff and other political operatives. Alexandra Wilson said she faced pressure and defended her candidacy, while Goode and others highlighted the broader GOP fallout over redistricting. The episode occurred near the withdrawal deadline amid ongoing legal challenges to the ballot and accusations of manipulation by political insiders.

An architect's concept to cap Soldier Field with a translucent roof and build a 10-acre deck over adjacent rail lines would create an enclosed stadium and entertainment district to keep the Bears in Chicago, but the proposal involves no Bears, city, or Park District involvement and lacks funding, as Illinois and Indiana explore competing stadium plans and incentives.

Indiana native and Purdue graduate among six killed in Iraqi military plane crash

An Indiana native and Purdue University graduate, Seth R. Koval, 38, was one of six service members killed when their refueling aircraft crashed in western Iraq while supporting another aircraft. A Mooresville resident and Purdue alumnus, he served since 2006 in the Indiana National Guard before transferring to the Ohio Air National Guard in 2017, with 2,076 total flight hours (including 440 combat hours) and deployments in 2014, 2020, 2022, 2023 and this year. The crash’s cause is under investigation and not believed to be due to hostile fire; the Purdue community and state officials mourn his loss, and donations via GoFundMe were established for his family.
