Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

"Kimberly Meyer, the wife of Tippecanoe County Judge Steve Meyer, is now speaking out following Sunday's shooting at their residence.
The couple was shot and is believed to be in stable condition."
No disagreement or comment on that quote just wanted to put it in the comments for other people wondering if they are okay or if this is a story about death
Weird...
I googled him and a month ago he announced retiring on 1/17/26, which seems to be when he was murdered.
Might not even be connected to being a judge, or maybe someone really didn't want him off the bench?
The article says that his condition was stabilized, so he wasn't murdered.
Also, according to this article, the retirement info you have can't be right.
Meyer has been judge in Tippecanoe Superior Court 2 for 12 years. He’s in the final year of his second six-year term. Meyer, a Democrat, announced in December that he didn’t plan to run for a third term in 2026.
The election they're talking about is in 2026, which makes sense, because if his term was up in January, it would be strange for an elected official to announce his retirement in December.
Also, I obviously don't want to make any conclusions about motives, but I can't help but see the word "Democrat" in that quote from above.
But what about the dog?
