INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — After a wet Friday, we’ll transition into a nice weekend with the return of sunshine. Thanksgiving week will then feature more rain chances and our next shot for cooler air.

Friday night: Scattered to widespread rain persists into tonight. Lows in the low 40s.

Saturday: After several days in a row of thick cloud cover, we will get to embrace the return of sunshine. A few lingering showers before daybreak will give rise to clearing skies into the daytime hours. Highs will get into the low 50s.

Sunday: Even nicer weather is ahead for Sunday with plenty of sunshine and highs that will push into the mid to upper 50s.

7-Day Forecast: We look to sneak to around 60 by next Tuesday, but this comes with another rain chance. More showers are possible Monday night into Tuesday. Then, all eyes turn towards the all-important Thanksgiving Day forecast. We can say that there will be a cooler pattern taking shape near and after Thanksgiving, but uncertainty remains with any precipitation chance details into late next week and weekend.

We’ll have to watch how Tuesday’s upper level disturbance and a disturbance from Canada interact with each other. A faster phasing of these systems will equal an even colder Thanksgiving, and a slower (more eastward) phasing means it won’t get as cold (still cooler nonetheless). Right now, our Thanksgiving forecast is leaning towards highs in the upper 30s with temps starting Thursday off in the upper 20s.

MUNCIE, Ind. (WISH) — Visitation services for Corporal Blake Reynolds, the Delaware County deputy who died after getting hit by a truck on I-65, took place Friday afternoon.

The service was held at Grace Baptist Church in Muncie, Indiana. Hundreds of law enforcement officials paid their respects.

Inside the sanctuary, the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office, as well as other agencies, paid their respects to Reynolds. Chief Deputy Jeff Stanley carried the folded flag down the isle to place near the casket, and Sheriff Tony Skinner made remarks at the ceremony.

Law enforcement were inside the church for about 15 minutes. A deputy will stay by Blake’s casket until the funeral.

Lt. John Branson, of the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office, believes this may be the first death in the line of duty at the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office.

Branson said Blake is one of the best people he’s ever worked with, and he appreciates all of the support.

“In times of trouble with law enforcement, when you lose an officer, all agencies typically come together and support the agencies that’s suffering,” Branson said. “So, it’s been overwhelming.”

Reynolds’ funeral is being held at 10 a.m. Saturday at Delta High School in Muncie.

(CNN) — Georgia GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene announced Friday she will be resigning from office in January.

“I will be resigning from office with my last day being January 5, 2026,” Greene said in a statement.

She made the announcement in a post on social media just days after her public falling out with President Donald Trump. The president had rescinded his support for his one-time staunch ally and said he’d support a primary challenge against her.

“I have too much self respect and dignity, love my family way too much, and do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President we all fought for, only to fight and win my election while Republicans will likely lose the midterms,” Greene said in the statement.

Greene had been contemplating her resignation for over a week, according to a person close to her, as the threats against her continued to escalate amid her falling out with Trump.

She currently has no plans to run for any office, the person added.

In recent weeks, Greene criticized the president for being too focused on foreign policy and not doing enough with his domestic agenda at home. The two also disagreed on the release of the Justice Department’s Jeffrey Epstein files, which Trump ultimately signed into law after strong resistance.

CNN has reached out to the White House for comment.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court is meeting in private Friday with a key issue on its agenda — President Donald Trump ’s birthright citizenship order declaring that children born to parents who are in the United States illegally or temporarily are not American citizens.

The justices could say as soon as Monday whether they will hear Trump’s appeal of lower court rulings that have uniformly struck down the citizenship restrictions. They have not taken effect anywhere in the United States.

If the court steps in now, the case would be argued in the spring, with a definitive ruling expected by early summer.

The birthright citizenship order, which Trump signed on the first day of his second term in the White House, is part of his administration’s broad immigration crackdown. Other actions include immigration enforcement surges in several cities and the first peacetime invocation of the 18th century Alien Enemies Act.

The administration is facing multiple court challenges, and the high court has sent mixed signals in emergency orders it has issued. The justices effectively stopped the use of the Alien Enemies Act to rapidly deport alleged Venezuelan gang members without court hearings, while they allowed the resumption of sweeping immigration stops in the Los Angeles area after a lower court blocked the practice of stopping people solely based on their race, language, job or location.

The justices also are weighing the administration’s emergency appeal to be allowed to deploy National Guard troops in the Chicago area for immigration enforcement actions. A lower court has indefinitely prevented the deployment.

Birthright citizenship is the first Trump immigration-related policy to reach the court for a final ruling. Trump’s order would upend more than 125 years of understanding that the Constitution’s 14th Amendment confers citizenship on everyone born on American soil, with narrow exceptions for the children of foreign diplomats and those born to a foreign occupying force.

In a series of decisions, lower courts have struck down the executive order as unconstitutional, or likely so, even after a Supreme Court ruling in late June that limited judges’ use of nationwide injunctions.

While the Supreme Court curbed the use of nationwide injunctions, it did not rule out other court orders that could have nationwide effects, including in class-action lawsuits and those brought by states. The justices did not decide at that time whether the underlying citizenship order is constitutional.

But every lower court that has looked at the issue has concluded that Trump’s order violates or most likely violates the 14th Amendment, which was intended to ensure that Black people, including former slaves, had citizenship.

The administration is appealing two cases.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit in San Francisco ruled in July that a group of states that sued over the order needed a nationwide injunction to prevent the problems that would be caused by birthright citizenship being in effect in some states and not others.

Also in July, a federal judge in New Hampshire blocked the citizenship order in a class-action lawsuit including all children who would be affected.

The American Civil Liberties Union, leading the legal team in the New Hampshire case, urged the court to reject the appeal because the administration’s “arguments are so flimsy,” ACLU lawyer Cody Wofsy said. “But if the court decides to hear the case, we’re more than ready to take Trump on and win.”

Birthright citizenship automatically makes anyone born in the United States an American citizen, including children born to mothers who are in the country illegally, under long-standing rules. The right was enshrined soon after the Civil War in the first sentence of the 14th Amendment.

The administration has asserted that children of noncitizens are not “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States and therefore not entitled to citizenship.

“The lower court’s decisions invalidated a policy of prime importance to the president and his administration in a manner that undermines our border security,” Solicitor General D. John Sauer wrote in urging the high court’s review. “Those decisions confer, without lawful justification, the privilege of American citizenship on hundreds of thousands of unqualified people.”

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Two members of Indiana’s best political team on Friday said threats, such as those directed at state lawmakers and the governor over the past few days, always carry the risk of actual violence.

As of Friday afternoon, seven Republican state senators have been the targets of swatting calls, bomb threats, and other threats. In addition, Gov. Mike Braun said via X he and his family have been threatened in recent days. Those threats come amid the ongoing fight over whether to redraw Indiana’s Congressional maps ahead of next year’s midterm elections. State lawmakers convened on Tuesday for their annual Organization Day and adjourned until Jan. 5, ending, for now, any chance of a redistricting session, though House Speaker Todd Huston has told members of his chamber to keep their December calendars open.

Dana Black, former deputy chair of engagement for the Indiana Democratic Party, said she considers the recent threats a form of terrorism. She pointed to social media posts by President Donald Trump, among others, targeting Sen. Greg Goode, R-Terre Haute, and Senate President pro tempore Rod Bray, R-Martinsville. Goode is publicly undecided, while Bray has said he opposes mid-cycle redistricting.

“It’s unfortunate when you put out tweets and you put out social media messages about, ‘We need to target these particular senators because they don’t agree with us,’” Black said. “You don’t know who they’re speaking to. You’re speaking to people who may not have it all together, and they take that as a call to action”

Republican strategist Ali Bartlett said threats should always be taken seriously because there is a chance they could lead to actual violence.

“Obviously, we haven’t gotten any sort of message or indicator about what is causing them,” Bartlett said. “But, you know, this is a contentious issue. It is something that is getting national attention at this point.”

Bartlett said despite the legislature’s adjournment, she does not believe the fight over redistricting is over. She said there’s still a chance lawmakers could bring it back. In addition, she said any maps would have to withstand judicial scrutiny.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — The Trump administration has sued California for providing in-state college tuition, scholarships, and state-funded financial aid to students who aren’t legally in the United States.

The lawsuit, filed Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California, alleges the practice harms U.S. citizens and encourages illegal immigration. Among the defendants are the state, top state officials, and the state’s two public university systems, the University of California and California State.

President Donald Trump’s administration has filed similar lawsuits against policies in other states, including Illinois, Oklahoma, Minnesota, Kentucky and Texas. Half the country now has similar laws to California’s.

In June, after the administration sued, Texas ended its decades-old law. And Florida last year scrapped its law that allowed in-state tuition for high school graduates who weren’t in the country legally.

Supporters of the state tuition breaks argue that they don’t violate federal law if they provide the same rates to U.S. citizens in the same circumstances — meaning they are residents of the state and graduates of one of its high schools. The California Dream Act also allows such students to apply for state-funded financial aid.

Many of the students were brought to the U.S. by their parents when they were children, and supporters of the laws say they are as much a part of their communities as U.S. citizens.

It is the latest action by Trump’s administration since he issued executive orders in February directing federal agencies to stop public benefits from going to immigrants living in the U.S. illegally and to challenge state and local policies seen as favoring those immigrants over some citizens. The lawsuit argues that the Republican president’s orders enforce federal immigration laws.

“California is illegally discriminating against American students and families by offering exclusive tuition benefits for non-citizens,” Attorney General Pamela Bondi said in a statement. “This marks our third lawsuit against California in one week — we will continue bringing litigation against California until the state ceases its flagrant disregard for federal law.”

The Justice Department also recently sued to block new congressional district boundaries approved by California voters, and over California’s new laws banning federal agents from wearing masks and requiring them to have identification while conducting operations in the state.

Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office said in a statement: “The DOJ has now filed three meritless, politically motivated lawsuits against California in a single week. Good luck, Trump. We’ll see you in court.”

The University of California defended its decades-old in-state tuition policy.

“While we will, of course, comply with the law as determined by the courts, we believe our policies and practices are consistent with current legal standards,” it said in a statement.

The lawsuit comes weeks after the California Supreme Court let stand a lower-court ruling that the University of California’s policy barring students without legal status in the U.S. from campus jobs is discriminatory and must be reconsidered.

University system officials had warned that the decision would put them in a precarious position as they negotiate with the Trump administration after the withdrawal of federal research funds.

The UC is dealing with federal grant suspensions and a White House demand that it pay a $1 billion fine over allegations including antisemitism and the illegal consideration of race in admitting students to its Los Angeles campus.

The California State University system is the nation’s largest and among its most diverse, with more than 460,000 students. More than a quarter of undergraduates are first-generation college students, according to the university system.

The University of California serves about 300,000 students.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Two men have been sentenced to a combined 57 years in federal prison for their roles in a string of 11 armed robberies across Marion County.

Donta Allen, 28, of Indianapolis, pleaded guilty to 11 counts of interference with commerce by robbery and four counts of brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence. In June, Allen was sentenced to 38 years in federal prison, followed by three years of restitution, and ordered to pay $12,790.91 in restitution.

Lance McGee, 33, of Indianapolis, pleaded guilty to 11 counts of interference with commerce by robbery and two counts of brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence. McGee was sentenced to 19.5 years in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release, and ordered to pay $12,790.91 in restitution.

According to court documents, from March 25, 2022 through April 8, 2022, Allen and McGee conspired to rob at least 11 different stores in Indianapolis and Speedway, Indiana. While wearing a ski mask and concealing his tattoos with makeup, Allen entered each store, pointed a firearm at the cashier, and demanded cash. McGee acted as the getaway driver in a Chevrolet Malibu and received a share of the stolen proceeds.

The firearm used in the robberies (Smith & Wesson 9mm pistol) was stolen by McGee from a client while working for a moving company.

The robberies occurred on the following dates and at the following locations:

• March 25, 2022 – Disc Replay; 8210 Rockville Rd., Indianapolis.
• March 25, 2022 – GameStop; 5816 Crawfordsville Rd., Speedway.
• March 27, 2022 – GameStop; 3269 W. 86th St., Indianapolis.
• March 27, 2022 – AutoZone; 4606 E. County Line Rd., Indianapolis.
• April 2, 2022 – GameStop; 4525 Lafayette Rd., Indianapolis.
• April 2, 2022 – AutoZone; 7455 Michigan Rd., Indianapolis.
• April 3, 2022 – Disc Replay; 9739 E. Washington St., Indianapolis.
• April 5, 2022 – Disc Replay; 7317 US 31 S., Indianapolis.
• April 5, 2022- AutoZone; 8525 Southeastern Ave., Indianapolis.
• April 5, 2022- AutoZone; 6055 E. 82nd St., Indianapolis.
• April 8, 2022 – GameStop; 6905 S. Emerson Ave., Indianapolis.

At the time of the robberies, both men had prior felony convictions that prohibited them from legally possessing firearms. McGee had previously been convicted of felony possession of a narcotic drug and aggravated possession of drugs. Allen had prior convictions for robbery, armed robbery, possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon.

“This case sends a clear message that repeat violent offenders who terrorize our communities will face the full force of federal justice,” said Tom Wheeler, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana. “Donta Allen and Lance McGee are recidivist criminals who committed a spree of armed robberies, endangering lives across Marion County. Thanks to the exceptional work of the FBI, IMPD, and the Speedway Police Department, they have received lengthy prison sentences and can no longer threaten the safety of our neighborhoods.”

“Our communities deserve to feel safe from violent criminals who think nothing of pointing a gun at innocent people,” said Timothy J. O’Malley, special agent in charge of the FBI Indianapolis Field Office. “These sentences reflect the strength of our partnerships with federal, state, and local law enforcement and send a clear message: if you use a firearm to terrorize others, you will face serious consequences.”

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A sixth Indiana senator has been targeted in a recent string of threats against lawmakers in the fallout of the Senate’s decision to delay redistricting talks to January.

The swatting calls against state lawmakers started Sunday after President Donald Trump publicly criticized the Indiana Senate and Republican senators for deciding to not meet and discuss redistricting in December. 

On Tuesday, state lawmakers met to ceremonially begin the 2026 legislative session and then adjourned until Jan. 5, prompting a furious response from Gov. Mike Braun, who said he is looking into options to compel lawmakers to show up and vote and also said he will support primary challengers to senators opposed to redrawing the maps.

In the past week,  Sens. Greg Goode, Dan Dernulc, Spencer Deery and Rick Niemeyer all have been subjected to swatting calls, while Sen. Kyle Walker said he has been subjected to threats of violence. 

Sen. Andy Zay (R – Huntington) was the most recent, the senator announcing in a statement Friday morning that his business in Huntington received a bomb threat sometime Thursday.

No injuries have been reported as a result of the threats or SWAT calls; Dernulc and Deery have said in statements that local authorities spotted the fake SWAT calls and contacted the senators to alert them of the threat.

Zay, like his Senate colleagues, condemned the attacks, stating, “This is no way to weigh in on any public issue.”

“I want to be clear: I strongly condemn these acts, which have no place in our political process,” he said. “While the intent behind these intimidation threats seems to be to instill fear in public officials, I can assure my constituents that I remain committed to serving our district, being your voice and continuing my work at the Statehouse.”

Indiana State Police on Thursday announced it had opened an investigation into the threats.

Statement from Sen. Andy Zay

Yesterday, my business in Huntington was targeted with a bomb threat, which is part of the recent troubling pattern against lawmakers in Indiana.  

It’s unfortunate that my family and I continue to be threatened for my work as a public servant and state senator. This is no way to weigh in on any public issue, even if you do not agree with my stance. My office is always open, and I encourage constituents with any concerns to reach out.   

I want to be clear: I strongly condemn these acts, which have no place in our political process. While the intent behind these intimidation threats seems to be to instill fear in public officials, I can assure my constituents that I remain committed to serving our district, being your voice and continuing my work at the Statehouse.   

I want to thank the Indiana State Police for investigating this string of violence and for their commitment to ensuring the safety of everyone involved. I also want to extend my gratitude to our local law enforcement for their professionalism and vigilance. As always, they are working tirelessly to ensure everyone’s safety, and I am grateful for their efforts in protecting our community. I am hopeful that state and local law enforcement will be able to find those responsible and hold them accountable for their actions.”

INDIANAPOLIS (REUTERS) — Eli Lilly hit $1 trillion in market value on Friday, making it the first drugmaker to enter the exclusive club dominated by tech giants and underscoring its rise as a weight-loss powerhouse.

A more than 35% rally in the company’s stock this year has largely been driven by the explosive growth of the weight-loss drug market.

Once seen as a niche category, obesity treatments are now one of the most lucrative segments in healthcare, with steadily rising demand.

Novo Nordisk had the early lead in the space, but Lilly’s drugs – Mounjaro and Zepbound – have surged in popularity and helped eclipse its rival in prescriptions.

The company’s shares were up 1.3% at a record high of $1,057.7.

Lilly now trades at one of the richest valuations in big pharma, at about 50 times its anticipated earnings over the next 12 months, according to LSEG data, reflecting investors’ belief that demand for obesity drugs will remain strong.

Shares have also far outpaced the broader U.S. equity market. Since the launch of Zepbound in late 2023, Lilly has gained more than 75%, compared with an over 50% rise in the S&P 500 over the same period.

In the latest reported quarter, Lilly posted combined revenue of more than $10.09 billion from its obesity and diabetes portfolio, accounting for more than half of its total revenue of $17.6 billion.

“They are doing so many things outside of obesity, but to suggest anything is driving share price beyond obesity at this point, I don’t know if that would be a factual statement,” said Kevin Gade, chief operating officer at Lilly shareholder Bahl and Gaynor, ahead of the milestone.

Wall Street estimates the weight-loss drug market to be worth $150 billion by 2030, with Lilly and Novo together controlling the majority of projected global sales.

Investors are now focused on Lilly’s oral obesity drug, orforglipron, which is expected to be approved early next year.

In a note last week, Citi analysts said the latest generation of GLP-1 drugs have already been a “sales phenomenon”, and orforglipron is poised to benefit from the “inroads made by its injectable predecessors.”

Lilly’s recent deal with the White House to cut prices for its weight-loss drugs, as well as planned investments to expand drug production augurs well for its growth.

Lilly is starting to resemble the “Magnificent Seven” again, said James Shin, director of Biopharma Equity Research at Deutsche Bank, referring to the tech heavyweights including Nvidia and Microsoft that have powered much of the market’s returns this year.

At one point, investors viewed it as part of that elite group but after some disappointing headlines and earnings, it slipped out of favor.

Now, however, it seems poised to rejoin that circle, possibly even as an alternative for investors, especially given recent concerns and weakness in some AI stocks, he added.

Still, analysts and investors are watching if Lilly can sustain its current growth as prices of Mounjaro and Zepbound come under pressure, and whether its scale-up plans, along with its diversified pipeline and dealmaking will offset margin pressure.
