The MI GOP just robbed $645M from Michiganders. This unprecedented maneuver will hurt everyone. They took away money for firefighters, clean water, gun safety, and more.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Benson: GOP plan would ‘gut’ Michiganders’ voting rights ahead of next presidential election Michigan’s top elections official is sounding an alarm over Republican-led legislation that would make it harder for eligible citizens to vote.

Rep. Bryan Posthumus's proposal is all about his own apparent desire to be a loyal foot soldier for a Republican Party that demonizes immigrants.

Passing SAVE Act Would Be ‘Taking a Chainsaw to Democracy’ Read more here.

The SAVE Act is not a safeguard, it’s a trick. A trojan horse of barriers to voting. Its goal is not to “SAVE” democracy, but to end it. I will not let this stand. And neither should you.

President Trump on Ukraine, “They may make a deal, they may not make a deal. They may be Russian someday, or they may not be Russian someday." USAID being closed sends the world a clear message: If you have something we want, we'll trade that for aid. Otherwise, we don't care. aje.io/ai1dxc

Can Trump Dismantle the Department of Education? Here's what to know.

Trump is finalizing an Executive Order to dismantle the Department of Education. This is a top wish of The Heritage Foundation but not most Americans because it enables discrimination & boosts billionaires.

This is an incredibly dangerous claim of unlimited power.

VP Vance is calling for an end to the constitutional republic.

The law & the Constitution restrict the power of the Executive Branch. The Judicial Branch is there to interpret the law & the Constitution.

Donald must never become our king.
