Homeland Security suspends TSA PreCheck and Global Entry airport security programs The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is suspending the TSA PreCheck and Global Entry airport security programs as a partial government shutdown continues.

They’re shutting down these programs of privilege to try and sow chaos and slight discomfort so that Democrats will cave. I’d rather get to the airport early and take off my shoes than continue to watch neighbors get pulled from their beds or shot in the streets. bit.ly/4tPPDkt

Great crowd at our East Lansing coffee hour!

Fantastic conversation about urgent issues including fixing our broken health care system to rooting out corruption. Together we’re going to beat Tom Barrett & the DC special interests backing him. Join us at BridgetBrink.com!

Trump says he is sending a hospital ship to Greenland β€” The Detroit News President Donald Trump on Saturday said he was working with Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry to send a hospital boat to Greenland, a Danish territory that Trump has said he wants to acquire.

It’s far beyond the time to 25 this guy. He’s long been unfit for office and it’s more obvious every day. β€œThe U.S. Navy has two hospital ships, the Mercy and theΒ Comfort, but neither areΒ stationedΒ in Louisiana.”

Republican leader unveils sweeping proposal for property tax cut, utility rate rollback Republicans in the Michigan House will propose a sweeping $4 billion property tax cut and a minimum $1 billion rollback in utility bills.

It’s time for serious, responsible tax policy, not reckless political games that rip billions from the state budget, destabilize classrooms, and undercut Michigan's future for short-term political gain. www.crainsdetroit.com/politics-pol...

DOJ probes 3 Mich. school districts for sex orientation, ideology instruction The federal agency also is checking whether students have proper access to single-sex bathrooms and locker rooms.

This is just another distraction technique. The Department of Justice targeting our schools is a disturbing escalation. www.detroitnews.com/story/news/e...

I was raised by an MEA school teacher & I'm a proud product of Michigan public schools. A strong public education is the gateway to opportunity & success.

With public education under attack, I will always fight like hell to support our schools, educators, and families.

The Car World Is Going Electric, Without America After $50 billion in squandered investments, will U.S. auto companies finally get seriousβ€”or just watch while China wins, asks Michael Dunne.

"There is also an awkward truth Detroit executives will only whisper: Many dealers actively sabotaged EV sales. Car dealerships make most of their money on parts and service. EVs need far less maintenanceβ€”no oil changes, no transmission repairs, no exhaust systems." www.thefp.com/p/the-car-wo...

I’ve informed City Council that final votes will not take place on Monday, February 23. This allows the incorporation of feedback. Deep Green and the City will work to address a procedural issue and to strengthen the agreements with the city.

MAGA boycotted the halftime show because they didn’t understand it and are offended by the words they couldn’t understand even if they had heard them.

Yet they have little to say about all the English in the Epstein files.

Just making sure I’m following.

I’m just a boy, standing in front of the dairy case, asking Chobani to make a smaller coffee creamer because I would like my coffee slightly sweeter, not emotionally dependent on hazelnut.

I’m not sure why, but A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is way better Game of Thrones content than anything else that’s come out in recent years.

Brave of news outlets to stop using quotation marks around the word racist when describing an unequivocally racist thing.

I’d feel bad for the athletes, but that emotion would be far outweighed by schadenfreude I’d feel if Vance gets booed on the international stage.
