Ohio’s biggest newspaper broke its own rules to endorse Amy Acton, calling Ramaswamy’s vile attack ad disqualifying. “Using childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it crosses a line Ohioans should defend, whatever their party.” thedailybeast.com/trumps-maga-...

OBAMA: The big trade war he's starting now is with that well-known evil empire: Canada. These are the people who gave us maple syrup and Martin Short.

IN A WORLD OF HOBBY LOBBYS — BE A MICHAELS 💙 Both sell basically the same products — but are run by polar opposite people. Hobby Lobby dumps its profits (aka YOUR MONEY) into as many Republican campaigns

John Grisham is awesome 👇

Remember when we had a NORMAL president who wasn't an ill-mannered, lazy, unintelligent child rapist? Damn, I miss that.

How do we make teaching a sustainable career? We need: 🎒Education budget tied to the defense budget 🎒Teacher minimum wage 🎒Strong teacher unions 🎒Investment in the paraprofessionals that a kid needs to be their best learner and so teachers can focus on teaching

my live fuel clock showing Americans now have spent $70 billion more on filling up with gasoline since March 1 (vs same period a yr ago) and $44 billion more on diesel (same dates) for a total of ~$114.2 billion spent over this time.

Fox News is now defending CNN, which is obviously the smart thing to do. Even they realize the tides always turn. They said, “Don’t ban them. Or one day, they’ll ban us.” The MAGA movement is really falling apart.

The US national average gas price was $3.82 on the day Trump posted this tweet. It is $4.47 today.

Mike Rogers refuses to talk about gas, groceries, seeing a doctor, or our broken infrastructure. Mike Rogers only wants to talk about old culture wars fought by small people with smaller ideas and no solutions to our actual problems.

"What a sad state of affairs. What a tragedy. How small-minded, narcissistic." Maria Shriver reacts to the narcissist-in-chief shutting down the Kennedy Center (and potentially demolishing it) because he can't get his name on it like a giant toddler.

There’s nothing like the sweet smell of failure in the morning.

After nearly two years of economic failure and broken promises, JD Vance’s midterm pitch these closing weeks is “give us another chance.” The American people cannot afford another round of this - and the good news is we don’t have to.

We're in a moment where the challenges we face have more to do with the ways that politicians are bought off than actually having a conversation with the broader public. If Mike Rogers had showed up, he'd say that this race is about him or me. It's not. It's about you.

My high school calculus teacher came to our event🥹 Thank you Mrs. McDonald!

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! To the Hispanic and Latino communities in Michigan, we honor you and your strength, culture, and contributions to this country.

From the never-produced Mr. Show movie HOORAY FOR AMERICA! Late ‘90s.

Today's numbers show inflation remains objectively worse than it was when Republicans took over. This is a direct result of Trump and the GOP's decisions - the Iran War, the tariffs, the corporate tax giveaways. Time for a change.

BREAKING: diesel history is about to be made. $6/gal nationally — never seen before, days away, it's now in the pipeline, unavoidable.

Unions power the economy. Unions build the middle class. Unions fight for fairness. I'm so honored to be endorsed by strong Michigan unions.

The title really says it all.

Nothing unsettling about the Vice President of the United States saying if his actions lead to "end times," no biggie. Vance: "I'm trying to focus on doing as much of God's work as possible. And if that leads to the end times, okay" They are insane.

The essential feature of our national park system is “its essential democracy … the preservation of the scenery, of the forests, of the wilderness …for the people as a whole instead of leaving the enjoyment thereof to be confined to the very rich who can control private reserves.” - T Roosevelt

Whatever you call it, you just made all the goods we buy that come across our border more expensive. Michigan, he’s asking us to pay for his vanity trade war with our money.

Check your Secretary of State’s website - they’ll have information for you. It seems like a lot of them are going to be letting you pick a ballot up in person and then mail it in after you fill it out.

BIg Beautiful Bill

People who don’t know the difference between ‘entomology’ and ‘etymology’ bug us in ways we cannot put into words.

Trump reducing military exercises with South Korea because they won’t help him with his unprovoked invasion of Iran and because of his friendship with North Korea. And the GOP members of Congress will be silent or even support the move. Vote every single one of them out of office.

Politics as usual is over.

Two months ago, tomorrow: Congratulations to all. Let the oil flow.

I don’t agree with all Abdul El-Sayed’s views, but GOP “othering” is a disgrace. He was born in US, educated at Bloomfield Hills Andover, where he captained football team; Univ of Mich; Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar; Columbia, where he earned an MD. Debate his views, not whether he’s a “real” American.

Shocking news! Just kidding. Anyone with a brain knew it was all a lie, but it's nice to have it officially confirmed

They cannot stop a movement. Not here in Michigan.

The people who falsely accused an Olympian of vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool are the same people telling you to trust them about the war with Iran

To this day, Donald Trump has not provided any evidence of election fraud in any US election.

At the start of the Civil War, there were 4 million people who were enslaved in the US. Families were separated so some members could be sold to plantations in other parts of the country, including children.

While you were over here trying to figure out how you were going to cover the rent and food—this guy was over there using $5.1 million in taxpayer money YOU paid into the system to cover these statues in 23 karat gold. Yeah, he did that.

Important statement from the New York Times

A growing outbreak of the Cyclospora parasite, which causes severe diarrhea, has sickened more than 1,200 people across the U.S. Experts say the true number is much higher. In March 2025, RFK Jr. dissolved the CDC’s Division of Parasitic Diseases and Malaria, which monitored parasitic diseases

DOGE officially ended over the weekend. One of its crowning achievements was cutting $15M from the federal government’s screwworm monitoring program. Now, the Trump administration is preparing to spend $1B to combat the screwworm outbreak. "Efficiency."

A great evening right here in Traverse City with Jocelyn Benson! I've seen up close her unwavering integrity as a leader and her focus on making sure government delivers for every Michigander.

Today is a reminder that the work of protecting our country never ends. Democracy isn’t something we inherit and then forget about. Every generation has to decide whether it will stand up for it.
