In this time of serious cost concerns in households all across Michigan, from groceries to gasoline, from the gas bill to the electric bill, it is remarkable our utilities continue to demand, and receive, rate hikes as large as we’ve ever seen.

It is likely the MPSC will simply split the difference between the well-reasoned numbers my office proposes and the obscene demand from the utility, as they’ve done many times.

We won’t tolerate the destruction of our natural resources in any corner of the state, and no business has the right to wantonly devastate important habitats. I’m grateful the Court granted our motion, and we’ll work to ensure damages from this case reflect the harm done here by these defendants.

Iosco County marijuana farm convicted of destroying protected wetlands

Wetlands are every bit as vital to Michigan’s ecosystem as our more well-known Great Lakes, dunes, and teeming rivers and forests, and they’re rightly protected by strong state statutes. www.abc12.com/news/busines...

A marijuana farming business in Iosco County has been found guilty of destroying more than 15 acres of protected wetlands.

This new rule leaves Michigan families more exposed than ever to the swings of global oil prices and I stand firmly with my colleagues in telling NHTSA it's time to follow the Congressional mandate.

It is money appropriated by Congress for specific purposes, including programs that Michigan families depend on. We will continue to hold the Trump administration accountable each time its unlawful actions harm Michiganders.

We cannot ignore them while giving some of the country’s largest polluters a free pass. Michigan will keep fighting to protect our residents and our environment.

More pollution from coal- and gas-fired power plants will add to the heat, storms, flooding and wildfire smoke we are already seeing. These hazards already affect us in very real ways.

The threat of sexual assault by a fellow corrections officer is heinous and unacceptable; no one should be subject to sexual abuse at their place of work or anywhere else.

If you purchased certain generic medications during the covered period, I encourage you to check your eligibility and file a claim. My office is committed to putting money back into the hands of those it belongs to: the consumers.

AG Nessel urges consumers claim compensation for inflated drug prices

Consumers who paid the high price of generic drugs because companies placed profits over fairness are now entitled to compensation. This settlement holds companies accountable for conspiring to inflate drug prices. www.myupnow.com/news/michiga...

Great event last night supporting Sarah Pounds for the 54th District in the MI House! Sarah knows what it means to listen, show up, and stand up for her community. I’m proud to support her as she runs for State Representative.

0112

You know her. She may live down the street from you. She’s not trying to undermine the election. She’s making sure the results are an accurate representation of the voters in your community.

Who really administers our elections in MI? It’s your local clerk you elected or your local government appointed.

I joined Sean McCann (@mccannforcongress.bsky.social) in Holland yesterday to launch a canvass and thank some of the volunteers working hard to flip #MI04. If you’re looking for a member of Congress who will fight corruption, work to lower costs, and take on Trump, McCann is your man!

The MPSC should also reject mechanisms, like the one UPPCO proposes in this case for storm costs, because they only allow the utility to raise rates even higher outside of the usual, public rate review process.

AG Nessel files testimony to ‘slash’ UPPCO’s electric rate hike request; UPPCO says it ‘stands behind’ its filing

Electric rates for UPPCO’s residential customers are already significantly higher than the national average, and it’s essential that the MPSC consider this when examining the reasonableness of further rate hikes. www.uppermichiganssource.com/2026/09/25/a...

The AG’s office says UPPCO’s rate hike would amount to a 15.6% average rate increase for residential customers.

With this letter and guidance to agencies across the State, we hope to raise awareness of the various venues that can grant and enforce PPOs and assure full enforcement of orders issued by our state courts as well as the tribal courts.

050

We want to ensure our law enforcement officers are prepared and informed on handling all valid PPOs, and for Michigan residents everywhere to know their protective orders can be faithfully upheld by public safety officers in any jurisdiction.

Absentee ballots are out and Election Day will be here before we know it. Great to join State Rep Mai Xiong and her volunteers in Warren today!

Cold case prosecutions can be incredibly difficult to bring before a judge and jury, but in this case, prosecutors established a strong evidentiary record, and I join the Court in their confidence in this verdict.

050

I stand with my colleagues in insisting the government establish a meaningful process of oversight while allowing states to retain the ability to protect their residents. Let's not wait for the next crisis to act.

Congress needs to exercise its oversight duty and create guardrails for this technology before these powerful systems cause irreparable harm to our global infrastructure.

AI carries enormous risks that we should not ignore by allowing big tech to regulate itself. www.thealpenanews.com/news/2026/09...

I’m grateful to our team of investigators and prosecutors for bringing this case, and for their efforts to protect our institutions.

I know this significant sentence makes our communities safer, and I hope this measure of justice may help these children to heal and understand as they grow older.
