My office is being Censored. I am not being allowed to call the Iran War a war Donald Trump calls it a war. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth calls it a war. open.substack.com/pub/distills...

Matt Hall’s House Office Is Now Policing the Word “War”
As Trump and Hegseth use the same word publicly, Michigan’s House Business Office told a state representative to replace “war” with “conflict.”

We do not want another war! Congress needs to take back their power and stop Trump's war.

No War with Iran. There is always endless funding for wars and corporations, but never for the American people. It is immoral to profit off of war, and should be illegal.

Even though corporate bosses try to convince us otherwise, it is the labor of working class people that creates all profits. The Sit-Down Strike serves as a reminder that withholding labor is our most powerful tool.

The moment our Resolution was formally read into the Michigan House. For more than two years, the world has watched a livestreamed genocide.What makes that possible is American-supplied weapons. Michigan taxpayers have contributed over $420 million to the genocide since 2023.

$40 Billion to one company. $6.24 Billion in state tax breaks. $18 Billion in local tax breaks. $16 Billion in federal tax breaks. With the State portion alone we could buy the Detroit Lions.

We don't have enough money for clean water, fully funded schools, or drivable roads. Yet Michigan’s economic development office offered more than $6 BILLION in corporate handouts to ONE single company, and yet Sandisk still didn't come.

Duggan does not have our interests at heart. Just look to his donors. “A Metro Times analysis of Duggan’s fundraising shows a sizable share comes from donors of President Donald Trump, GOP party leaders, and conservative power brokers with vested interests in state policy.”

Federal Republicans just gave one of the largest tax cuts to the rich in US History. Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer and the MEDC offered over $6 BILLION to a single corporation. This is Oligarchy.

This bill could have massive implications on what we in the Michigan House need to do in order to fill the funding gaps created by these Trump-backed tax cuts. If this legislation passes, it would also serve as one of the biggest handouts to the wealthy in US History. (2/2)

The question everyone needs to be asking themselves is: Should presidents alone have the power to enter us into war? The answer is no. Trump just took an illegal action. It cannot stand.
