Prescription drugs are about to get even more expensive. Trump is coming for Medicare Part D subsidies, which try to keep drug prices down (they're still too high.) We desperately need Medicare for All. No parts A, B, C, or D. No premiums, co-pays, deductibles. Just healthcare when you need it.

I would love for the energy spent saving one tree in Seattle to instead be directed towards saving the thousands of trees that are cut each year for our sprawling suburbs and rural estates.

My first visit to Ann Arbor was as a boy. Raised by a single mother in poverty, I found even making the trip from the south side of Jackson to be a struggle. But arriving here, I was struck by the beauty, community, and simple fact that other kids were thriving in ways I was not. 🧵 #A2Council

OMG THEY GOT JOE'S LACK OF A CHIN SO PERFECTLY. I bet I hate most everything "Faithful Conservatives for Michigan" support, but I am all for the infighting among these folks. Joe Moss is a grifter and a weasel.

Photo of a political mailer showing an image of Joe Moss, a middle aged white man in an all-black suit, sticking two $100 bills in a paper shredder.

Copy reads: "Joe Moss’s failed leadership as Chairman of the Ottawa County Commission saw millions of taxpayer dollars paid out in Ottawa County employment disputes."

Photo of the back of a political mailer showing Joe Moss, a middle aged white man wearing a grey sweater, leaning forward in a chair.

Copy reads: "As Chairman of the Ottawa County Commission, Joe Moss’s failed leadership caused the county to pay out two separate settlements totaling over $4 million in employment disputes. November 2025: Moss agreed to a $4 million settlement paid to the Administrative Health Officer to resign. December 2024: Moss agreed to pay over $100,000 to his former aide to walk away from the job. Michigan can’t afford poor financial leadership. Contact your legislator today at 517.373.0135. Tell them you support a fiscally responsible plan for Michigan."

After Mallory McMorrow suspended her Senate campaign, some Michigan voters wondered: "What if I already voted?" With Ranked Choice Voting, they wouldn't have to. They could have ranked a backup choice from the start, and their ballot would still reflect their preferences. buff.ly/OQtCKs0

Some Michigan residents may have already cast absentee voter ballots with Mallory McMorrow as their Democratic candidate. Here's how to redo that vote.

Today's VRA decision is intellectually dishonest and wrong. The conservative court basically said: Black people can vote for their preferred candidates, as long as they prefer the right candidates -- which will be Republicans. An absolutely mockery of the law and a stain on the court.

Ranked Choice Voting gives voters better representation. Where it’s used, election results often better reflect the communities they serve. That’s real representation. Thank you to all our volunteers helping bring RCV to Michigan. We deserve leaders with majority support and voices that matter.

BREAKING: The operators of the Canadian-financed Gordie Howe Bridge have announced their toll rates. And they're significantly less than the Ambassador Bridge, whose private owner has lobbied the Trump administration to block Gordie Howe from opening. www.detroitnews.com/story/busine...

detroitnews.com

Gordie Howe bridge sets toll rates. How do they compare with the Ambassador?

Fees to cross the not-yet-open Detroit River border crossing will be much cheaper than tolls for the competing Ambassador Bridge.
