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.

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

Already voted for McMorrow? Here's how to "spoil" your absentee ballot for the Aug. 4 primary election.
Some Michigan residents may have already cast absentee voter ballots with Mallory McMorrow as their Democratic candidate. Here's how to redo that vote.

NIMBYs can't stop themselves from saying the quiet part out loud. They don't want affordable housing. They want that parking lot to stay a parking lot. They didn't want a park next to the library either 🤷🏽‍♂️ #a2council

Betsy DeVos' pyramid scheme cash isn't enough for Bill Huizenga. Last night, Bill grovelled to AIPAC, hat in hand, for help in his race. 👉🏽 They know the 4th CD is in play. 👉🏽 They know Bill is the least popular politician in Michigan. Sean Mccann has them running terrified.

No one alive today did. Both parties were incredibly racist when the KKK started. Today, as in right now, Democrats are the ones ripping apart white supremacist organizations, and the GOP are targeting groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center who are leading this fight against the KKK.

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.
