The MI GOP just robbed $645M from Michiganders. This unprecedented maneuver will hurt everyone. They took away money for firefighters, clean water, gun safety, and more. #MattHall #michiganGOP #StolenFunds #greedypoliticians #GOP #michigan #politics #protectpeople

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

The SAVE Act is not a safeguard, it’s a trick. A trojan horse of barriers to voting. Its goal is not to “SAVE” democracy, but to end it. I will not let this stand. And neither should you. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Passing SAVE Act Would Be ‘Taking a Chainsaw to Democracy’

President Trump on Ukraine, “They may make a deal, they may not make a deal. They may be Russian someday, or they may not be Russian someday." USAID being closed sends the world a clear message: If you have something we want, we'll trade that for aid. Otherwise, we don't care. aje.io/ai1dxc

This is an incredibly dangerous claim of unlimited power. VP Vance is calling for an end to the constitutional republic. The law & the Constitution restrict the power of the Executive Branch. The Judicial Branch is there to interpret the law & the Constitution. Donald must never become our king.
