Tomorrow, on October 1, the biggest transfer of wealth from the working class to the wealthy hits a critical milestone. Many of the provisions from the Big Ugly Bill will go into effect, harming hundreds of thousands of Michiganders in order to create tax cuts for the richest people in America.

We need to get a full accounting of every dollar each media company accepted of our money stolen by Trump to run his partisan political ads on their channels. Companies who accept these ads are receiving property stolen from the American people & are a disgrace for accepting them

If you have a friend or family member that doesn't find this extremely disrespectful to all current or past members of the US armed forces, you may want to distance yourself from them, as they are obviously unhinged.

No network should broadcast a single Trump or Vance event, speech or press conference live until his ban targeting specific media companies for their coverage is lifted. At some point you have to stop limiting your response to lawsuits and go on offense to defend the First Amend.

Thoughts on the Lyndsey Clancy case? I was a criminal defense attorney and I admire the jobs her lawyers did. Not an easy case. But I wonder if the outcome would have been the same if she were Muslim or Black or Native American. White women’s privilege is profound.
