Michigan House Speaker Matt Hall was met with cries of “shame” after he ripped back $645 million in already-approved funding for programs that support pregnant women, babies, kids with cancer, veterans, education, and local community projects. These weren’t bloated budgets or wasteful spending. Hall’s cuts hit a nonprofit that provides wigs to children undergoing cancer treatment and an organization that supports child survivors of sexual assault. House Speaker Matt Hall is calling this responsibility. It’s cruelty dressed up as governance. And even inside the GOP, the move is raising alarms. Rep. Jon Bumstead (R-Muskegon) said the state should stand by the promises it already made in the budget. When people yelled “shame,” they weren’t heckling — they were calling out a betrayal.

British RT journalist Steve Sweeney apparently disagrees with the @BBCNews assessment that a missile chose to “land next to him” in Lebanon on its own 🤔 — calling it a “deliberate strike” from Israel “Attacking journalists is a war crime”

Joe Kent says the last thing Charlie Kirk said to him was “stop us from getting into a war with Iran.” He then suggests that Israel may have been behind Kirk getting killed and says the National Counterterrorism unit was blocked from investigating an Israel connection by the FBI.

Michigan House Speaker Matt Hall is being mocked after claiming he won a transparency award from a group that appears not to exist. Hall unveiled the honor during Sunshine Week, the annual national push to spotlight government openness and the public’s right to know, while promoting his own HEAT transparency plan, even though he has also blocked broader transparency measures like expanding FOIA to the Legislature. As of reporting, there was no public record or online presence for the group behind the award, making the whole thing look less like an honor and more like Matt Hall handing himself a gold star. It is also a very Trumpian move: invent the praise, stage the spectacle, and hope nobody asks for receipts. Hall has also previously said he would not move FOIA bills in the House. *Some awards in this graphic have been embellished. lol

A reporter just asked JD Vance about Joe Kent’s (former director of the US National Counterterrorism Center) resignation. VANCE: “When the president of the United States makes a decision, you need to act upon that decision and because Joe Kent couldn't act upon the president's decision its a good thing he resigned"

JD Vance is now taking questions from reporters: REPORTER: “What are you and the adimstratiom doing to quell the rising gas prices and can we see and decrease in those prices anytime soon?” VANCE: “Gas prices are up, were doing everything we can so they stay lower, it’s a temporary blimp" The countries focused on green energy scams have been hurt worse than us.” 🙄

We’re live from the JD Vance pep rally in Auburn Hills today, where the banners say “Jobs Jobs Jobs” and “delivering for American workers.” That’s a hell of a message from an administration that’s already lost 100,000 manufacturing jobs. Trump’s economic chaos is killing projects, cutting jobs, and screwing over Michigan workers.

Speaking at the JD Vance event in Oakland County, Former Michigan Secretary of State and current state Sen. Ruth Johnson laughed off women’s very real concerns about the SAVE Act and the threat it poses to their right to vote, then turned around and plugged the Michigan ballot initiative that would push the same kind of voter suppression here at home. There is nothing funny about making it harder for women to vote. It is dangerous, outrageous, and voters should be furious.

Gary Peters: You called Alex Pretti 'a deranged individual that came in to cause max damage'. Could we expect those kinds of quick responses if you are confirmed as secretary? Markwayne Mullin: I shouldn't have said that. P: Would you want to apologize? M: I said I regret those statements.

wow! Rand Paul begins Markwayne Mullin's confirmation hearing by confronting him about comments Mullin made describing Paul as a "freakin' snake" and "celebrating" Paul getting assaulted "I just wonder if someone who applauds violence against their political opponents is the right person to lead an agency that has struggled to accept limits to the proper use of force"
