Taxpayers paid $26,000 for dozens of billboard across Michigan promoting work of the Genesee County Sheriff's Department. The billboards show Sheriff Chris Swanson. This report questions whether the billboard spend was appropriate given Swanson is running for Michigan Governor. What's your take?

Tariffs could hit the highest rate since the 1890's.
It's worth noting the 1890's were our economic golden age. Before the income tax, before the Fed, and before the Deep State they bought.

These folks want to subject the majority to just being cogs in the machine. Work no matter what age you are until you fall dead. Access to quality public education? No. Access to quality healthcare? No. Food? Hell no. Forced birth. Forced labor. No opportunity for anything else.

Absolutely heartless. Rich McCormick defends Trump's cruel grant freeze which targets millions of kids who depend on free school meals. #GApol "You're telling me that kids who stay at home, instead of going to work at Burger King and McDonald's during the summer, should stay at home and get their free lunch instead of going to work?"

A little past midnight last night, Michigan's House passed sweeping energy legislation. While we want to celebrate the progress in these bills, we need to recognize that they have flaws and were passed over the objection of environmental justice groups. Buckle up for🧵. #mileg

That happened in Flint, and no one has been charged. That water could be commodified. And people can be punished for not having running water." Nayyirah Shariff of @FlintRising for the Black Hive.
