Our CEO Jeff Donofrio recently joined Michigan Matters to look at the state of our economy and the road ahead. We need a shared, nonpartisan agenda that outlasts election cycles and prioritizes our residents’ prosperity. Listen to the full conversation: youtu.be/eNprPAsYymo?si…

Michigan Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist’s campaign for governor announces it has received the endorsement of U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar. Here a portion of the press release:

New: Indiana Republicans have withstood immense pressure from President Donald Trump — and ignored threats on their lives — to defeat his plan to redraw the state’s congressional map, dealing him one of his most significant political setbacks since his return to the White House. politico.com/news/2025/12/1…

Last night, the FBI's Counterterrorism Division appeared to open an inquiry into me in response to a video President Trump did not like. The President directing the FBI to target us is exactly why we made this video in the first place. He believes in weaponizing the federal government against his perceived enemies and does not believe laws apply to him or his Cabinet. He uses legal harassment as an intimidation tactic to scare people out of speaking up. This isn’t just about a video. This is not the America I know, and I’m not going to let this next step from the FBI stop me from speaking up for my country and our Constitution.

I served as our Ambassador in Ukraine for 3 years under Putin’s missiles and drones but resigned when Trump kept appeasing Putin. America does not bow to dictators. It’s not who we are. Here's why this Trump-Putin so-called "peace plan" is a disaster:

For those keeping track, that means that all earmark requests will need to be made public around May 17 to adhere to this new law and the equally enforceable law requiring the budget to be done by July 1.

Tate allies have blamed inaction on #FOIA expansion on lawmakers boycotting session. But Tate didn’t refer the bills to the Ethics Committee, which wanted to hold hearings + there were 170 days between when the bills arrived in the House and the start of the boycotts.

Seems like a good time to re up this. @ZachGorchow

It’s time for my lame duck reminder to lawmakers: “Every penny paid at the pump should go to roads.” It’s catchy, but it comes at a cost of nearly a billion dollars to Michigan schools.

Good news for the MI Supreme Court.

Pete Buttigieg & 7th Congressional candidate Curtis Hertel greet each other at canvass launch in East Lansing. ‘Sorry about your Spartans,’ Buttigieg said. 🤣 Kamala Harris will campaign at MSU later. Buttigieg also going to Battle Creek, Jackson today & Downriver tomorrow.

John McCain and I didn’t always agree, but he understood that some values transcended parties. He knew that if we got in the habit of bending the truth to suit political expediency or party orthodoxy, our democracy will not work. John McCain had character. That’s what I think about so much these days because it’s so different from what we see out of the Republican nominee.

Vice President Harris calls out Fox host for trying to whitewash Trump’s extremism 🔥

Reminder to visitors today, Ottawa and Allegan are now two way streets. Look BOTH ways. cc: @MIRSnews & @GongwerMichigan

@ZachGorchow Same

Rite Aid abandons Michigan but can’t quit spamming everyone’s phones. Buh bye.

Without the IRA and that investment, the Lansing Grand River Assembly Plant would likely have gone the way of Fisher Body. We put the world on wheels–and thanks to the IRA, we're leading the charge in making those cars cleaner, more efficient, and more accessible for everyone.

Someone check on @ZachGorchow. This storm took me completely by surprise.

Dropping by @QualityDairy tomorrow for one of their famous “whatever makes sense” premade boxes of donuts. Anyone need chip dip?

@MarkBrewerDems @DQWorthams It’s Treasurer Eubanks, assuming she’s not also there.

@DQWorthams He’s in Chicago, too.

If Michigan’s top 4 elected executive officials are in Chicago who’s the acting governor?
