The MIGOP convention was a great success, and I want to congratulate Chairman Jim Runestad and thank him for his strong leadership. Now the focus shifts to the Democrat convention in April. For Secretary of State, Garlin Gilchrist would be the easiest opponent for us to beat. The public had no interest in his gubernatorial campaign, and he has even said he had no interest in ever serving as Secretary of State. Gilchrist has a dismal 4% attendance record in the legislature and has zero experience as a clerk or in administering elections. The Lansing establishment supports him simply because he does what he’s told. He frequently embellishes his resume and takes credit for accomplishments he had nothing to do with, including the GREAT DEAL I negotiated to save Medicaid funding in Michigan. I am willing to give him credit for his support of Governor Whitmer’s approach of working closely and cooperatively with me and President Trump. This sets up a great matchup for Anthony Forlini, who has won tough elections in Macomb County and brings proven experience as Clerk along with unmatched expertise in administering elections. In contrast, Gilchrist has lost every election he’s ever run in, including his bid for Detroit City Clerk, where he admitted there is widespread voter fraud in Detroit. Even though Gilchrist has lost numerous elections, maintains a 4% attendance record in the legislature, and has stated he has no interest in being Secretary of State, I must endorse him for the Democrat nomination. After all, he has accurately claimed there is widespread voter fraud in Detroit and has been very supportive of Governor Whitmer’s cooperative approach with President Trump. We can make Michigan great again IF the Democrat delegates do their part. Good luck, Garlin.

This was a rare miss from Schrier. Here’s the advice she should have given: Dear Chase, You write movingly about your mother. She showed up. She invested. She loved you in ways that were personal, attentive, and irreplaceable. You don’t speak about her as interchangeable with your father or anyone else. You speak about her as your mother—someone whose presence shaped you in a way no one else could. That matters more than you seem to realize. Because in the same letter, you position yourself as the one being denied: She wants grandchildren—but not from me. As if her hesitation is a rejection of you. But that isn’t what you’ve described. You’ve described a woman who loves her son, both as a child and as an adult, but who cannot celebrate a plan that would make her grandchild begin life without a mother. Those are not the same thing. Your mother is not withholding love from you. She is refusing to affirm what she knows would cost a child something you yourself clearly understand to be precious. You didn’t write me about your “parent” in general terms. You asked about your "mother" specifically, and then recounted glowingly how you benefited from her presence, her attention, and her affection in your life. And yet, you are asking her to bless a path that would intentionally deny that same relationship to her grandchild. This is the inconsistency at the center of your letter—one you seem unwilling to confront. You are defending, even fighting for, your relationship with your mother—while planning to create a child who will never have one. That contradiction is the central moral tension you are trying to resolve by reframing yourself as the one being hurt. But your mother is not confused about what is at stake. She understands that what you experienced as a gift—a mother’s daily, embodied, relational presence—is exactly what your child would be cut off from intentionally. You emphasize what you can offer: stability, commitment, love. Those are real goods. But your mother is focused on something different—not what you can give, but what the child will lose. And she is taking that loss seriously enough that she won’t pretend it doesn’t matter. That isn’t a rejection of you. It is a recognition that your relationship status cannot do what opposite-sex relationships can—unite a child with both of the people who made them. It is also a recognition that love, however sincere, does not erase loss. A second father does not become a mother simply because he is devoted. Some roles are not interchangeable, and some relationships cannot be replicated, no matter how much goodwill surrounds them. And here is the part you need to face directly: your sexuality does not make you the victim in this scenario. No one is depriving you of your mother. You had one. You know what that relationship is worth—so much so that you are appealing to it now, trying to preserve it, protect it, and secure its approval. And yet you are prepared to deny that same relationship to your own child—not by tragedy, but by design. Your choices make you the victimizer in this scenario. You are not the one being deprived. You are the one building deprivation into your child’s life from the start. 1/2

‘I know having two dads is different from a dad and a mom,’ writes a 30-year-old reader, ‘but I’m confident in the life I could provide for my future children.’ The problem is his mother’s resistance, writes Abigail Shrier. thefp.com/p/tough-love-m…

President Trump delivered historic tax relief for working families. We amplified it right here in Michigan with no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security. These are the real numbers: Around 300,000 MI tipped workers will save $1,500 in overall taxes Around 500,000 MI overtime workers will save $2,000 in overall taxes Around 40,000 MI seniors will save $500 in state taxes Thank you President Trump and the Republicans in Congress for leading the way!

President Trump's tax cuts are delivering: No tax on tips • No tax on overtime • No tax on Social Security. 💰 Making a HUGE difference for Americans across the country! 🇺🇸
