Where is our money going? Left—cart: Medicaid/SNAP cuts. Right—missile: Trump spends your tax dollars on an unauthorized war.

While working families are struggling to make ends meet, Trump is spending your taxpayer dollars on bombing civilians. His priorities are all wrong.

So much for the "President of Peace" and "Lowering prices"

Trump abandoning all the Americans in every US embassy is what Republicans called Benghazi times 100

This was the second time I made a trip up to speak about the importance and value of local planning and zoning, glad to see a board that listens to the community!

The meeting was relocated to the Ellsworth School gym to accommodate the expected crowds, I wish this many people cared about local government the rest of the time!!

Banks Township, in Northern Antrim County, has has a controversial proposal to eliminate all zoning, backed by some board members with perceived conflicts of interest. After over an hour of public comment, the ordinance failed on a 2-3 vote--so Zoning stays in place!

I gave up having a phone because it was over 90% spam calls. No, I don't want to sign up for your Medicare Advantage plan. . .

Also, for the record, this isn't a left-liberal-center thing. Ultimately if you're doing the work it doesn't matter AT ALL what your politics are. There are many good contributors from all over the spectrum. The problem is that these networks CANNOT work well if they're closed, vetted affairs.

ICE and the ICE watchers What are the limits on how federal agents can respond to supposed disruption?

Great listening to @whstancil.bsky.social on The 1A this morning! It’s empowering to hear about people resisting ICE overreach on the ground, and still using their voice to tell the world what’s happening.

If random masked men are setting fires in your community, I think you should feel free to film them. Especially if dozens of other people and several national news crews are filming them. They are not "allies," they're arsonists. Grow up.

We can confirm Alex Pretti was a nurse at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center. As President Trump has said, nobody wants to see chaos and death in American cities, and we send our condolences to the Pretti family. Such tragedies are unfortunately happening in Minnesota because of state and local officials’ refusal to cooperate with the federal government to enforce the law and deport dangerous illegal criminals.

Absolutely shameful to throw your employee under the bus when they’re murdered, but that’s what happens when you’re in the dumbest cult of personality in the history of the world

This one goes out to the family and friends of Alex Pretti - a son of the watershed. Words can not express the horror of what ICE did on Saturday. May his memory guide all in changing the US federal government to be truthful, transparent & for the people

The statue of 'city father' Perry Hannah in Traverse City, surrounded by protest signs opposing ICE and promoting compassion.

Traverse City stands in solidarity with nurses, with children, with the people of Minnesota. Over 1,500 people came out on the coldest weekend of the year in the name of Justice.
Fascist gangs have no place in America.

It’s ironic that they’re like “if we do ethnic cleansing we’ll have a high trust neighborly society” and then Minneapolis is literally doing high trust neighborly society and they’re like nooooo

This is why the City of Traverse City decided not to hire the contractor behind this for a demolition project here, despite them being the lowest bid.

It's important that work gets done right.
