White House Secures Foreign Steel for Ballroom Project

Trump is using tens of millions of dollars of "free" foreign steel for his ballroom. This is a disgrace. Refusing to use union-made U.S. steel on the White House is a slap in the face to the hardworking men & women of the American steel industry. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/08/u...

Bridget Brink for Congress Bridget Brink is a 6th generation Michigander & 3rd generation union member who resigned as U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine to speak out against the Trump Administration. Now she’s running for Congress to flip Michigan's 7th District (MI-07).

I’m no stranger to Russian dictators attacking me, or politicians shouting me down here at home. Let me be 100% clear, I see warning signs of assault on our democracy. From Minneapolis, the militarization of our streets, to Trump's corruption.

Trump's threat that "a whole civilization will die tonight" is reprehensible. Attacks on civilians & the destruction of an entire country are war crimes that go against everything our country stands for.

Congress must reassert its authority over Trump’s war of choice.

Trump puts his war of choice first and Michigan's working families last. Republicans in Washington don't have their priorities straight.

My #1 priority is clear: put mid-Michigan first no matter what. That's why I'm running to beat Tom Barrett.

Such an honor to join fellow Michiganders at three MI07 No Kings rallies today in Charlotte, Brighton, & Lansing to make clear: we will not stand by while Trump & his enablers in Congress destabilize our economy, erode our democracy, and enrich themselves.

No Kings! 🚫👑

Support Amb. Bridget Brink for Congress Join Bridget's fight to flip MI-07

I never set out to be “the quintessential Trump resister.”

But I knew I had to resign and speak out against Trump: I’ve spent my entire career fighting for what’s right and holding the powerful accountable.

That's what I'll do in Congress.

My MI public education gave me the foundation to pursue the American Dream — and every Michigan kid deserves the same. Since 2019, Chris Martin has fought for public schools as a Trustee, President & now Secretary of the E. Lansing School Board. I’m honored to have his support.

Just received from a supporter in Delta Township. $4.19 per gallon?!

This is an energy crisis of Trump's own making and Tom Barrett is doing nothing to fix it — while mid-Michiganders pay the price.

JD Vance is in MI today, calling skyrocketing gas prices "a temporary blip."

Really?

Gas is up to $4 a gallon here in Lansing — $1 more than a month ago. Trump started this energy crisis with no plan to fix it. Mid-Michigan is paying the price.

In MI, not only are we ranked 44th in reading, we're ranked 44th in starting teacher pay. We need to pay educators like the professionals they are. And we need to ensure that every kid has access to a great public education that allows them to follow their dreams and succeed.

Trump lifting sanctions on Russian oil won't ease sky rocking gas prices in Michigan and across the country. It will, however, help fund Putin's war machine in Ukraine.

As Sen. Chris Coons said this week, the only clear winner in this war with Iran is Russia.

Once again, Trump is trying to tell us not to believe our eyes: gas prices up 68.7 cents per gallon in Lansing in just a week. One minute he says the war is ending “soon,” & the next he’s escalating with no end in sight. There is no strategy & Michiganders are paying the price.

Today's active shooter situation at Temple Israel synagogue & school in West Bloomfield is horrifying. Antisemitism has no place in Michigan or our country. My thoughts are with our Jewish community.

Thankful no one was hurt & for the swift action of first responders.
