If this administration wants to bring this circus to our state, my office is prepared to protect the people’s right to vote.

Using these prosecutions and recycling debunked 2020 election conspiracy theories as justification to demand copies of the ballots of Michigan residents is a clear attempt to bully clerks and spread fear, even after Donald Trump won Michigan in 2024.

Successful convictions underline that Michigan’s safeguards work and that instances of voter fraud are rare and addressed.

Once again, President Trump is weaponizing the Justice Department in an attempt to sabotage our democratic process and turn it into his own personal agency to interfere in state elections. This request is as absurd as it is baseless.

It’s what the law requires of us, and we will follow the law, even if the federal government refuses to.

Trump demands 2024 Detroit ballots. He won't get them. | Opinion Last week, the U.S. Department of Justice asked Wayne County to hand over 'all' ballots from the 2024 election. It's not going to work.

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. We will stand with Michigan’s bipartisan, principled election officials to protect the integrity of our elections and the privacy of our voters.

Our state can and must do more to put ratepayers' needs above corporate profits. Every day we spend prevaricating is another day Michigan residents are forced to pay, literally, for our state’s inaction.

Michigan is facing an energy affordability crisis, and utility monopoly profits are higher than ever.

“Things would be so much less expensive right now if we had made those advancements.” — @dananessel.bsky.social

Instead, fossil fuel companies delayed clean energy—and MI families are paying the price.

Trump's latest election order is unlawful and based on debunked conspiracy theories.

Our Constitution is clear: the President doesn't run elections.

A senseless act of violence tragically stole his future, and we remain committed to ensuring that those who commit such heinous acts are held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.

Man bound over in deadly shooting outside Southwest Detroit apartment complex A Detroit man charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of a 28-year-old Westland man has been bound over, officials said.

I am relieved that this case will now move forward to trial, where my office will continue to pursue justice for this young man.

Nessel issues warning on tax-related identity theft ahead of filing deadline Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is reissuing a consumer alert on tax-related identity theft as the April 15 tax filing deadline nears.

Bad actors will stop at nothing to steal our personal information and hard-earned money. With Tax Day just over a week away, it’s imperative that everyone knows the signs of identity theft.

Announcing plans to file what we expect to be a new multi-hundred-million-dollar request just seven days after securing a nearly $280 million hike proves how truly broken this system has become.

Ratepayers don't have a choice in who they buy their energy from, yet our utility companies still choose to make these relentless and unsustainable rate hike demands year after year.

I am proud of my Consumer Protection Team for holding this caterer accountable and encourage those who believe they were impacted by Late to the Lake to file a complaint with my office by May 1 to ensure they receive a refund.

West Michigan wedding caterer banned for ‘deceptive’ practices Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has reached an agreement with a wedding caterer following allegations of unlawful business practices.

A wedding is one of the most meaningful days of a person's life, and couples should be able to trust that their chosen vendor will deliver what they promised or at the very least refund them when something goes wrong.

Three sentenced for identity theft, fraud, forgery scheme The last of three people have been sentenced after pleading guilty to an identity theft and unclaimed property fraud scheme totaling more than half a million dollars.

This lawsuit challenges Trump's unlawful executive order that attempts to interfere with states' ability to administer our own elections.

Mail-in ballots are a secure voting option used by many, the President included. I will fight the effort to remove that choice for others.

I will continue to defend vulnerable Michiganders from heartless, unlawful conditions that weaponize federal funding and pull the rug out from under them.

While the federal government felt comfortable gambling with the lives of thousands of Americans by forcing them onto the street, I am relieved that the Court has once again upheld the rule of law.

My colleagues and I will continue to challenge these unlawful actions to protect our communities and environment.

Clean air should be a priority for any administration. Yet we are seeing a calculated effort by the EPA and the Trump White House to dismantle the guardrails that keep residents safe and prioritize the bottom line of fossil fuel billionaires over public health.

Nessel joins lawsuit against Trump administration over rollback of air pollution protections Nessel claims this will put families at risk as mercury is a "potent" neurotoxin. She also said this could affect not just the air we breathe but also our waterways.

Rolling back critical protections on the air we breathe for obsolete standards defies logic and puts Michigan families at risk.

Whether issued in delusion or in an attempt to distract the country from his failures in the Middle East, there is simply no possible legal authority to support this Executive Order.
