Local Indivisible Groups Respond To Claim That Their Events Are Paid For By Billionaire George Soros Traverse Indivisible and Leelanau Indivisible, the co-hosts of a Jack Bergman town hall event scheduled to take place this Saturday at Milliken Auditorium, have issued a joint public response to claim...

Warren Buffett: Tariffs are ‘an act of war’ Tariffs might be President Donald Trump’s favorite word. To legendary investor Warren Buffett, there is less to be excited about.

I met with my legislative staff this morning and they confirmed that the uptick in constituents contacting us continues, and that an estimated 50-60% of our already busy call and email engagement from constituents are now concerns about federal.

We just want to remind you: You’re not alone. We’re all in this together, and we’ll get through it together. We’ve seen so many people sharing their feelings of anxiety and stress—please take a moment for yourself. Your well-being matters. Sending you hugs—you are amazing, and we love you all! 💚

The FAA is close to canceling a $2.4 billion contract with Verizon to overhaul the communications system that serves as the backbone of the nation’s air traffic control and is awarding the work to Musk’s Starlink. Follow the money and see where it goes.

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote.

There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP

This is insane

Every action is another bit of sand in the gears. No matter how small. Keep it up.

Keep at it
