The Michigan Progressive Caucus is fired up and ready to get money out of politics, put money in your pocket, and pass Medicare for All! Gone are the days of politicians telling us what we cannot have and should not fight for.

It doesn't appear to be working. If anything, Donald's mental health seems to have gotten worse, if even possible.

📣 Thanks to this fantastic primer from @taniel.bsky.social, I've been able to fill in every 2026 state Supreme Court race except one!

Unfortunately, this also meant having to delete several races in several states where there's no Dem/progressive running:

Dr. El-Sayed was everywhere at convention. He and his staff worked very hard. I got to meet him briefly (and yes, I fan-girled so bad I left my camera on the table).

There were a lot of feelings in the room at the Michigan Democratic Party Spring Nominating Convention in Detroit yesterday. But lets talk about the positive. Dr. Abdul El-Sayed’s speech was electric. Pardon the cheap seats, but you will get the gist. It was a moment.

A tweet showing a back-and-forth where Trump suggests other countries will help blockade Iran but then says the U.S. doesn’t need other countries, with a Fox News clip of Trump speaking outside the White House.

Coherence has never been his strong suit, but it's getting far worse.

Michigan has a decentralized medical examiner system. In order to collect this type of information, researchers had to collect the data county-by-county, and are still working to get data from a number of counties, especially in the U.P. and northern Michigan.

Donald Trump has made Iran, the Catholic Church and Majorie Taylor Greene sympathetic characters.

Imagine how immoral you have to be to do that.

The post, headline, and subhead dance around facts that are contained in the second third of the article: There’s some evidence Orban’s one-party-ruled state apparatus is engaging in election fraud and no evidence that the disempowered opposition are doing it.

men can’t understand what it’s like for women to see story after story after story of women being victims of sexual violence in a culture where it’s routine; what it’s like to live in a world that is fundamentally hostile to our existence. it’s a wonder we leave the fucking house, let alone thrive.

Donald Trump's Plan To Steal Or Destroy Everything We should assume it's underway, starting with the Epstein files.

Legal eagles noticed, and there’s been SOME mainstream coverage. But overall the political class has underreacted to this month’s OLC opinion, ordered up by Trump or on his behalf, declaring the Presidential Records Act unconstitutional. Things are likely being stolen and/or destroyed *right now*.

Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.

Israel is doing everything it can to destroy hopes for peace as it launches a criminal wave of bombings on Lebanon overnight. They have killed more than 250 people and injured over 1,000 more. Global sanctions, global action, is needed, now.

1/2. Notice that after losing the war Trump threatens his allies rather than Russia — even though Russia quite literally helped Iran defeat the US and he knows it.

NEW: Mike Rogers Says Trump is “Going In The Right Direction” on Affordability as Prices Skyrocket - Michigan Democratic Party LANSING — Multi-millionaire Mike Rogers is continuing to dismiss concerns about rising costs, telling POLITICO in a new interview that “I think [Michiganders] feel that the president is going in the…

"After dismissing concerns about skyrocketing gas prices and leaking his plan to spike health care premiums, it’s clear that Price Hike Mike is only focused on helping himself and his special interest backers, not working people in Michigan.”
