Protect Higher Education Funding in Michigan
A budget proposal recently passed by the Michigan House would dramatically cut state funding for the University of Michigan more than 65 percent.
Call your MI congress people and ask for their support to maintain higher education funding.

The claim of pursuing a “balanced budget” sounds good… until you see the math. Trillions in tax cuts going to the rich – increasing the deficit - while slashing healthcare and Social Security. Who benefits from this? It doesn’t add up. #TruthBrigade

Also...doesn't this action just make in even more incredibly clear that whatever is in those boxes must be incredibly valuable to Trump, be it as blackmail or self-protection!
These are factual & legal lies Trump staff are saying. He never declassified docs & would have been convicted had case gone to trial. Of course, now as president he can do with them as he wishes.
We've #FOIA'd them, incl govt summaries to make sure ppl know the damage.

WSJ editorial board: "But as with the war, Mr. Zelensky didn’t start this Oval Office exchange. Was he supposed to tolerate an extended public denigration of the Ukrainian people, who have been fighting a war for survival for three years?"
Wall Street Journal Editorial Board comes out swinging against JD Vance.
Indeed, key moment in downward spiral was Vance lashing out in response to Zelenskyy's point on diplomacy with Putin
WSJ: "It is bewildering to see Mr. Trump’s allies defending this debacle as some show of American strength."

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

So much in Blue Sky in the last month while I languished with RSV and wondered how we were going to survive. New blood in the DNC, judges who can speak truth to power are good signs. I read the article Cellular Senescence and am feeling my telomeres disappear as I age.
