Judge to Hegseth: HORSEFEATHERS!
A federal judge rejected Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's attempt to demote Sen. Mark Kelly over a video reminding the military of unlawful orders.
The judge's fiery decision against Hegseth included 15 exclamation points (!) and a quote from Bob Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues."

She didn’t turn around. She didn’t look at them.
They were right there.
She could have arranged to get their contact information.
She could have shown a scrap of sympathy.
But Pam Bondi wouldn’t even look them in the eye.

Repealing Right to Work, reinstating prevailing wage, and raising the minimum wage and pegging it to inflation.
We did that here in Michigan.
We showed how to build power, fight alongside labor – and win. We need that same attitude from our next U.S. Senator.

“Crazy Hawk said she felt immigration enforcement echoed the violence experienced by Native Americans at the hands of the U.S. government, stretching back several hundred years and including the interment of Dakota people in the stockade at Fort Snelling in the winter of 1862-1863.”

Today I’m introducing simple legislation:
If a corporation receives an incentive paid for by YOUR tax dollars – they cannot give that money to their shareholders. No stock buybacks.
Your tax dollars should be reinvested in you, not shareholders.
