It's Day 3 of the Affordable LIFE Advent Calendar!

Part of living an Affordable Life is ending the tariff wars that are harming our farmers here in Upper and Northern Michigan!

Have you felt the impact?

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

The Democrats called out racist shitbags and serial sex offenders.

If you heard those attacks and felt they were calling *you* out personally, then that's entirely on you, champ.

The rest of us white guys didn't hear that. At all.
Dems didn't brand "white dudes" as the "bad guy" as Portnoy suggests. We branded people who support a toxic, hate-filled convicted felon who abuses women and lies constantly about everything as the bad guys, and they just happen to be disproportionately white men.

We shouldn't be having to make decisions like these. We need representation that is grounded in reality, not aligned with gilded incompetence.

Fifty years ago, the Edmund Fitzgerald sank into Lake Superior.

I spoke with Tony Hall, a veteran who responded, about what he and his crew saw that night — and what it means to care for those who've served.

This Veterans Day, we honor all who served.

i will repeat: this is psychological torture for SNAP recipients.
NEW: The Trump admin told states it must immediately "undo" the work to provide full food stamp benefits, or face penalties. The feds sent this in a late-night memo, only adding to the chaos and confusion around SNAP. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/09/b...

People in DC may not care who pays the millions to keep this plant open unnecessarily, but Michiganders do — because the cost will eventually be passed on to ratepayers. The state had a plan. The Admin. decided to override it, to the tune of $4.3 million per week. www.mlive.com/environment/...

Twenty-nine sailors drowned when the Edmund Fitzgerald went down in the Great Lakes' icy waters on Nov. 10, 1975. The ship was immortalized in a surprise hit 1976 folk ballad by Gordon Lightfoot.

They went to rallies and were given signs saying “Mass Deportation NOW”

They raised these signs, smiling, as they cheered him during the convention

They knew EXACTLY what they were voting for-the cruelty, the lawlessness, the utter inhumanity

And they did it anyway

Because I said so. Not how facts work.
Reporter: “The president posted on True Social that the voting underway in California is ‘rigged.’ What evidence does he have of that?”

Leavitt: “There’s fraud in California’s elections. It’s just a fact.”

Reporter: “What’s the evidence of that, though?”
