This anticipated executive order from President Trump to dismantle the Department of Education poses an existential threat to our public education system and our state finances.

The Governor’s focus on infrastructure and education are two things I’m most focused on coming out of tonight’s State of the State address. We’ve made great strides these last two years in those two areas — and I’m committed this year to doing even more for Downriver and Western Wayne County.

Four years ago the Michigan House Oversight Committee and the attempt to undermine the results of the 2020 election was parodied on SNL.
I feel like I’ve lived multiple lifetimes since this moment. And the parody never fully lived up to the real thing.

I want to be on the record to say that I don’t think it’s appropriate for the president to pardon his own family members or any political allies. It’s ridiculous that we’ve come to this point.

Why aren’t right wing organizations and legislators demanding that our legislative oversight committees do a forensic audit of the election?
Because they only sow doubt in government and our elections when they lose.

I cannot understate how bad it will be with a former WWE Executive as Education Secretary. Students are no longer going to be the priority — if confirmed, her only goal will be a right wing agenda focused on destabilizing public schools.
