Many thanks to the Greater Lansing Food Bank and @garlingilchrist.bsky.social for today's media roundtable on the proposed cuts to SNAP and the harm they will do in mid-Michigan. Food is a human right and we @michleague.bsky.social are fighting for all families in our state.

For all my fellow metro Detroiters who grew up in the 90s:

Me and DOGE want you to come to 1600 Pennsylvania right noooow...get a good deal!
Still from a 1990s TV commercial for a used car dealership in southeast Michigan. It's an animated cowboy playing a banjo next to an animated brown dog with floppy ears on a bright yellow background.
