Meet the face of the Ann Arbor Antifa terror cell, 91-year-old Angela Williams:

“I have feared for our democracy before, but I've always felt that the three branches of government were independent. And now I'm very disturbed by the lack of independence.”

We have a small, but mighty team at @michiganadvance.com, who covered passage of our new state budget, spending long hours at the Capitol until final votes, followed by comprehensive write-ups on each piece.

Kudos to @bensolis1.bsky.social, @kdavidsonjrn.bsky.social and @kdailey.bsky.social

Scenes from the hell-hole that is Portland. I’m just glad me and my wife made it out alive after visiting last week.

Based on how this appeared in my inbox, I thought either he dined out at McD’s (always a possibility) or it was a subtle jab by Politico (also a possibility).

Turns out it was just sponsored by McD’s to promote their extra value meals, which I’m guessing will soon appear on the USDA’s food pyramid.

Michigan House Republicans successfully passed HB 4024 Thursday by a vote of 58-46. It would ban transgender students from using the bathroom that aligns with their gender identity. The bill has been called a distraction from stalled budget negotiations as it is unlikely to pass the state Senate.
