Trump was absolutely on the ballot tonight and Democrats in the Senate better recognize that and hold the line. The strategy of “break everything and make everything as bad as possible as quickly as possible” is not working for the GOP.

Dude is out here tanking the economy, hawking $100K cars that no one wants, and spouting marketing email talking points on the White House lawn. The broligarchy has arrived, folks—and they’re not gonna do shit to make your life better.

Late last night, House Republicans narrowly voted on a budget bill that increases the budget deficit by $2.8 trillion over the next ten years, including $600 billion in interest.
It cuts billions in taxes for the wealthy and decimates vital services and programs for vulnerable Americans.

Don’t sleep on Gov. Mills of Maine. I’ve been observing her career for several years, while she’s not as flashy as some of the darlings of the party, she’s definitely a force to be reckoned with. Thank you for actually standing up for your people.

During last week's snow events our Operations & Maintenance crews were hard at work clearing and salting Lansing roads.
Great job to the hard working members of the O&M team!

Over the past four years, I had almost forgotten the sheer ineptitude with which this administration manages virtually everything, even the crises they create themselves. The White House has withdrawn the memorandum on freezing aid. Be assured, this isn't the last we'll hear about this issue though.
