🔔 Attention Michigan’s local governments, K-12 schools, community colleges and universities!

Matt Hall has all but said he won’t deliver you a budget by the statutory deadline of July 1.

Meanwhile, the Senate Democrats’ budget has been passed for weeks.

Ben Franklin on inoculation, after his son died from smallpox.

“In 1736, I lost one of my sons, a fine boy of four years old, by the small-pox, taken in the common way. I long regretted bitterly, and still regret that I had not given it to him by inoculation”.

BREAKING: the heroes at Susman Godfrey sue the Trump administration over the illegal retaliation against them

They have more integrity in their pinky finger than these other firms that have been capitulating have in their entire partnerships

And kudos to the team at Munger for representing them

I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price.

Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.

Wow who could’ve guessed that this would happen

It’s almost as if USAID was a pillar of American soft power and influence in the world

It’s almost as if it was entirely predictable that America’s adversaries would work to fill the void left by USAID’s destruction

The “methods for doing so” are (1) getting two thirds of Congress and three fourths of the states to repeal the 22nd Amendment and (2) declaring himself king.

That’s it.

Stop treating this despotic bullshit as if it’s some worthwhile thought experiment we have to consider as legitimate.
President Trump did not rule out the possibility of seeking a third term in the White House, which is prohibited by the Constitution under the 22nd Amendment, saying in an exclusive interview with NBC News that there were methods for doing so and clarifying that he was “not joking.”

Frightening that the POTUS and his National Security staff insist on downplaying the threats to our nation’s security and putting service member’s lives at risk by making secret operations details accessible to anyone
