MIGOP headquarters shutting down, citing economic uncertainty
Moving out sale at the old Michigan Republican Party headquarters in downtown Lansing. Just walked through the building. They asked me not to take pictures inside. Lots of Michigan political history in there.

Dearborn has been the target of far right extremist attacks for weeks. Its time for our elected officials to stand with the residents of my District and condemn this dangerous hate.

Love your work, Sam! Keep it up and go Tigers!
State Rep. Alabas Farhat, D-Dearborn, is here at the Tigers game after budget negotiations. He was present at the governors budget signing today. He says his ticket was not gifted, and has the receipts!

Congress must act. Reach out to your elected officials and ask them to sign on to our letter. No more endless wars.

It’s crazy we are in 2025, and are still contemplating how to build out passenger rail. It’s long past due we get this done.
Passenger rail service connecting Detroit, Chicago and Toronto is being pitched for a site next to Michigan Central, with possibly service starting in just over three years, report @kirkpinhoCDB and @annafifelski

Public safety is a commonsense issue—and we need to be proactive about addressing its root causes. That’s why I’m proud this package includes record investments in prevention services and gives cities the flexibility to develop their own strategies to reduce violent crime.

PBMs are single handily making prescription drugs more expensive. They balloon prices to create the illusion of better rebates. A PBMs job is to maximize profits for a health plan NOT lower costs for patients.
UnitedHealth has overcharged some cancer patients for medicine by over 1,000%. An FTC report finds that OptumRx, United Health's pharmacy benefit manager, has made billions by charging patients a huge markup for life-saving drugs.

This is a very solid point. Consider the implications beyond just individuals, even municipal or union managed pension funds. The advantage of an ETF becomes irrelevant when 10 companies hold a 40% concentration in the S&P 500.
This needs to be fixed or it will end in disaster. Why? Average Americans buy S&P 500 index ETFs, in part, because Buffett told them to. They were told they would pay very little and get diversification in the 500 best companies on earth to ride out storms. But as

Madam AG, surely you’re aware of the other relevant parts of our Constitution that require you to respect the separation of powers. If anything is criminal, it’s the willful neglect of THAT duty by threatening a member for advancing and defending the interests of her district.

Team Farhat and Byrnes were out knocking on doors this week to support our colleague, @Jaime_Churches ! Downriver has a dedicated advocate in Jaime, and it’s essential we get her reelected. Remember, down-ballot races are so vital. Make sure to get out and vote!

The United States is responsible for protecting its citizens abroad, especially in times of crisis. Given the rapid escalation in Beirut, we demand the U.S. Department of State to immediately order evacuation flights for American citizens currently in Lebanon. I am grateful for
