Trump admin withholds more than $156M for Michigan school programs, educator training | Bridge Michigan The federal government is withholding more than $6 billion in education grants — including more than $156 million for Michigan — to ensure they align with President Donald Trump’s priorities

$156M in federal funds for Michigan school programs & educator training are frozen — leaving schools, teachers, & families stuck in the dark. In moments like this, our voices deserve to be heard to empower everyone in our community. Join the WBL Dems to speak up & stand with those left waiting.

Lansing running up against self-imposed education budget deadline That self-imposed deadline is Tuesday — but the proposed education budgets passed by the Republican-led House and Democratic-led Senate are extremely different.

With tonight’s midnight deadline, Michigan students are caught in the budget crossfire. From special ed to school meals, vital supports hang in the balance. Democrats are pushing for funding that meets real needs and grows with our kids. The WBL Dems stand for public education that lifts us all.

Keep up the good work!!

On Dobbs anniversary, Michigan reminds hospitals of their reproductive health care responsibilities  • Michigan Advance An order issued Tuesday by the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs reiterated to Michigan hospitals their responsibilities “to continue providing adequate and appropriate…

In January — speaking to the entire nation at his Inauguration - Donald Trump proclaimed ‘We will measure our success not only by the battles we win, but also by the wars that we end, and perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into.’ Today, against his own words, the president sent bombers into Iran. Americans overwhelmingly do not want to go to war. Americans do not want to risk the safety of our troops abroad. Americans do not want a president who bypasses our constitution and pulls us towards war without Congressional approval. Donald Trump needs to bring his case to Congress immediately.

WATCH: Thousands rally in Ann Arbor for No Kings protest Thousands of people gathered in Ann Arbor on Saturday afternoon for a No Kings protest, one of thousands of protests happening all over the country.

Over the weekend, millions of our fellow Americans showed up to remind Donald Trump that there are no kings in America! We in the West Bloomfield-Lakes area are proud to have played a part through protests in Farmington Hills, Ferndale, Detroit, and other protests across our great state, Michigan.

Completely heartbroken to learn about these targeted attacks on my friends Melissa Hortman and John Hoffman.

Jenn and I are praying hard for both families. And we’re standing with our DFL community—and with all Minnesotans.

The way Senator Padilla was treated today is outrageous and inexcusable. He was doing his job and trying to get information for his constituents. We need accountability for the personnel who forced him to the ground and handcuffed him and immediate answers from the Admin.

Senator Murphy: I don't ask law enforcement to throw my constituents to the ground and violently handcuff them because they have a different opinion from me. We don't do that in a democracy. If this is how a Senator can be treated, none of our constituents are safe. This is a test for the country

There is no justification for the aggressive behavior displayed today toward Senator Padilla. This is a U.S. Senator. In a federal building. In his own state, doing his job.

If they can handle a Senator like this, they can do this to anybody. It is an authoritarian response.

To forcibly remove and handcuff a sitting United States Senator expressing the concerns of his constituents marks a serious escalation in how far this administration is willing to go to silence those who disagree with them.
