These so-called "DEMOCRAT AGENCIES"...

-Ensure our food is safe to eat
-Keep our air and water clean
-Alert us to natural disasters
-Protect us from financial fraud and scammers

Remember what Trump is actually attacking.

VP Vance says Whitmer can just "ask" to send National Guard to Detroit in Howell speech Vice President JD Vance returned to Michigan Wednesday afternoon with a visit to a precision metal stamping facility in Howell.

It took me too long to realize, but now that they need a governor's permission to send the national guard into their state, they're making statements that make them sound like vampires.

When we get to pleading in my first-year Civil Procedure class, my students often ask me just how over the top a complaint would have to be for a judge to strike it without even being *asked* to do so.

Thanks to President Trump, we have an answer:

Wait, is this -- is this real? They actually published a list of books that may or may not exist? (The Last Algorithm by Andy Weir is, for example, not an actual book!) Please, jfc, tell me this isn't real. I'm not finding it online anywhere, which makes me hope it's fake? Gotta be fake, please?

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

When Andrew Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking, Trump intervened to fly him back to the US.

When a working-class father of a disabled 5-year-old child was wrongfully deported and charged with NO crime, Trump refuses to lift a finger.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

Blake Gendebien for Congress Join us to send a dairy farmer to Congress

If everyone gave just $5 we can make a huge difference!

There are 3 seats that are special elections. If we win these seats, it would take away the Republican's majority in the House.

The only way we'll win is if we fight--hard.
