Progress Michigan

May or may not be tuning in tonight specifically for Bad Bunny...

The last thing anyone needs is for Trump and MAGA Republicans to start meddling in our elections.

Duggan goes silent on ICE as public backlash over raids grows - Detroit Metro Times Former Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan, who is running as an independent gubernatorial candidate, is refusing to say how he would handle federal immigration enforcement if elected governor, even as public o...

In the past, Mike Duggan has spoken proudly and publicly about his collaboration with ICE. Now, as Michiganders become more and more aware of the horrors being perpetrated by ICE, he has nothing to say. www.metrotimes.com/news/politic...

Lake Effect results are confirming what we already know: Michiganders are not on board with the onslaught of data centers that threaten to poison our communities.

Michigander to Michigander: You can't trust Dirty Duggan. Now that he's embarked on his independent vanity campaign, all his old skeletons are coming out of the closet...

More from our latest Lake Effect poll: Michiganders want action from our elected officials to lower prescription drug prices.

AG Dana Nessel is right: The courthouse arrests have got to stop. We hope the Michigan Supreme Court will step up and defend Michiganders' right to safely attend their legal hearings without fear of unjust arrest.

MAGA Republicans have been trying for years to stifle honest educationn about racism and deny both the past and the present of racism and racial justice movements—which makes celebrating and honoring #BlackHistoryMonth more important than ever.

Black graphic with bold text in pink and light blue that reads, "Mike Duggan is a liar and a loser."

Mike Duggan be honest challenge!!!!

Our full statement on Duggan inventing a scenario that never happened (and throwing trans kids under the bus in the process): progressmichigan.org/2026/01/dirt...

Some systems can't be reformed. We must abolish ICE.

Today, we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy and recommit ourselves to the fight for racial and economic justice for all.

ICYMI: Republican Rep. Lisa McClain is once again making headlines for shady stock trading. Her constituents deserve better.

Republican lawmakers are making life less affordable for people across the country—including here in Michigan.

Attention all Michiganders who care about our environment and the Great Lakes: Join Michigan United Action for a webinar at 7 p.m. on Sunday to discuss the threat posed by AI data centers and crypto mining. https://www.mobilize.us/mipeoplecampaign/event/878335/

We regret to inform you all that Republican House Speaker Matt Hall is at it again...

Following AG Dana Nessel's official opinion that his actions were unlawful, Hall is now taking his temper tantrum to the courts.

Members of Congress engaging in stock trading raises significant ethical questions and erodes public trust in government. Lisa McClain's husband's recent purchase of 100,000 shares in a Musk-owned AI company is extremely concerning, and another reason why we need reform ASAP.

Donald Trump came to town yesterday to further push his lies and failed policies and before he spoke he decided to disrespect and spew profanities at one of Michigan’s hard working blue color union workers.

ICYMI: Republican House Speaker Matt Hall tried to deny Michiganders hundreds of millions in funding for programs that were already approved, and AG Dana Nessel wasn't having it.

Here's to another year of fighting for a more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable Michigan!

Mike Duggan gets a lot of praise for presiding over Detroit's economic comeback—but that comeback has not benefited all Detroiters equally. While downtown has thrived and wealthy developers have raked in profits, working people are being left behind.

Michigan Lawmakers Introduce Bill to Repeal Data Center Tax Incentives - Inside Climate News A bipartisan bill introduced Tuesday in the Michigan Legislature would repeal the state’s data center tax incentive laws, which, since their late 2024 approval, have helped attract over a dozen data center proposals.  The proposed repeal comes just as public outrage over, and opposition to, data centers from across the political spectrum is reaching a […]

Shoutout to the Michigan lawmakers working to eliminate tax incentives for AI data centers!

The cruel and heartless cuts that House Republicans made this week will jeopardize health care, services for children with cancer, programs for young sexual assault survivors, proven programs for mothers and children, veteran services, and much more.

Next year could be a big one for ballot initiatives. Have you signed these petitions yet?

Congrats to Reps. Pauline Wendzel and Greg VanWoerken on the engagement! Now, would you care to explain why your party was paid for by a Lansing lobbying firm?

The Campbell coal plant was supposed to close months ago. Instead, Trump’s coal order is forcing it to stay open – and we’re paying for it. A report found that it costs $11.6 million every month to keep burning coal, which the utility company tacks onto our bills each month.

Michiganders already pay too much for energy—but Trump is fine with making us all pay even more!

Matt Hall, Mr. eTHiCs aND TrAnSParEnCy, accepting gifts from a lobbyist? Say it ain't so!

There's only one more day to contact the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to reject the latest proposal to keep fossil fuels running through the heart of the Great Lakes for another century.

Another addition to Mike Duggan's list of red flags: he's been pulling in major donations from the MAGA crowd. https://www.metrotimes.com/news/politics-elections/trump-megadonor-at-center-of-detroit-scandals-hosts-fundraiser-for-duggan/
