Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Dirty Madman Trump’s EPA is the truly the Environmental Pollution Agency. #climate #health #energy #environment #science #air #economy #EPA

Yes, remove her. Incompetent

Is there a fight coming up this season in the NBA between scrappy Spartans Draymond Green and Miles Bridges? How would MSU fans react to this? Did Pistons Stew get an unfair suspension?

Tom Barrett has repeatedly voted for Trump’s reckless tariffs on Canada that are hurting working Michiganders & raising prices.

Today Tom Barrett will have the chance to vote to repeal these destructive tariffs on Michigan’s #1 trading partner.

I call on him to do so now.

Italy enjoys a record-breaking day at the Winter Olympics by claiming medals in five events Italy is having a record-breaking Winter Olympics on home snow and ice. The host nation picked up five medals on Sunday, the most Italy has ever won in a single day at the Winter Olympics.

This could turn out to be Italy’s best Winter Olympics ever after a record-breaking day on home snow and ice.
