Waterford Township planning commission.

Regular planning commission meeting in Waterford Township. I’ve seen more people at other meetings in this room but this is quite a crowd.

Accurate!

Drastic staffing cuts at the Education Department to be reviewed The department’s inspector general’s office is investigating after Democratic senators asked for a probe of the Trump administration’s actions.

I called for an independent investigation into Donald Trump's dismantling of the Department of Education, and now, it's happening.

This investigation will reveal what's at stake for families.

While Trump and Musk side with billionaires, I'll side with our kids.

Detroit knows.

CDC denies help for lead poisoning in Milwaukee schools due to layoffs The CDC rejected a request for help "due to the complete loss" of their lead poisoning experts.

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie).

Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

Questionable ICE ‘wellness check’ caught on video in suburban Highwood Ashbey Beasley, an activist who witnessed the 2022 mass shootings in Highland Park, posted video on Instagram showing Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents at the door of a suburban resident's…

Social media reports claim that federal immigration agents were knocking on doors for wellness checks and using the tactic to find people to deport. ICE confirmed they're investigating potential trafficking of unaccompanied minors released to sponsors.

Today in history, 1939: Marian Anderson performs for 75,000 people at the Lincoln Memorial. The DAR had refused to allow the renowned contralto to sing in Constitution Hall, so FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt helped arrange the concert on federal property. /1

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks.

We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

Pro-Palestine student protesters at Michigan State University have been given two trespass warnings as they occupy the first floor of the Hannah Administration Building nearly two hours after the building closed. The protesters want MSU to divest from holdings in Israel.

Literature informs and sometimes warns us.

Tweet showing a GIF of Rachel McAdams as Regina George from Mean Girls smiling and saying, "So you agree," above a Pop Base post stating the IRS will share immigrants’ tax information with ICE to aid deportations.

Seems … accurate.

Gettin’ smart(er) at the #Region4 @spj-posts.bsky.social annual conference with @ideastream1.bsky.social

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse.

2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report."

3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes."

This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
