A thousand people showed up in Traverse City, Michigan today to line the streets in protest ICE. It was below freezing. Snow everywhere. Sunday afternoon. Michigan is a swing state. This isn’t Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids or Detroit. And 1,000 people still came out. That’s an enormous share of the local population showing up to one protest, especially in below-freezing weather.

What a week. Someone used the N word at a state senate hearing on gun sense and today we have nazis marching in Columbus Ohio. It’s almost like they feel like they have permission to act this way. 🤔

Michigan House Speaker Matt Hall was met with cries of “shame” after he ripped back $645 million in already-approved funding for programs that support pregnant women, babies, kids with cancer, veterans, education, and local community projects. These weren’t bloated budgets or wasteful spending. Hall’s cuts hit a nonprofit that provides wigs to children undergoing cancer treatment and an organization that supports child survivors of sexual assault. House Speaker Matt Hall is calling this responsibility. It’s cruelty dressed up as governance. And even inside the GOP, the move is raising alarms. Rep. Jon Bumstead (R-Muskegon) said the state should stand by the promises it already made in the budget. When people yelled “shame,” they weren’t heckling — they were calling out a betrayal.

During his 2024 campaign, Mike Rogers looked into a camera and warned Michigan voters that we might not “survive” $3.99 gas. He blamed Democrats, blamed their agenda, and treated pain at the pump like proof that America was falling apart. Now gas is pushing $5 in Michigan under the Republican agenda he supports, and suddenly Rogers has discovered nuance. Now it’s about Iran. Now it’s about “direct actions.” Now it’s somehow still Democrats’ fault. Please. Mike Rogers did not care about gas prices. He cared about using gas prices. And now the receipt is louder than his campaign.

Congressman John James is dodging accountability like it’s his job—and honestly, maybe it is. With over 143 Stock Act violations and $1.2 million in sketchy trades, he’s more interested in padding his bank account than serving his district. But when pressed about it? He runs faster than he trades his stocks. Check out the video below where he flat-out avoids taking responsibility. Is this who we want repping us in Congress? Nah, it’s time to elect someone who’s actually working for the people, not their own portfolio. 👇

Chicago’s mayor deployed every salt truck in the city to block ICE last night. Because when the forecast calls for ICE, you salt the roads until it melts. ❄️🧂 By dawn today, IDOT plows and salt trucks were out on I-294, the Edens, and I-94 — crawling shoulder to shoulder, jamming every lane into Chicago. A wall of trucks, moving slow, making it clear: ICE isn’t welcome here.

A Michigan far-right agitator, Jake Lang, went to Minneapolis thinking he could intimidate people standing up to ICE. Instead, the city rejected him outright and ran him out loudly, publicly, and humiliatingly. Minneapolis doesn’t tolerate fascist tourists. Bye Jake 👋

“We’ll be making cuts that will be permanent… only Democrat programs.” So he’s admitting his plan is to gut programs millions rely on — healthcare, education, climate action — not because they don’t work, but because Democrats created them. That’s not policy. That’s revenge.

State Senator and MI Republican Party Chair Jim Runestad threw countless temper tantrums during yesterday’s State Senate Bill hearing to rein in ICE actions in Michigan. Take a look at what happens when a Republicans leaves their echo chamber and faces reality and rules. A total temper tantrum and meltdown. State Senator Chang, Stephanie Chang , chair of the committee, knew exactly how to keep the toddler tantrums in check though. 💅 The package of bills would prohibit ICE from entering community places like schools, hospitals, and places of worship, require judicial warrants and demask ICE in public. #mileg

Michigan’s republican gubernatorial candidate John James went on the Benny Show and talked about all the things Michiganders care about most. • Circumcision • Sumitting to his lord and savior • Satan No, seriously. Never mind the things Michiganders care about most like getting their utility and grocery prices down or affordable housing. This is some weird shit 👇

We met a Haley Stevens voter at today’s Michigan Dems Rally and asked why he’s supporting Dr. Abdul El-Sayed in November.

Detroit showed solidarity with Los Angeles today — a protest in unity following yesterday’s ICE raids in California. With the National Guard now in L.A., it’s clear: concerns about federal force are resonating well beyond the West Coast.
