ICE has continued to ignore requests for basic information about the warehouse from my office, local officials, and residents. Through this FOIA request, we demand answers.

Michigan AG Dana Nessel sues Kalshi, alleging illegal online sports betting Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel filed a lawsuit against KalshiEx, LLC (Kalshi), alleging they violated Michigan’s Lawful Sports Betting Act (LSBA).

Nessel warns Michigan ratepayers will pay for Trump's coal plant order There is no end in sight for Trump's emergency orders keeping a Consumers Energy coal plant operating in west Michigan, environmental group warns.

Michigan ratepayers shouldn’t have to cover the cost of federal decisions that keep an aging coal plant running, especially when more affordable renewable energy options exist.

Charities serve their communities and should not be used as vehicles for financial gain. GoFundMe must prove that it has fully rectified these issues and clearly explain what it's changing to make sure this doesn't happen again.

Michigan Attorney General demanding removal of β€˜deceptive’ GoFundMe pages According to the letter, in Oct. 2025, GoFundMe publicly admitted to creating its own donation pages for 1.4 million charities in the U.S. without first getting permission.

GoFundMe's misleading attempt to capitalize on the good work of more than a million charities is deeply troubling.

When in doubt, always follow your instincts and never share personal and financial information because you received an urgent text message. Verify any claims with the 36th District Court or any entity a scammer is claiming to represent.

How many times are Michigan families expected to reach deeper into their pockets to bankroll record profits and shareholder dividends for DTE and Consumers Energy’s Wall Street investors, while reliability and affordability remain out of reach?

It’s astonishing that our current system allows DTE to announce their next rate hike case less than one week after locking in a $242 million rate hike, all while the utility projects record profits.

Instead, the Trump White House has abruptly and unlawfully terminated these grants, throwing essential programs across the country into uncertainty, jeopardizing the safety of our communities, and undermining years of proactive work to prevent such acts of violence.

The federal government has worked side by side with states to ensure major projects don't harm local rivers, lakes, and wetlands. This rule would only weaken this essential partnership and make it harder for Michigan to protect the water sources our families rely on.
