The Secretary of State’s office oversees vast amounts of Michiganders’ data.

And a lot of people want to get their hands on it: big corporations, bad actors, Donald Trump and MAGA extremists. As your Secretary of State, my priority will be to ensure that your data won't be misused or weaponized.

The song "Return of the Mack" is 30 years old today. Which means it's as old now as the Temptations' "Ain't Too Proud to Beg" was in 1996. I gotta go lie down somewhere now.

We have a depraved,rogue President who has no boundaries and the GOP IS TOO COWARDLY to put up guardrails like Gen. Milley and Gen. Kelly did. The criminals running our country are now totally okay with our troops dying in an illegal and forever war. Immigrants are dying in our concentration camps.

Trump got lobbied to start the war because it's Glengarry Glen Ross and lead balloons at $1/bn day The people are insane. They just like talking to salesmen. This latest war resembles the use of a play like David Mamet’s Glengarry Glen Ross for quotes on motivational posters to decorate offices. Ra...

I like Gretchen Whitmer and I was once a huge supporter. But she's been asleep at the wheel for a long time now.

Somewhere along the way she got lost.

Starmer is pretty weak. He'll probably give in.

Mary Christine Brockert, known professionally as Teena Marie, was an American soul and R&B singer, songwriter, and producer. She was known by her childhood nickname Tina before taking the stage name Teena Marie and later acquired the nickname Lady T, given to her by her collaborator and friend Rick James. She was known for her distinctive and soulful soprano vocals, which caused many listeners to believe she was black. Her success in R&B and soul music, and loyalty to these genres earned her the title Ivory Queen of Soul. She played rhythm guitar, keyboards, and congas. Teena Marie was a four-time Grammy Award nominee, winning posthumously in 2023 for Best R&B Song for co-writing "Cuff It".

Under President Joe Biden the American economy never lost jobs.

92,000 jobs were lost just last month under Donald Trump's administration, the fourth time in just the last eight months.

Joe Biden has more Washington D.C. knowledge and understanding of politics in his pinky finger than all of the trump administration combined.

Let them all eat cake!

92,000 jobs gone in a single month and the people who spent years screaming about “Biden’s economy” are suddenly very quiet. No pandemic. Just the consequences of reckless leadership.

Literally a 12 year old playing computer games.

U.S. President Donald Trump joined a group of pastors in prayer in the Oval Office, as seen in video released on March 5.
