My Governor Christian My Lt. Governor Daughter of Dutch Immigrants My Senator Egyptians & Muslim My Other Senator Jewish My Attorney General Jewish My Secretary of State Black My Speaker Sikh My Majority Leader Maltese & Mexican ....Pistons in Four.
Today, I’m humbled to be elected by my colleagues as Speaker of the Michigan House! When my parents immigrated to this country, they couldn’t have imagined their son would one day make history, break barriers and lead the Michigan House. That is the promise of America. Michiganders sent us to Lansing with a clear message: lower costs and make life more affordable for working families. Our Majority is ready to deliver, and I look forward to working with Senate Majority Leader-Elect @darrincamilleri and Governor-Elect @JocelynBenson to get it done. Thank you to my colleagues for your trust. Excited to get to work!

Worth noting in the last 3 years that Florida’s republican governorship vetoed over $4 million dollars in drainage improvement projects in Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade counties alone. Election Day is tomorrow.

NO RACE HAS BEEN DECIDED GO VOTE
That's a wrap! House: 🔵 240 - (224-252 Likely Seats) 🔴 195 - (183-211 Likely Seats) Senate: 🔵 54 - (51-55 Likely Seats) 🔴 46 - (45-49 Likely Seats) Governorships: 🔵 29 - (26-30 Likely Seats) 🔴 21 - (20-24 Likely Seats) Read it for free: usapolling.substack.com/p/de…

This post is misleading. By saying “that’s a wrap!” And posting projected election results, it suggests the elections have already happened and the results are known. In fact, the post is only referring to the end of polling, while the election itself is on Tuesday. t.co/S13gIvzXaq

Growing up, a hit song crossed demographics whether the genre was your favorite or not. People who don’t primarily listen to country still know Dolly, Shania, Carrie, The Chicks, etc. because they made actual hit records that crossed over. If a song can spend 23 weeks at #1, breaking records that stood for 20+ years, while a huge portion of the public is sincerely saying they’ve never heard it, maybe the conversation isn’t “people hate country.” Maybe @RollingStone should be writing about how streaming-era chart dominance no longer equals cultural dominance because there’s some trickery at play. That’s the real story being avoided. Don’t gaslight us.
What Some Folks Really Mean When They Claim to Have Never Heard ‘Choosin’ Texas’ Proclaiming you're unfamiliar with Ella Langley's record-setting song has a lot in common with saying "I listen to anything but country." rollingstone.com/music/music…

Ms. Rachel blasts Republican Christian hypocrisy: “Let’s be a more Christian nation and take away SNAP benefits. Let’s be a more Christian nation and put our neighbors and put the strangers in detention centers. Let’s make more and more money and not help others and let’s deny people’s healthcare. But the SNAP thing, that just breaks me. You’re gonna complain about a child having enough food?”
