17 votes • Final resultsI am thrilled that @JocelynBenson is running for Michigan's governor, and plan to do all I can to campaign for her. But I have to say I am feeling a lot of despair right now.
The problem, Senator -- as you surely know -- is that Republicans use the claim of "protecting homeland security" as a fig leaf for denying fundamental human rights without due process. "I'll work with them" provides cover for their abuses
Congratulations, @MichiganEGLE, you successfully ran out the clock and now all of the funding for this program that you spent two years developing procedures for has been withdrawn by executive order and nobody will ever get to take advantage of it
The pilot launched last week with 50 households in Marquette County and Holland. The statewide launch is set for early 2025. You can find more info in the press release. michigan.gov/egle/newsroom/p…

If you're a Democrat, your mission over the next four years can be easily condensed to a single line: make sure every single thing Americans hear about their federal government, and the state of the country, is bad.
I cannot express how disheartened I am that both of Michigan Democratic senators, @SenGaryPeters and @SenatorSlotkin, voted in favor of the Laken Riley Act, which will enable ICE to put migrants in detention without due process and empower states to block visa programs. Shameful.
"Why aren't you at the Hague?" is not, in fact, a question, any more than "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" is.
Why aren’t liberal journalism critics and academics — who constantly lecture us about the press giving Trump a “free pass” and “anticipatory obedience” — bothered by @samhusseini getting dragged out of a State Department briefing for asking tough questions?
This looks like @ryanqnorth wearing a fake mustache, but of course there's no reason at all to suspect that he is secretly either Joseph Stalin or D.B. Cooper, who I mention only as a second famous example of a bank robber and not of course for any other reason
Fun fact: Joseph Stalin isn’t just a Soviet dictator—he’s also history’s most successful bank robber. In 1907, he masterminded a Tiflis heist, stealing 341,000 rubles (worth $3.4M today) to fund the revolution. No masks, no vaults, just revolutionary vibes. 🏦🔫 #History
Mathematician here: ChatGPT *routinely* gets our homework assignments wrong. It's not able to sustain attention on anything long-term so on any problem that has multiple parts or aspects to it tends to wander off into total nonsense
I need a @dieworkwear breakdown of this picture

The more likely explanation is that he didn’t know what the question meant (“WTF is Title 9?”) so did what he always does when anybody asks him anything at all about a specific policy or law, I.e. pretend that he knows what he is talking about while giving no specifics
Trump also says he's "looking" at something he pledged to do "on day one" seven months ago... I read that more as him trying to move on to a different topic, than him re-thinking the policy. epgn.com/2024/05/15/trump-pl…
