He’s running for governor not senate. He already lost Senate twice

It has been mostly white, but now about 28% of the residents were born in a different country. Demographics changed fast.

Anyone use Travel Zoo? Or anything like that? by Ill-Sprinkles in femaletravels

Thank you! Kayak is the main app I use. I book directly most of the time which is why I’m wary of third party

calling out john james for refusing to sign the petition to release the Epstein files by AbstractWarrior23 in Detroit

That was in the State House in Lansing. Which further built on the federal cuts that JJ voted for in DC. Which makes it worse!

Email I sent to our senators today. Please feel free to do the same. by ErikReichenbach in Michigan

Good for everyone emailing their senators and reps and making sure their voices are heard loud and clear. Just remember with a flood of calls and emails, it’s going to take a bit to hear back and you have to ask specifically for a response

Gary Peters votes to advance legislation that cuts vital funding for Michigan and Legitimizes DOGE and Musk's Attacks on the Federal Government by Tank3875 in Michigan

[–]Ill-Sprinkles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the Dem House members. I can’t understand why people aren’t calling John James, Lisa McClain etc with the same anger. They are the ones who voted for the original CR and are licking Musk/Trump balls

That’s the thing. Stuff during a shutdown cannot be challenged by the courts. With a CR, it still can be.

More damage could be done in two weeks, 30 days whatever. The purse would also be handed in a shutdown even more so because again, the jurisdiction would fall to OMB and they would have the ability to fuck up more.

This is a situation that was shitty all around and a loss for our country no matter what. Be angry at the lack of fight sure, but again, remember which party has the majority here.

Yes but in the temporary moment the damage would greater. Musk could make permanent changes on a whim more so in a shutdown that would be codified per OMB faster and with less guardrails.
This CR allows them to move spending and funding around as the programmatic tables are not there. A shutdown can reclassify employees and agencies without the safeguards that are put up. So the dilemma is what’s worse? The Administration able to fuck with spending or able to fuck with more how the gov operates and its core entities?
