Michigan’s About to Get Screwed—Speak Up or Step Aside
If you’re not raising hell about these new tariffs, then what are you even doing? Michigan’s economy depends on manufacturing, tech, clean energy, and innovation—and these tariffs threaten all of it. They’ll drive up costs on EVs, solar components, and other essentials we need to stay competitive.
Don’t Let D.C. Tank Michigan’s Economy
These tariffs are absolute bullshit. They do nothing to help Michigan—they’re political theater at the expense of real people and real businesses. If they go through, they’ll jack up prices, hurt small manufacturers, and make it even harder for working people to get by. We’re already getting crushe
Restore funding for GVSU's pathogen monitoring and training lab

Inappropriate usage of the IPAWS WEA system
Good morning, I’m writing today to express concern about using the IPAWS WEA system to send out a 6am alert about a building fire that was 10+ miles away from my house. While I’m sympathetic to the people injured and possibly deceased from the fire, it was an inappropriate use of the system. I expe

No to ICE
Find a way to stop Geo from acquiring and using the North Lake Facility in Baldwin, MI, or any property at all in this state. Michiganders are far more important than any ICE goal.

Protect our right to let us marry who we love!
The right to marry, who we love is at stake. Republicans are now trying to attack the court ruling that gave us gay marriage. Revoking this right would be a mistake.
