The GOP’s budget will impact EVERY Michigander:

Let’s call this bill what it is: a massive redistribution of wealth from the middle class to the ultra-wealthy. As the country faces an affordability crisis, this is the last thing Michiganders need.   John, Trump’s Medicaid cuts aren’t just cruel – they’re expensive. Trum…

I just finished my second all-nighter trying to stop Trump’s bill.

When this bill passes, it will be a Republican majority in Congress that worked to sell out the working and middle class to reward billionaires with tax cuts.   John, I just finished my second all-nighter trying to stop Trump’s Big Ugly Bill. Let me be absolutely clear: This …
