Mike Rogers is a corporate sellout who moves back to Michigan every few years to run for office to take another swing at the revolving door of corporate politics.
My foreign policy views are simple. I think we should be the first among equals to enforce the international law we helped build.
Thanks, @ezraklein, for having me on the show.
In Michigan, we're having to skimp on staples at the grocery store like meat and peanut butter just so we can fill up our gas tank for $5 a gallon and pay our outrageous monopoly utility bills.
This is about one thing and one thing alone. Steering our research dollars for cancer, heart disease, and new infectious diseases to Trump’s political allies and friends.
Not only is it corrupt, but it’s going to interfere with life-saving scientific research—delaying possible cures for diseases that affect millions of Americans every single year.
To my Jewish friends and neighbors who will soon be observing Yom Kippur: May you be inscribed for a good year in the book of life. I'm looking forward to continuing to work together to build a better Michigan and a better world.
How do we make teaching a sustainable career? We need:
🎒Education budget tied to the defense budget
🎒Teacher minimum wage
🎒Strong teacher unions
🎒Investment in the paraprofessionals that a kid needs to be their best learner and so teachers can focus on teaching
We need to be absolutely clear. Donald Trump is trying to forestall any meaningful limit on AI development, which even the people developing it say has a serious chance of dooming humanity, for one reason. The midterms. AI and its chips and data centers are the only thing keeping the stock market in the black right now. He doesn't want his 20-car pileup to get even worse as gas and grocery prices soar. He’s putting his short term political interests over the huge risk AI poses. And that’s what you’ll get if his stooges like Mike Rogers wins. Short-term, self-dealing liars.
It was wonderful to spend Rosh Hashanah last week with Missy and Elaine, two lifelong Michiganders who welcomed me into their home and taught me about the sweet and joyous meaning of Rosh Hashanah. We talked about the work we can do together to build a more just and peaceful future for our communities here in Michigan. Shana tova and shavua tov!
Honored to sit down with Highland Park Mayor Glenda McDonald to discuss what it will take to alleviate structural poverty across communities that have been underinvested and overlooked.
