RECEIPTS, NOT LABELS: Last week the assignment was simple: give voters something to vote FOR. Here's what that looks like on healthcare for Rogers. Show, don't tell, as a friend of mine likes to say. She's 25. Grand Rapids. Two jobs. No insurance this year, because rent won. Then she hears Abdul El-Sayed's pitch: no premiums, no deductibles, no copays. If you're her, that sounds like rescue. Now the fine print. He wrote the book on Medicare for All. Literally. Bernie Sanders wrote the foreword. "We don't really need private health insurance in this country." His words, on his own podcast. His plan outlaws private coverage for anything it covers. Price tag? North of $30 TRILLION in the first decade. More than $20,000 per household, every single year, in new government spending. And she pays it at 25, at 35, at 45, at 55. Every check. Every raise. No opt-out. No cheaper option allowed for her. That's what "free" costs her. Now the second future. Here's what Mike Rogers could do for her: Real prices, posted, so she can shop for care. A catastrophic plan, legal at every age, so a broken leg doesn't break her. A doctor for gym-membership money, paid with pre-tax HSA dollars. And break the pharmacy middlemen marking up her prescriptions. Abdul’s plan: her choices outlawed and a lifetime slice of every paycheck. Mike’s lane: her money, her choices, her control. In November, she picks which future. Somebody has to show her the second one exists. Nobody needs a label. No one cares. She needs something to vote FOR. That's the assignment. It’s not hard folks. And that's what serious about winning in November looks like. Let's make Michigan safe, normal, and responsible again! 🇺🇸 @MIGOP @MI_Republicans @Th_Midwesterner @stevegrubershow @MrJustinBarclay @PattyLovesTruth @Rescue_Michigan @elonmusk @timlovesann @mifairelections @TruckerRandy @DonnieDetroit19 @BobDinMI @MrAustinPredict @honestpollster

🚨 Michigan Democrats want another $3 MILLION in taxpayer money to recruit, train and place IMMIGRANTS in Michigan jobs. The program’s stated goal: “100,000 to 125,000 college-educated immigrants to the Michigan workforce by 2030.” The filing already reports $10 MILLION in previous state funding. Now they’re requesting $3,017,000 MORE. Sponsor: Stephanie Chang. Co-sponsor: Mallory McMorrow. The program includes recruiting immigrants and helping those already here qualify for jobs.

BENSON ORDERED CLERKS TO DELETE ELECTION RECORDS. A CLERK SUED. BENSON ASKED A JUDGE TO THROW IT OUT. TODAY HE SAID NO. ON EVERY GROUND. THE CASE IN 30 SECONDS The electronic poll book is the laptop record of everyone who checked in to vote at your precinct. Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson's new state rule says clerks must DELETE it 7 days after the election is certified. Federal law says KEEP it 22 months. Destroying it early is a FEDERAL CRIME. My client, Bridgewater Township Clerk Michelle McQueer, asked the State which law to follow. ELEVEN MONTHS. NO ANSWER. So she sued. WHAT HAPPENED TODAY: - The Court of Claims denied the State's motion to dismiss. COMPLETELY. - The State said she waited too long. DENIED. The court: it "cannot fault plaintiff for waiting." The power to answer her "was completely in their hands." (pp 19, 21) - The State said she skipped the process. DENIED. The court: it "will not support defendants delaying in resolving the administrative proceedings and then fault plaintiff for filing suit." (p 19) - The State said a clerk can't bring this case in any court. DENIED. The court: she sued "to ensure that she ... complies with state and federal law and therefore will not be criminally charged." That's not the kind of case the State's cases are about. (pp 21-22) - And the order protecting her records STAYS IN PLACE. WHAT THE JUDGE WROTE: The State said criminal liability is "speculative" because DOJ hasn't prosecuted anyone yet. The judge, in Footnote 3: "The Court finds this contention to be quite remarkable and reckless." And Footnote 5: "Plaintiff's suit also could derivatively save the SOS from being criminally charged federally." READ THAT ONE TWICE. FROM THE HEARING, SEPTEMBER 16: - To the State's lawyer, first sentence: "Off the top, you lose on the laches." (p 5) - When Benson's lawyer argued the burden on the State: "You're arguing practicalities. But you know what? I have to comply with the law. I have to follow the law." (p 11) - On calling out the State's specious claim that a clerk can't bring this case: "I'm with you on that. You're right." (p 16) - The State's own lawyer, on the record: "You're not going to hear a merits argument from me." (p 11) WHAT'S NEXT: The State now has to defend the rule on the merits, which it has AVOIDED SINCE THE START. Benson's lawyers promised in court to issue rulings on her requests within two weeks. Once those land, both sides file, and the judge decides whether a state rule can order clerks to delete what federal law says to keep. ONE CLERK. TWO LAWS. A JUDGE WHO READS AND CARES ABOUT THE LAW.

Just a reminder, I have a CLEAR plan to put a moratorium on data centers.

Michigan’s workforce training program spent over $59 million to reimburse employers for on-the-job training, rather than fund education to boost skills and wages, a state audit released Thursday found: woodtv.com/news/michigan/aud…
