Michigan House Speaker Matt Hall was met with cries of “shame” after he ripped back $645 million in already-approved funding for programs that support pregnant women, babies, kids with cancer, veterans, education, and local community projects. These weren’t bloated budgets or wasteful spending. Hall’s cuts hit a nonprofit that provides wigs to children undergoing cancer treatment and an organization that supports child survivors of sexual assault. House Speaker Matt Hall is calling this responsibility. It’s cruelty dressed up as governance. And even inside the GOP, the move is raising alarms. Rep. Jon Bumstead (R-Muskegon) said the state should stand by the promises it already made in the budget. When people yelled “shame,” they weren’t heckling — they were calling out a betrayal.

🚨BREAKING: DONALD TRUMP HAS FALLEN ASLEEP AT HIS 80TH BIRTHDAY UFC FREEDOM 250 EVENT.

.@MelatKirosCO was going to have a rally with @Justinjpearson, @DonavanMI13, & @hasanthehun right now but all the venues & vendors canceled their contracts last minute after what seems like calls from Diana DeGette's real estate lobby friends. But you can't silence a movement.

This family can’t even not crime for one event. Everything is a fucking grift. EVERYTHING, ALL THE TIME

Lolololololololololo

UFC Freedom 250 is facing a chaotic weather setup on the White House South Lawn, with a 60% chance of thunderstorms, heavy downpours, and wind gusts up to 34 mph threatening to delay the outdoor fights. On top of the storm risk, brutal D.C. humidity is driving a triple-digit heat index alongside massive swarms of mosquitos and gnats that fighters will have to battle inside the cage. While the venue’s massive 92-foot overhang will keep the octagon dry, a single lightning strike within eight miles will trigger an automatic 30-minute freeze on the entire event.

More in Matthew Moroun donation news: He gave gave MAGA congressional candidate @BouchardforMI Mike Bouchard Jr. $7,000 at the end of Q1 2026, just weeks after the Gordie Howe Bridge controversy exploded. Since then, Bouchard has been completely silent about the Moroun family’s role and refuses to speak out. We can’t know what that check bought. But the timing and the silence raise serious questions. This is exactly why we need to elect candidates who refuse MAGA donor money and corporate PAC cash. When politicians take billionaire or corporate money they stop speaking for the people.

Interesting connection between the bridge scandal in Detroit and a democratic congressional candidate for MI-10. Matthew Moroun gave $1 million to Trump’s MAGA super PAC. He also gave the maximum $7,000 to Tim Greimel’s campaign for Congress in Michigan’s 10th District. Now the Moroun family is reportedly helping delay the Gordie Howe Bridge to protect its Ambassador Bridge profits.

"Donovan McKinney grew up in a UAW family, and he’s spent his career fighting for working families, not corporate donors. His economic platform is simple: if you work for a living, you should be able to afford a living. In Congress, he’ll stand on our picket lines, defend our pensions, and fight for trade policy that prioritizes Michigan's workers' needs." — UAW Region 1 Director LaShawn English "Donovan McKinney understands that when health care isn’t tied to your job, workers bargain with far more power. He's committed to fighting for Medicare for All in Congress because he knows that no worker should ever have to choose between a paycheck and their family’s health. He won't back down on that fight, along with many other critical fights for us in Washington.” — UAW Region 1A Director Mark DePaoli"Donovan McKinney understands that when health care isn’t tied to your job, workers bargain with far more power.

For decades, Big Oil has bought off politicians of both parties. I’m disappointed to see my opponent hosting a DC fundraiser hosted by senior Exxon officials. This isn’t what Michiganders want. We want leaders who have the guts to stand up to Big Oil, not take their checks.

🚨OMG! PEOPLE ARE CHEERING AS CONTRACTORS GET CLOSER TO REMOVING TRUMP’S NAME.

Very unfortunate that the Stand Up for Sudan Act has been lost in the news cycle. This is a necessary bill in order to end the violence in what the UN has called “the epicenter of human suffering in the world”. Please call your congressperson and ask them to co-sponsor the bill
