My first books are here!
I wanted to share this moment with my kids, so I waited for my boys to get home from school before opening the first box!
Bucket list moment for sure!

We went down a big rabbit hole with @MichiganCFN's latest FOIA investigation!
What we found demonstrates the difficulty with filing FOIA requests in Michigan now:

This one FOIA request would've cost us $1,690.92 and potentially 100 business days.

Awful: Delivery of life saving treatment to nearly 400,000 severely malnourished kids abroad is in doubt amid USAID firings, the product's manufacturers tell me.
