I have said it before and am sad I have to say it again: there is absolutley no place in America for political violence.
Regardless of your political views, there is no good that comes from the killing of someone for exercising their right to free speech. Charlie Kirk was a political figure, but more importantly, he was a father and a husband. Increased political violence will not solve the problems facing our country — it will only make them worse. We must all do better. ... See MoreSee Less

Recently, House Speaker Matt Hall claimed STARBASE is a “phantom program” and nothing more than “waste, fraud, and abuse” in the state budget. Now, House Republicans are patting themselves on the back for gutting its funding.
If they spent less time talking in front of cameras and more time listening to the people of Michigan, they’d know that STARBASE isn’t just an existent program — it’s a thriving one.
