WASHINGTON — The objective of the Democrat-run House Jan. 6 select committee is clear: to make sure Donald Trump is never elected president again. So why are Democrats doing everything in their power to ensure that Trump wins back the White House in 2024? They chose Joe Biden as their ...
Whenever a citizen dies at the hands of law enforcement, the public is owed a full accounting of why it was necessary to use lethal force. The federal government has yet to explain the decision by agents to shoot and kill Eric Mark-Matthew Allport outside a Madison Heights restaurant in October 2020. Allport, 43, was not a sympathetic figure. He lived next door to, and was friends with, Randy Weaver, whose wife and son were killed in an FBI siege at Ruby Ridge, Idaho, in 1992. He later served an 11-year sentence for shooting at police officers and supported the anti-government ...
The state Senate has passed a bipartisan measure to pause the gas tax and sales and use taxes on fuel between now through Sept. 15. The state House needs to pass the measure without delay.

Want to help Michigan with cleaner air and water? Want to provide cooling summer shade and a haven for wildlife? Start with a tree. Pick one out at your local nursery, plant it and then pin it on the Michigan Department of Natural Resources’ interactive map. The DNR invites residents to help in planting 50 million trees by 2030 through our Mi Trees campaign.

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services is urging Michigan residents to take steps to protect themselves from risks related to hot weather. MDHHS routinely reviews emergency department data for heat-related illness. As daily temperatures rise above 80 degrees, ED visits for heat-related illness tend to increase.
