"Let's be real honest: Long term, a 25% tariff across the Mexico and Canada borders would blow a hole in the U.S. industry that we've never seen." -Ford CEO Jim Farley. Trump's tariffs aren't a risk Michigan can afford.

Research teams at UM and MSU are working to make diseases like cancer, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's a thing of the past. Trump's slash-and-burn cuts will set that research back years and hurt our universities and our students.

“With Trump and Musk in charge, two billionaires have decided that pediatric cancer, chronic illnesses, and disease prevention somehow aren’t as important as another tax cut for the 1%." -@LavoraBarnes

Rural kids. Kids with disabilities. Kids in low-income communities. Trump's illegal assault on the Dept. of Education will hurt ALL Michigan kids, but kids who need extra help most will suffer the most if his cruel and foolish plans succeed.

Trump's chaotic "freeze" is already costing Michiganders jobs. This project was set to invest $110 million, bringing good jobs and upgraded infrastructure to Michigan communities.

"The biggest threat of expanding tariffs is the potential for a brutal trade war that could cost millions of jobs...And Michigan, with its outsized dependence on manufacturing, could be one of the biggest victims."

Trump's reckless funding "freeze" is creating chaos for Michiganders. Childcare programs closed. Layoffs at government contractors. Research stopped at UM and MSU. Trump's chaos is bad for Michigan and bad for America.

Michigan will be one of the hardest-hit places in the entire country if Trump’s economic agenda moves forward. Unsurprisingly, when Trump’s administration is led by billionaires, middle-class families are not the priority.

Consumer confidence is plummeting as Trump's tariffs scare Americans and make the markets jittery.

Nothing Trump is doing will bring prices down. Just the opposite, actually. His tariffs will jack prices up, while slashing federal funding means Michiganders will lose jobs, healthcare, childcare and much more.
