Here's the Left of Lansing "Friday Short" for August 15, 2025.
MAGA Michigan House Speaker Matt Hall is proudly joining his Dear Leader Donald Trump in punching the state's working class in the gut.
Hall hailed the MAGA Murder Budget is a "win" for Michigan, even though hundreds of thousands will lose their Medicaid and food assistance. Even more, thousands of jobs are getting slashed due to The Regime's war on clean energy.
Hall and his MAGA supporters in the Michigan House are willing to shutdown the state government unless Democrats agree to slash spending for schools, health care, and jobs so that the corporate donor base receives another tax cut.
Hall's been described as the "Trump before Trump."
Judging how Trump's so-called economic policies are damaging Michigan to no end, it's imperative that Democrats re-take the state House to stop Hall.
