DTE thinks they can provide us unreliable service, jack up our electricity bills, build a data center anywhere they feel like, and now add a credit card fee?

While Trump was marauding Venezuela and his ICE murdered a mother of three, his policies cost 1100 UAW workers their jobs.

I’ve worked alongside law enforcement to keep our communities safe. ICE is not law enforcement—it’s lawlessness in the name of Trump’s power.
So like I said in 2018: Abolish ICE.

Maduro is a terrible dictator who oppresses people. Of course he sucks.
But so do so many of the thugs Trump so gladly does business with—Sisi, Netanyahu, Milei, Bukele, etc.

The answer is oil and only oil.

Donald Trump ran on “America First,” a promise to end the era where we waste our taxpayer money waging regime change wars over oil abroad. Last night, he violated that promise, wasting our money in an unauthorized act of regime change war.
