That’s basically the story of the past 25 years. Matty Moroun and his spawn have been calling billionaire buddies to argue for their permanent monopoly on bridge crossing between Detroit and Windsor for as long as I’ve lived in Michigan. It didn’t work on Rick Snyder, thankfully. Even still, the only way it got past the #MIGOP legislature back then was Canada calling their bluff on funding.
We should be grateful for Canada.
This is what the #MIGOP specializes in: messaging stunts.
That bill won't ever even get a committee hearing. https://mastodon.social/@gerowen/115415997567278628
@IveyJanette The 10th is mostly Macomb County, with a nubbin of Oakland County (Rochester.)
His Democratic opponent Carl Marlinga almost beat him for the seat in ’22, When a Trotskyist (WCP) and a Libertarian each drew substantially more than the margin of victory. The same 4 candidates were on the ballot this year.
#MIGOP, #AFPAction and other slime have been mailing us non-stop junk for JJ and slinging the mud at Marlinga.

This is who I hope will be my Congressman next year.
Is he an exciting political rockstar who is on the path to becoming POTUS someday? No.
Is he really representative of #MI10? Yes.
Unlike the odious John James, who only beat him by a few hundred votes last time despite the #MIGOP pouring money into the race, Marlinga has a strong record of public service in the district. He’s not going to be looking for the next higher office to run for. https://mas.to/@rmazzara/113188550533071318

@Nonilex It’s a stunt. #MIGOP controls nothing in Lansing these days so they can only grandstand for their voters. Tomorrow is the #MichiganPrimary and #Republicans are always trying to prove themselves gun-crazier than each other.

Trump’s endorsement of Hoekstra could help quell MIGOP chaos, strategists say
As the Michigan Republican Party remains divided between two chairs, former President Donald Trump has weighed in on the dispute.
In a post on his Truth Social account Friday, Trump shared his support for Pete Hoekstra, who some members of the party elected as chair at a Jan. 20 meeting. Hoekstra, a former U.S. representative, served as an ambassador to the Netherlands during the Trump administration.
“Pete will make The Republican Party of Michigan GREAT AGAIN, and has my Complete and Total Endorsement to be its Chairman — HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN,” Trump wrote.

RNC lawyers initially find Kristina Karamo ‘properly removed’ as MIGOP chair

Election denier Kristina Karamo voted out as Michigan Republican party chair | Michigan | The Guardian
A group of Michigan Republicans voted on Saturday to remove Kristina Karamo as state party chair after months of infighting and slow fundraising raised concerns her leadership would hurt the party’s chances in the key swing state in 2024.
Karamo, a former community college instructor and election-denying activist who was elevated to her post in February, has indicated she would not respect Saturday’s vote, setting the stage for a potentially messy court battle over party leadership.
At a special meeting called by critics of Karamo, nearly all of the state committee members present voted to remove her from her post, according to Bree Moeggenberg, a state committee member who helped organize the meeting in Commerce Charter Township.
“We have voted to remove Kristina Karamo as the Chair of the Michigan Republican Party. It is now time to collaborate and grow forward,” Moeggenberg said in a statement.
After running unsuccessfully for Michigan secretary of state in 2022, Karamo ran for the party’s top position with a promise to break free from the big donors she vilified as part of the “establishment” while expanding the base of small donors.
She has failed to deliver on that promise while angering many of her supporters with what they have called a lack of transparency from her administration. Contributions from the party’s largest donors have dried up, leading to a cash crunch.

'Put an end to the chaos': GOP leaders in swing state say party is 'on the verge of imploding'
Infighting within the Republican Party's ranks has not only been apparent in the halls of Congress: It's now also threatening the stability of the GOP's operations in a state that's played a deciding role in the last two presidential elections.
According to a Saturday report in the New York Times, eight of Michigan's 13 Republican congressional district Republican Party chairs have now co-signed a letter asking Michigan GOP chair Kristina Karamo to resign and "put an end to the chaos." The letter came after approximately 40 of the party's state committee members called for a meeting to discuss Karamo's future by the end of the year. However, that meeting has yet to take place. Meanwhile, the Mitten State's Republican leaders are growing more anxious by the day about their party's outlook next year.
"The Michigan Republican Party is on the verge of imploding. I have more money in my campaign account than the state party has in its,” State Representative Mark Tisdel said. “Sooner or later, the creditors are going to come calling.”
