if folks consistently attack the media for bias and partisanship, the best way to combat that is to applaud them when they do it right and not let agendas guide their actions. Propublica did it right here. Maybe folks should give them a break. 10/10

Today’s the day, Michigan! I’ve signed the Building Michigan Together Plan. I can’t wait to see this plan, which includes the largest infrastructure investments in state history, in action! ✍️
This is promising. It's hard to capture the energy you feel when you're here for a bit but big things are happening in GR. There's a novel energy, enhanced by a sense of community and tradition, that's tough to explain. You just gotta experience it. grbj.com/news/health-care/in…
I've always said, my military retirement allows me to take the job I WANT instead of the one I NEED. Keep an eye on the public sector because it impacts things more than most realize. politico.com/news/2022/03/31…
