KaitlynBuss's tweet card. Staying out of the program will put Michigan competitively behind the majority of the country on education more than it already is.

Buss: Yes, Congress can defund Planned Parenthood detroitnews.com/story/opinion/… via @detroitnews

KaitlynBuss's tweet card. With the “One Big, Beautiful Bill,” the organization faces a loss of taxpayer funding, and an activist judge deployed herself to protect its coffers.

Yes. Writing is not a second thing that happens after thinking. The act of writing is an act of thinking. Writing *is* thinking. Students, academics, and anyone else who outsources their writing to LLMs will find their screens full of words and their minds emptied of thought.

Out of all the things to try to dunk on @JDVance for, posting a video of him rushing to protect his kid isn’t exactly the big win you think it is…

In late 2021, Beydoun told Whitmer’s COO she’d received a nod of approval for Global Link from the MEDC “as the governor requested” + that she’d send over budget “wording” soon. A few months later, Whitmer’s executive budget rec contained a $15M grant program Beydoun championed.

Prior to the AG filing, The News had found one other contact with Whitmer's COO. In July 2021, Beydoun penned a letter to the Qatar deputy prime minister inviting him to Michigan as if it were Whitmer writing it. She indicated the governor should sign it + she did w/in a week.

BBeth LeBlanc@DNBethLeBlanc · Jul 3

For two years, Whitmer's office has remained silent on its involvement with the grant, instead referring questions to a former speaker This week was no different, even after court filings showed her office's knowledge of the grant Story w/ @CraigDMauger detroitnews.com/story/news/pol…
