Gov @GovWhitmer took a $219K trip to Australia to promote mobility and innovation. On the trip, she claimed 38K auto jobs secured in her administration. In reality, Michigan is down 9K auto jobs over her term. Jobs announced ≠ jobs created. bit.ly/44KHCCX

Is this economic development…. 9,000 miles from Michigan?

Remember @GovWhitmer's trip Down Under? She spent $220,000 on the trip and brought along her friends from the MEDC. michigancapitolconfidential.com/news/whitmer-s…
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer spent $219,622 on her 11-day June 2025 trip to Australia, according to documents obtained through a records request. michigancapitolconfidential.com/news/whitmer-s…
Is this why we can’t fix the roads?

Whitmer spent over $200,000 on this trip. @MichCapCon brought the receipts.
I just touched down in Australia on an investment mission to strengthen Michigan’s international manufacturing and business ties. Australia continues to be a strong partner building opportunities in Michigan’s growth industries, from mobility and defense to clean energy.
If @GovWhitmer can give $2OM to a donor, can we spend $8M to stop $14M of SNAP fraud?
📣 PRESS RELEASE: Michigan taxpayers lost $14 million to SNAP fraud last year alone. Lansing should pursue low-cost solutions to rein in fraudulent spending, to ensure taxpayers see a greater return on investment with their tax dollars. michiganforwardnetwork.com/press-releases…
Why won’t Michigan fix its SNAP program?
Governor Whitmer has NOT announced a specific, formal plan targeting the recent spike of food stamps fraud 🚨 Michigan SNAP fraud up 400% in 2024 💳 $14M stolen via cloned Bridge cards 🔁 269K+ cards replaced (738/day) 👮♂️ Few prosecutions, weak card security
Can @MDHHS_Director please fix Michigans SNAP program? The program gets robbed every year. A fix would cost $8M.
Once again, millions stolen from Michigan taxpayers while Democrat leaders in Lansing continue to turn a blind eye. We need MI DOGE quick!
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer spent $219,622 on her June 2025 trip to Australia, @MichCapCon has learned.
President Donald Trump signed a spending bill into law on July 4 that will shift responsibility for about $890 million of food stamps to Michigan. The state can’t pay the bill, according to Michigan’s top executive. michigancapitolconfidential.com/news/michigan-…
Michigan lost more than 125,000 auto jobs over the last two decades — a 41% drop — while Alabama, South Carolina, Tennessee, and other states gained tens of thousands. michigancapitolconfidential.com/news/michigans…
This is one of many reasons why Michigan can’t fix its own roads but can offer $6B to an unnamed company.
Michigan taxpayers are unknowingly footing billions through a sneaky earmark loophole, using vague budget language to funnel money to favored businesses and bypass constitutional oversight. mackinac.org/blog/2025/snea…
