Today, President Biden will speak in Detroit about his positive, winning vision for Michigan \u2013 a stark contrast to Donald Trump\u2019s dark plan to enact an extreme agenda with the help of his Project 2025<\/a> allies. If Trump gets his way, Michiganders\u2019 rights, freedoms, and livelihoods will be put on the chopping block. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf Trump\u2019s Project 2025 becomes a reality, the lives of Michigan families will be completely upended. Not only will Trump make his handouts to the ultra-wealthy permanent at the expense of working Michiganders, but he will also try to use every avenue to rip away reproductive freedom and their health care,\u201d said DNC spokesperson Stephanie Justice<\/strong>. \u201cMichiganders recognize that so much is at stake in November and that President Biden is the only real leader running at the top of the ticket. President Biden has bolstered Michigan\u2019s middle class, brought back tens of thousands of manufacturing jobs to the state, and remains dedicated to defending Michiganders\u2019 freedoms. Michigan voters know exactly how much is at stake in November, and they\u2019ll reject Trump and his Project 2025 agenda once again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump\u2019s tax scam \u2013 which he wants to extend if given a second term \u2013 gave the richest 1 percent of Michiganders an average of <\/strong>$52,230<\/strong><\/a> in tax cuts while Michiganders in the bottom 20 percent of incomes received <\/strong>$50<\/strong><\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBS News<\/a>: \u201cTwo years after Trump tax cuts, middle-class Americans are falling behind\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Guardian<\/a>: \u201cThey were billed as a \u2018middle-class miracle\u2019 but according to a new book Donald Trump\u2019s $1.5tn tax cuts have helped billionaires pay a lower rate than the working class for the first time in history.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forbes<\/a>: \u201cTrump Tax Cuts Helped Billionaires Pay Less Taxes Than The Working Class In 2018\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Economic Policy Institute<\/a>: \u201cThe TCJA overwhelmingly benefited the rich and corporations while overlooking working families\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ProPublica<\/a>: \u201cIn the first year after Trump signed the legislation, just 82 ultra-wealthy households collectively walked away with more than $1 billion in total savings, an analysis of confidential tax records shows.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After failing during his first term, Donald Trump is threatening yet again to repeal the Affordable Care Act and cut protections for as many as <\/strong>4.1 million<\/strong><\/a> Michiganders with preexisting conditions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Associated Press<\/a>: \u201cTrump says he will renew efforts to replace \u2018Obamacare\u2019 if he wins a second term\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CNN<\/a>: \u201cObamacare would be even harder to kill now, but Trump promises to try anyway\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Axios<\/a>: \u201cFormer President Trump revealed that he\u2019s \u2018seriously looking at alternatives\u2019 to the Affordable Care Act<\/strong>, calling the failure to repeal and replace Obamacare during his administration \u2018a low point for the Republican Party.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump and Project 2025 are collaborating to push an extreme anti-choice agenda to ban abortion nationwide, restrict contraception access, and allow states to monitor women\u2019s pregnancies \u2013 undoing all of the work Michigan Democrats have done to protect abortion access.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rolling Stone<\/a>: \u201cInside the MAGA Plan to Attack Birth Control, Surveil Women and Ban the Abortion Pill\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe attacks on mifepristone and resurrection of Comstock stand out as particularly harmful proposals, but they are only two of the dozens of ways the Republicans behind Project 2025 envision restricting access to abortion and contraception if they win the White House next year.<\/strong> Elsewhere in the document, there are proposals to eliminate the morning-after pill from the Affordable Care Act\u2019s contraceptive mandate under the rationale that it is a \u2018potential abortifacient.\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heritage Foundation<\/a>: \u201cConservatives have to lead the way in \u2026 ending<\/strong> \u2026 senseless use of birth control pills.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hill<\/a>: \u201cTrump: It\u2019s up to states to monitor pregnancies, prosecute abortions\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Axios<\/a>: \u201cThis is undeniably a Trump-driven operation.<\/strong> The biggest tell: Johnny McEntee \u2014 one of Trump’s closest White House aides, and his most fervent internal loyalty enforcer \u2014 is a senior adviser to Project 2025. One of the most powerful architects is Stephen Miller, a top West Wing adviser for the Trump administration.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Politico<\/a>: \u201cOn Tuesday, the Trump campaign sent a letter to pro-Trump, external organizations asking them to attend an \u2018entirely off-the-record, private,\u2019 and \u2018invite-only\u2019 meeting with senior campaign officials, according to a copy of the letter obtained by POLITICO. The sit-down, which the letter describes as a \u2018meeting of the political minds,\u2019 is aimed at discussing \u2018collaborat[ion]\u2019 and \u2018priorities and plans\u2019 for the general election<\/strong>. […]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy holding the meeting, the Trump operation and the third-party entities could conceivably get on the same page about their plans. Two people familiar with the planning for the event said Heritage Action and Turning Point Action were among the pro-Trump groups invited<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Politico<\/a>: \u201cMany of the authors of the blueprint are former Trump officials, and the Heritage Foundation has spent the past year-plus recruiting people to implement the plans within the administration<\/strong>, Scott said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018So they don\u2019t just have a long, sprawling policy document,\u2019 he said, \u2018they also have a growing list of staff who are being tested to see if they are loyal to Trump and if they are willing to administer this in his potential administration.\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New York Times<\/a>: \u201cRoberts told me that he views Heritage\u2019s role today as \u2018institutionalizing Trumpism.\u2019 <\/strong>This includes leading Project 2025, a transition blueprint that outlines a plan to consolidate power in the executive branch, dismantle federal agencies and recruit and vet government employees to free the next Republican president from a system that Roberts views as stacked against conservative power. The lesson of Trump\u2019s first year in office, Roberts told me, is that \u2018the Trump administration \u2026 simply got a slow start. And Heritage and our allies in Project 2025 believe that must never be repeated.\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
