Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said she and her husband regret what she described as his “failed attempt at humor” when he invoked her position while allegedly asking a dock manager to get the family boat ready before Memorial Day.

At a Tuesday briefing on the COVID-19 crisis, Whitmer said she would not be responding to every report about her and her family but wanted to […]

Devastating floods in Michigan have forced thousands to evacuate after the failure of two dams – one of them a known safety risk – raising questions about decaying infrastructure the president and governor have both vowed to fix. With the 2014 Flint water crisis still in recent memory, Gretchen Whitmer was elected governor largely on promises to repair Michigan’s infrastructure, adopting “Fix the Damn Roads” as an edgy campaign slogan while insisting the state had to “get serious” about rebuilding its streets, highways, bridges – and dams. Following days of heavy rains, however, Tuesday night saw the sudden collapse of two […]

Daily Beast: People in Michigan are facing historic floods on top of the coronavirus pandemic—but, rather than offering some help, President Trump has threatened to make things even harder.

Guardian: Following a week of escalating tensions over threats of violence made against Michigan’s Democratic politicians and an ongoing, emotional debate over Gretchen Whitmer’s stay-at-home order, dozens of conservative protesters descended on the state capitol on Thursday morning. Some arrived armed with assault rifles while others held up signs portraying the governor with a Hitler moustache and one speaker taunted police and called for Whitmer to be pulled outside and arrested for breaking the law with her emergency orders. But the fears of serious violence that had preceded the event proved unfounded. Instead, a steady downpour and lightning pushed most of the protesters to their vehicles […]
