It is more like fury for me than displeasure.

So many people have been fighting so hard against the MAGA wave here in Michigan. Do they it are abiut that? Did it only matter when they wanted money? How do we face all of the people whom we convinced to support Slotkin now? They have made complete fools of their supporters.

It is not as though we are asking very much of them. Such a low bar. Kristi Noem? Kristi f-ing Noem??? What a huge "f you" to every Democrat in Michigan.
