Bill Huizenga, Mike Rogers, and Tudor Dixon are all-in on Trump’s mission to make life worse for everyone – except for billionaires. Living in Michigan just got a lot more expensive for over 430,000 hardworking families. The latest move? Firing the entire staff of the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and refusing to share how they will allocate the funds – because for Republicans like Trump and Brown, billionaire tax cuts are more important than families having heating in the winter and AC in the summer.
As CNN noted, Mark Wolfe, the executive director of the National Energy Assistance Directors Association, said that the move will “definitely hamper program operations” and that he doesn’t see how the administration can “allocate the remaining $387 million in funds for this year without federal staff.”
With no direction as to where these funds are going outside of DOGE’s billionaire slush fund or how they will be used, and with Huizenga, Rogers, and Dixon backing this incompetent administration’s disastrous economic agenda that will produce constant chaos, this decision is effectively a cut to a lifeline for working Michiganders and a tax hike on families.
“I can’t believe I’m saying this, but Republicans need to hop on another Signal group chat and figure their shit out — because their incompetence is getting costly. Over 430,000 Michiganders and their families are facing higher costs for everything, from groceries to keeping the lights on,” said Nico Delgado, spokesperson for American Bridge 21st Century. “Michigan Republicans and Trump are doubling down on an agenda that only helps the rich while working people pay the price.”
