Here's the Left of Lansing "Friday Short" for December 13, 2024.

Michigan Democrats are about to give Big Tech billionaires are huge victory this Lame-Duck session as a bill granting millions of dollars in corporate welfare for Big Tech to set-up environmentally-draining  data centers is headed to Governor Gretchen Whitmer's desk.

Why are Michigan Democrats helping Big Tech Trump backers?
