Here's the Left of Lansing "Friday Short" for September 5, 2025.

A story in Bridge Michigan today explained how The Trump Regime's policies in blocking international students from attending Michigan higher education institutions is having devastating economic effects on both our higher education system, but also Michigan's overall economy.

Combine that with the MAGA Murder Budget, Dear Leader's insane tariff scheme, and The Regime's overall attacks on higher education, Michigan is bearing the brutal brunt of the failed Trump economy that's leaving the working class behind.

Left of Lansing is now on YouTube as well!
