Here's the Left of Lansing "Friday Short" for February 20, 2026.

As working class Michiganders keep getting further behind while the billionaire Epstein Class keeps amassing more wealth and power thanks to the Trump Regime, Michigan MAGA Republicans are doing the Epstein Class's bidding by continuing to attack working class programs, like the successful Rx Kids.

Pat Johnston explains how rather than taking action to help working class Michiganders while holding the Epstein Class accountable, MAGA Republicans are devising ways to divide the working class.

We can't let that happen.
