The reason for the return is the regular check-up of the nursing home. There has been a little cramp in the knee and back. The rapid balance of the weather forces the warm working community and the work that has been considered significant. The health condition has been good for a long time. The whole family is in good shape. One could even say that the health is like a priest.
Me keskitymme terveyteen, jotta joulupukki voi keskittyä tärkeimpään. Terveystalo on joulupukin virallinen työterveyskumppani. Olipa kerran hyvä haltia, joka loihti taikasauvallaan herkullisen jouluaterian kaikille metsän asukeille. Siinä oli tarjolla jos jonkin maista herkkua. Oli rosollia, silakkaa, kinkkua, laatikoita, graavattua lohtaja. This burns me up. And I'd like for the record to show that every single Republican, five of them on this committee, either did not show up or left during your presentation. Is that how much they care? I am burnt up over this. You're emotional. I'm pissed. This is unbelievably sad.

And that was Michigan State Senator Dana Polhanke. And you heard her right there as she learned during this testimony that the Trump regime was defunding and shutting down a state program in Michigan to bring solar energy to low-income communities. which would have reduced energy bills by at least 20% and could have created even more than 700 jobs. And you saw that the Michigan Republican state senators refused to even be there because they didn't want the optics on camera of what it is they're actually inflicting on the people in Michigan. People in Michigan are pissed. They see how the Trump regime's policies and the MAGA Republican policies there are hurting things based on their conspiracies about energy and how that's impacting jobs and affordability issues.
Ben Meiselas 2:18
And people see their health care being gutted as well. You know, in Michigan, you have the Senate, which is controlled by Democrats. You have the Michigan House controlled by Republicans. And Governor Whitmer in Michigan is a Democrat. But you have a full fledged MAGA Speaker of the House in the Michigan House. His name is Matt Paul. And you'll see here again, he says, you know, the hospitals that are shutting down, they should be saying, thank you, Donald Trump. Thank you, Michigan MAGA Republicans. Here, play this clip.
Matt Hall (clip) / Republican speaker (clip) - Unknown 2:47
Yeah, one of the biggest lies I'm hearing are from the hospitals. And I really think they should consider replacing their leadership. Is his name Brian Peters? Yeah. Not a very good leader. He's leading their organization in a direction toward the Democrat Party. But I look at this. I mean, you don't hear it. When are the hospitals going to say thank you to President Trump for the $250 million Michigan's expected to get from the one big, beautiful bill for rural hospitals?
Ben Meiselas 3:19
cutting a trillion, when are you gonna say thank you for that 250 million, which is still gonna result in you going bankrupt? And affordability is a big issue in the Michigan Senate campaign for the United States Senate. I'll tell you, my favorite ad recently across the board throughout the country was state Senator and the majority whip in the Senate, Mallory McMorris, that she's running for United States Senate in Michigan.
Mallory McMorrow 3:45
and her ad on affordability again i think is the standout ad so far at least of this political season here play this clip football is back and seven hours of commercial free football is not this is just the latest example of corporate greed ruining the things we love because it's not just commercials on tv it's also your grocery store run where chicken wings are going to cost you 19 bucks or a bag of chips, five bucks. Even beer is getting more expensive. It's a one-two punch. Tariffs that are making everything more expensive and corporations that are squeezing every last dime out of us. And if at some point this season you're headed to a game, you can expect to pay all kinds of fees on top of an already expensive ticket price.
Mallory McMorrow 4:33
We have a system that caters to billionaires and corporations over everyday people.
