Doug Lloyd @DougLloyd4ag · 6h One of the first things I intend to change as Attorney General is how long it takes to review criminal cases.

Whether it’s the mother in Wexford County who was told to call back in a year after asking whether her child’s murderer would be charged, a fraud victim who waits years without answers, or officers who were left sitting on the sidelines for over a year before being cleared in a shooting, the amount of time the Attorney General’s office takes to review criminal complaints is completely unacceptable.

As your Attorney General, I’ll prioritize the work of the Criminal Division and make sure the office does its job to serve and protect the people of Michigan.

Doug Lloyd is with Republican Attorneys General Association and Michigan Republican Party in Lansing, MI. a day ago1d · Hear it directly from Leyna, a survivor of human trafficking. Eli Savit claims he supports survivors, yet he completely dismissed 45 survivors who met with him to urge him to reconsider his stance. That is completely unacceptable. As Leyna puts it: "It feels like a slap in the face." We cannot allow someone in the Attorney General's office who ignores victims and puts his radical ideology above public safety. Eli Savit is far too dangerous to be Michigan's AG. See less

The staff for the Americans for Citizen Voting petition in Michigan went above and beyond, turning in signatures MONTHS before the certification deadline — but the Bureau of Elections slow-walked the process until August. Just when it looked like the petition would fail by just a few signatures, the team acted quickly and STILL acquired SIGNED AFFIDAVITS for a quarter of the signatures in question — and the State Board of Canvassers THREW THEM OUT ANYWAY.

a day ago1d · MDHHS claims no improper payments were found in their contracts with MPHI BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T EVEN CHECK. Nearly 70% of reviewed financial status reports had NO supporting cost documentation. MDHHS paid out $108 million before ever reviewing proof that the work was done. You can't find improper payments if you're not looking. Thankfully, House Republicans are looking. Eliminating waste, fraud, & abuse in state healthcare programs is how we SAVED Medicaid for the people who truly need it and how we're going to ensure the program remains available for years to come.

A department that size handling $435 million in agreements with a single outside nonprofit should come with real oversight. Instead, auditors sampled 20 agreements worth $90 million and found deficiencies in every single one. Government needs more accountability, not less. That's what House Republican Oversight is here to fix. See less

Citizens for Prison Reform Today was a big step in the advocacy efforts of Citizens for Prison Reform in advancing legislation to regulate the usage of Solitary Confinement (Segregation) inside Michigan prisons. We are grateful for the courage and comittment of Senator Stephanie Chang in taking up our Bill and working scrupulously over the last year to draft and finalize legislation that was introduced today in the Senate as SB1192 and SB1193. The next steps are to move the Bills through Committee and back to the floor for a Vote. Help us #UnlockTheBox in MDOC and #OpenMIDoor. See less

Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo @ezekieldachomo0 My beloved brethren, I greet you all in the precious name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Today, I write with tears in my eyes and a pain in my heart that words cannot fully explain.

I have buried people I loved. Members of my own family have been killed. Church members who worshipped with us, prayed with us and served God with us have been taken away from this world. People who woke up in the morning expecting to return to their families never came home.

The federal government is seeking to seize nearly $18.8 million in cash, bank funds, and precious metals as part of a civil forfeiture case alleging a Detroit-area behavioral health provider defrauded Medicaid and used forced labor involving people receiving treatment.

The complaint, filed Tuesday (Sept. 22) in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, names funds held in multiple bank accounts associated with Quality Behavioral Health Inc., as well as accounts connected to Naveed Syed and Packard Hotels Inc.

The government is also seeking cash and precious metals seized from two properties in Troy.

Nearly every incarcerated male youth in a new University of Michigan study experienced some form of prior physical abuse.

Nine in 10 were exposed to at least mild physical abuse, one-third suffered severe prior sexual abuse, and two-thirds reported adverse childhood experiences, according to U-M researchers, who looked at incarcerated adolescents ages 13-20 at a single all-male juvenile detention facility in Michigan.

“What really stuck out to me most was the sexual abuse rate, that 70% of them had at least some exposure to sexual abuse,” said Suzanne Perkins, research assistant professor at the U-M Institute for Social Research. “I’ve worked with a lot of kids, so very few things upset me in the work that I do. But when I saw that statistic, I just burst into tears. I couldn’t believe that it was such a high statistic.”

She was also proud of her heritage and cultural identity. Jaquoya was a Native American Woman’s Traditional Dancer, and she was a member of the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians as well as the Walpole Island First Nation. These connections were a meaningful part of her life and who she was.

Mariam Solaimankhil @Mariamistan · 2h We have spent years telling the world what is happening to Afghan girls. But there is another generation being destroyed in plain sight: our boys.

I have seen too many videos of little boys being violently beaten and humiliated under Taliban rule. They are learning fear, cruelty and violence when they should be learning, playing and dreaming.

Our girls are being erased. Our boys are being brutalized.

Afghanistan’s children are living in hell.

Doug Lloyd @DougLloyd4ag · 5h My office, the Eaton County Prosecuting Attorney's Office, and the Eaton County Courts have successfully secured justice by prosecuting many sexual predators. Now the actions by the Supreme Court will allow several of those individuals to be removed from the Sex Offender Registry once they are released.

Michigan’s county prosecutors strive to protect their communities. Time and time again the Actions of the Michigan Supreme Court, and the legislature, limit what they are able to do. That is completely unacceptable and the people of Michigan must demand change.

MIDistrict9 @MIDistrict9 · 6h Vote No on Proposal 1

Before we talk about rewriting Michigan’s constitution, people need to understand something most Republicans still don’t know.

For more than 35 years, the Republican Party was placed under a federal court order that applied to Republicans nationwide — without the knowledge or consent of ordinary Republican voters, activists, or most state parties. This was not a normal lawsuit limited to one state. It became a nationwide restriction enforced by one, activist judge in New Jersey.

In 1982, after a dispute involving one election in New Jersey, the Republican National Committee agreed to a consent decree. That decree was later expanded and kept in force until the end of 2017.

Under it, the RNC — and by extension all Republican efforts across the country — was restricted from conducting basic election-integrity and poll-watching activities. Democrats faced no such restriction.
