## Resource

Michigan’s House Republicans are in chaos as Rep. Jamie Thompson threatens to skip work until internal tensions ease, while Speaker Matt Hall hints he may bypass the governor entirely to handle the budget directly with the Senate. Hall downplays the drama, calling Thompson a key player who’ll return. Meanwhile, Democratic Rep. Alabas Farhat urges Republican leaders to step in, mediate, and hold people accountable—warning that party infighting should take a backseat to the looming budget deadline. The coming days will reveal whether this turmoil derails critical legislative progress. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
