Bridge Michigan invites readers to a free Zoom discussion from noon to 1 p.m. on Feb. 26 about the impact of President Donald Trump’s policies on Michigan and its residents.

Join Bridge’s deputy editor Jonathan Oosting for a discussion with enterprise reporter Ron French and Capitol reporter Lauren Gibbons on this coverage and our commitment to follow what is happening in Washington and how that reverberates here in the Great Lake State.
