Michigan Democratic Attorney General Dana Nessel has been on a crusade against the president, stacking lawsuits, firing off statements, and positioning herself as the state’s leading anti-Trump warrior.
From pushing back against Trump’s spending freeze to demanding answers about Trump’s cabinet nominees, Nessel seems committed to spending her term as Michigan AG as the D.C. swamp’s loyal defender and the face of Michigan’s anti-Trump resistance. Her relentless stream of emails about the president makes that crystal clear.

One of Nessel’s latest attacks on Trump focuses on his executive order to temporarily halt federal financial assistance. The order is aimed at reviewing funding allocations to ensure they align with his policy priorities.
A federal court ruled in favor of Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel and a coalition of 23 attorneys general in this matter recently, enforcing a temporary restraining order that blocks the Trump administration from halting nearly $3 trillion in federal funding. The court ordered President Trump and federal agencies to restore funding for essential programs immediately. Nessel called the ruling a victory but vowed to continue the legal fight to ensure the administration complies, calling the attempted funding cut “unprecedented, reckless, and illegal.”
Nessel has followed up on this lawsuit by filing additional legal motions against the Trump Administration for allegedly not complying with a court order to release federal funding. In a ruling on Monday, U.S. District Judge John McConnell ordered the Trump administration to “immediately” lift its federal funding pause until he determines whether to impose a longer-term block while the case proceeds.
