Two stories at the top of @npr.org 3 pm newscast. US elections and Israel elections. Both stories focus on polls. Early and absentee voting is isn’t mentioned, although a million Michiganians have already voted. That’s lazy.

The intro to @npr.org 11 am spot said DOJ raided Ilhan Omar’s Ohio home. She lives in Minnesota. Maybe fix in the next Newscast?

Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti/Saline Township: got that right.

At the 4 pm ET hour, @npr newscast did two Trump stories and did not use audio clips. They read his quotes and included context to counter what he said. Keep that up.

Good thing the Dodgers have clinched the NL West.

I have no proof it is just a hunch but I think Shohei is going on the IL. We’ll see how this ages.

ICYM my @bostonglobe.com column on Carney vs Trump, here it is in print.

Wow this Cubs game. Not over yet!

Again for the people in the cheap seats.

I got an MMR booster last spring - I don’t have a record of when I got my original shot, and we have had measles cases in Washtenaw County. Hopefully we don’t have a serious outbreak.

The share of U.S. kindergartners with exemptions from school vaccine requirements for the 2025-2026 school year rose to another record high, as the country battles its worst measles resurgence in 35 years.

Do we believe the shoulder mounted missile launcher thing?

Am I understanding this correctly: 1) New AF1 is delivered without the security of old AF1. 2) He insists on flying in it. 3) Iran threatens the plane. 4) They land in Turkey, remove him in a delivery truck and put him on another plane. 5) Everyone else is left on the non-secure plane.

It is just wild to see the Michigan I live in characterized by people who do not live in Michigan.

He has been a nice surprise in a mediocre Tigers season.

To paraphrase The Natural, I believe there are two Michigans. The one we live in, and the one the national media has created. You all give me good laughs and also make me want to throw my phone against the wall.

It is so wild to see out of towners analyzing the Dem MI Senate race. You’re getting so much wrong.

Chicago political news.

This is a garbage return and no one can convince me otherwise. But the wheels were set in motion when the Tigers disrespected him in arbitration.

Maybe you’ll like it. Maybe not.

They deserve better, via @politico.com

Just a reminder: in 2024, 61% of Michigan votes were early or absentee ballots. Early voting begins on Saturday. Absentee ballots went out in late June. Election Day itself (Aug. 4) is when a smaller portion of voters will cast ballots.

Betting NBC is kicking itself that it will be airing a bullpen game instead of Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s 1st regular season MLB complete game.

Trivia: I met Ricardo Montalban.

Did you know there have been many film adaptations of The Brothers Karamazov and William Shatner made his film debut in one? You will if you listen.

Allez Les Bleus! 🇫🇷

Is a Democrat in name only A DINO? I can think of several.

You all are going to take Mamdani seriously now, aren’t you.

OF Ben Malgeri will wear number 53. Last worn by RHP Chase Lee in 2025. #Tigers

Michigan is trying to find a new president. It just signed a new football coach. Now it has to find a new men’s basketball coach. Turbulent times in Ann Arbor.

“29 lives here.”

Happy Juneteenth to everyone! Red drinks in honor of the ancestors.

When it comes to being an orator, Michelle Obama is equally as good as her husband.

It’s worth checking out Macron’s IG posts from G7. He’s a chess player.

“Summer blues.” People worry about feeding their families and how they’ll manage if they get sick. They’re scrambling to afford higher gas prices.

Here’s what you need to know about a Memorandum of Understandung: 1) It’s a memorandum. Not a signed agreement. It has no legal bearing. 2) Of understanding - what each side believes to be true, but which is not stated to be true. Again, no legal bearing. Take it with a grain of salt.

We interrupt the news to show you these beautiful Michigan strawberries.

Can you imagine Eisenhower tweeting his plans for the invasion on the night of June 5? Me, neither.

And yet, he keeps surviving.

Prediction: the CBS regime will be gone by fall.
