Some of the most meaningful moments on the campaign trail have been spending time up in the Sault with the Bay Mills and Sault tribes. We must protect tribal sovereignty, protect our Great Lakes, and ensure everyone can get a good job and know that our basic rights and dignities are preserved.

WELKER: If you were elected, would you vote to repeal some of President Trump's tariffs? MIKE ROGERS: The best way to do this is to talk in and say, 'Can we work this out?' I'm not even in office yet. (That's a no!)

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

My healthcare system (at a local medical teaching hospital) is reeling over research and other healthcare cutbacks, yet the OSMA PAC supports a morally bankrupt man whose party wants to kill off the elderly and sick? I knew Ohio was seriously screwed up but WTF?

Harvard is a bank and a brand that uses its education wing as cover for their corporate operation. Investing in SpaceX is investing in Grok, which is investing in extremism.

Ronan Farrow reported in a 2023 New Yorker piece that the Pentagon signed a contract to keep Musk from cutting off Ukraine’s battlefield connectivity at will. Colin Kahl described it as a way to lock in service so Musk couldn’t just flip the switch, considering Musk's known antipathy towards Ukraine

Show me where in the US Constitution it says “Two people with similar names shall not be allowed to run for the same office. Only the incumbent may.”

When more than $20 million of defense contractor Navatek’s priorities made its way into the defense budget, CEO Martin Kao seemed to thank Susan Collins for making it happen. And it appeared he was keen to return the favor. Listen to this excerpt ⤵️

When I originally posted that Elon Musk slowed StarLink and StarShield service to Ukraine, seriously eroding Ukraine's ability to intercept Russian jet-powered drone and missile attacks on civilians, various responders tried to lecture me that "Musk cannot throttle StarShiled." He did. 1/2

Official communication from SSA that reads like a MLM Ponzi scheme. Rest assured if you give them any info it will be used in unexpected and fraudulent ways.

Replace "Boeing 737s" with "empty warehouses" and you've got the same play that DHS under Noem pulled. And a source on background told us in February the sales were meant to help well-connected Trump affiliates offload industrial properties that were liabilities on their books.

Tantalizing new clue here from @markalfred.bsky.social on the failed “deportation fleet.” I first reported in February that DHS contractor (a former Noem donor) overpaid for the planes, starting last December. gillianbrockell.com/noems-luxury...

Jon Stewart on Mike Rogers: “He was a real pain in our ass in 2010 when we fought for the Zadroga Act for 9/11 first responders. He called it a New York problem and voted against it, all while claiming to respect the heroes of 9/11. It was all bullshit.”
