Midwesterner. Skeptical, particularly of "economic anxiety." Trying to stay open-minded but generally, they are who we thought they were. Michigan fan. Dems need to reckon w fact Trump won 48% of Latino voters. Very disrespectful to Beck.

no matter how sure you are that these guys have broken a whole bunch of laws, you aren't nearly as certain as they are

“Several conservative organizations …— including the Heritage Foundation and American Moment — have pressed White House counsel to either prepare pardons or put in place funding for the legal fees necessary to defend junior staffers from criminal and congressional probes or potential lawsuits.”

Buttkowski needs to take a seat. Whittingham didn’t have confidence in him last week to kick a 52-yard FG with the wind at his back, and today he’s easily missed two FGs. Put in the backup who actually kicked well during the spring game (Buttkowski stunk then, too) #Michigan #cfb

Both of these offenses should be embarrassed. IU may be worse. They’re a playoff team with an experienced QB and an offensive coordinator who does not suck. #michigan #cfb

Not one, but two, anti-Bouchard ads in a row tying him directly to Trump. I’m not sure if enough people will see it, but it’s the right message delivered well

For Democrats to invest on this level they need some billionaires to help, instead of Tom Steyer deciding he wants to play Governor.

Pope Leo XIV will not need further treatment following lung cancer surgery, his doctors said Wednesday. Wonderful news for Papa Leone www.nbcnews.com/world/pope-l...

Once again, I am bewildered that @detroitnews.com @freep.com @bridgemi.com etc have left this essentially uncovered in metro Detroit. A huge sub plot of the last election was just Gaza, but Lebanon. Now, two years later, what do local residents think? Did they make the right choice? We have no idea.

Israeli Defense Minister Katz boasts about wiping out 60 Lebanese villages: "We’re talking about 23,000 homes, in ruins. There are no residents left, 200,000 people have been displaced. This is the Gaza model. That's what we've been implementing." www.newarab.com/news/israel-...

Michigan Political Sign update: the one I ordered a week ago, for $22, from Benson's campaign has just shipped! With any luck, I will get it a week before Election Day. 🙄

Just tried to get lawn signs for my local Michigan Dems. Who decided to make them as hard to get as Pokemon cards? I went to two local offices. The one in Washtenaw had: - No Abdul signs - No Benson signs - One Gilchrist sign (that looked like a truck had run over it) Are lawn signs on the outs?

For the love of all that is holy, how on 2 and 5 can you run another jet sweep or whatever the hell that is called? And Marsh, keep your momentum on 3 and 5!

I'm going to be very disrespectful to Beck. We're just checking the ball to covered one on one guys, with Bryce in the pocket most times If that's all your going to do, switch QBs.

I'm not saying it's bad luck to skip honoring the 90-year old guy who was a Big Ten Champion in 1956 when all the 10-year interval champions come out on the field, but it's not good luck, either. Get it together, Big House

This is exactly what I mean. To a majority of the public, they either don't know about Musk's billion dollar backing of white nationalism or don't care. It's just, "Wheee! Technology!" bsky.app/profile/carl...

...and EV buyers are not really paying attention to lower cost options (e.g., Chevy Bolt, Equinox EV, KIA Niro) but still look at Tesla first & foremost. Elon really isn't that toxic with the general public. I bet the majority don't know / don't care he's a white nationalist etc. That's a problem!

Guy can’t get it over the plate. So keep him in there with the bases loaded to serve a meatball? That’s just bad managing. Could see it coming from a mile away.

These type of tweets are frustrating, and not just Andy Harris is a no-nothing ahole. Add a few words: where did this exchange take place? It looks like it is in public, but I don't know. Could be his hotel room. Just say "...told a reporter in a community center hallway..." or whatever.

Baltimore Banner@thebaltimorebanner.com

Republican Rep. Andy Harris incorrectly told a reporter they were breaking the law as the reporter and others recorded an exchange with him last night. Harris had just wrapped up a debate with Democratic challenger Dan Schwartz.

One thing people on here having reckoned with is not only did Trump wreck the EV market in the US, but the American consumer responded by proportionally buying more Teslas. 2025 had those great Tesla Takedowns, and sales were going down. Now, in late 2026, there are more EV options than ever and...
