Michigan GOP governor candidates: We’d welcome National Guard in Detroit MACKINAC ISLAND — After Vice President JD Vance offered last week to send National Guard troops to Detroit if Gov. Gretchen Whitmer asked, Republican candidates vying to replace her said they’d take the Trump administration up on the offer.  Three Republican contenders — Senate Minority Leader Aric Nesbitt, former House Speaker Tom Leonard and former […]

I don’t understand how journalists can stand it. Twitter is a foul sewer of morons, MAGA, and full-on fascists now. I only go there to catch up on a couple folks I love who only post there. Then I get off and take a shower.

Makes me sad but I understand. The both sidesism and timidity is hard to take sometimes.

Is there a mainstream tv station, cable station, or streaming service that hasn’t given cash to Trump admin so I can watch without shame or guilt?

An extended Krystallnacht, one Home Depot or home roof job at a time.

Charlie Kirk should not have been murdered for using his words to spread hate and bigotry and divide this country. In death he should not be sanctified for a life used to inspire people's worst demons to target the marginalized.

A political talking head on NPR said Kirk’s killing is as big an event as 9/11. And he was serious.

The president is lying

It’s not hard to say.

TRUMP’S TARIFFS IN FULL SWING!

Look at Trump’s Truth Social post. Consider his call with Newsom. He is incoherent, insane. Failure of corporate press to say that every day as he is taking us down the road to a police state is the gravest journalistic malpractice in American history. They will never redeem themselves.

Pipeline permit changes could help protect Kirtland's warblers in Michigan state park The Environmental Law and Policy Center says it successfully requested changes to a pipeline company's right-of-way renewal permit from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

A good news story for Michigan's Kirtland's Warblers.

Nurse practitioners, doctors disagree on impact of bill to end doctor involvement in NP practices A bipartisan bill would change state law to allow nurse practitioners to provide primary care services without a contract with a supervising physician.

MI nurse practitioners v doctors on bill to lift requirement for supervising doctors over NP practices. NPs say MDs aren't involved anyway, but take lots of $ in some cases for doing almost nothing. MDs say current system is safer for patients.

It’s amazing to me that the headline on every single mainstream newspaper and show is NOT “President attacks rule of law with mass pardons of J6 criminals.” Shocking and tragic how complicit our media is in normalizing the assault on democracy.
