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 […]

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.

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.

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. www.michiganpublic.org/politics-gov...
michiganpublic.org
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.

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.

Godspeed to The Contrarian
CNN’s Brian Stelter reported Monday morning that Rubin had joined forces with CNN legal analyst Norm Eisen to launch a new outlet called The Contrarian, with a tagline “Not Owned By Anybody” that is aimed directly at Bezos and those Rubin describes as the “corporate and billionaire owners” of media outlets who have been revealed to have “compromised principles” in this Trumpian era. Eisen, who is resigning his CNN gig, will be the publisher and Rubin editor-in-chief.

1/IMPORTANT thread about Bluesky funding and origins. Many folks know that it was seeded by Jack Dorsey around a libertarian vision of a magical network that wouldn’t need moderation because it would be decentralized and baked into a protocol (somehow).
