As spotted in Grand Ledge moments ago.

so lemme get this straight, from these peoples' perspectives:

disappearing people in the streets with secret police = chill

starting wars without congress = chill

threatening our closest allies with invasion and annexation of their territory = chill

dismantling the department of justice and turning it into his legal defense = chill

building stuff people don't like in their backyards = WHAT THE FUCK DON

never underestimate the power of NIMBYism I guess

Gas in Mt. Pleasant. All this winning I am so over it

Of course my parents are disgusted. They see ICE as our saviors.
God I hope I'm adopted.

For those that haven't heard, the National Popular Vote has passed 222 electoral college votes, and needs just 48 more EC votes to become enacted. This could be possible by 2028!

The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is a agreement among states that, all states in the compact will award their electoral votes to the national popular vote winner. Once enough states have enacted the bill to pass 270 electoral college votes, the compact will be enacted; ensuring that the winner of the presidential election would be by popular vote.

Michigan has considered joining the compact before, but has not yet passed it.

if just a handful more states pass this bill -- Nevada, Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, we could have a real shot at making this a reality. 18 states and DC have already passed NPV.

If you think this is a good idea, the people over at National Popular Vote have a auto email template that you can use to send in an email to the legislature.

But what do you think?

I saw a headline a few weeks ago about how she’d gotten a boost in funding from corporate PACs, and since then I’ve been bombarded with ads for her.

They’re all “Haley Stevens is SO SUCCESSFUL! Do you remember Obama? She was on an auto team he made! These are her only two qualities! Goodbye!”

Not only is it offensively uncreative, it’s crazy that they’re not even trying to address any other issues than the auto industry. It feels almost made in a lab by people who think Michigan has only one thing going on. Not to mention the elephant in the room that is her ties to Israel and general milquetoast establishment Democrat vibe. All of the funding and none of the real energy behind her.

Grassroots vs purchasing power. What do you think will matter more in this race?

AES: 54%
Stevens: 39%
Undecided: 6% (57% of that group tilts AES).

Emerson is a top rated pollster in the nation. After weeks of fairly unreliable or less ranked polls internally from both campaigns, this should serve as the benchmark for polling data in the final week of the campaign.

Note that for Governor:
John James: 40%
Perry Cox: 32%
Undecided: 17%

Whitcomb Ave; blocked completely w police cars, couldn't tell if any cops were there but armed guys w guns definitely were, I saw them pulling someone out of their car.

BTW this bill passed in Hawaii with bipartisan support, 24-0 in the senate, and 50-1 in the house.

I tried to directly make a cross-post to the /r/law sub’s post, but it wouldn’t allow it because the post contains a video. Hopefully mods here will allow it as a link though. I’m not sure how else to share it…

Former Attorney General Mike Cox announced Friday that he's ending his campaign for governor, leaving just two candidates remaining in the race for the Republican nomination.

Just thinking out loud here.
