Michigan House caucus fundraising Jan. 1, 2024-April 20, 2024: House Democratic Fund: $2.2 million House Republican Campaign Committee: $1.3 million
I get emails thanking me for my work. I get some with constructive criticism, which I appreciate. Then, there are a few like this, which point to a sentiment that shouldn't be ignored: "I will be in participation when you are all arrested for Treason against the USA!"
"There's not a great system for punishing someone if they were to lie on this form," says @CraigDMauger "Right now there is no consequence except public shame," says @ZachGorchow #createdequal
"It's all about conflicts of interests," says @zgorchow from @GongwerMichigan when asked why personal financial disclosures matter.
Today marks 10 years since Flint - while under state management - switched its water from Lake Huron to the Flint River, setting in motion a crisis that’s become synonymous with the city’s name. A decade later, wounds are still deep + frustrations endure. detroitnews.com/in-depth/news/…

Breaking: Grand jury indicts 11 Arizona "fake electors" who falsely certified Donald Trump as 2020 winner in Arizona azcentral.com/story/news/pol… via @azcentral
The Gateway Pundit, the conspiracy theory site accused of engaging in a “campaign of lies” about two Black Georgia election workers, has declared bankruptcy mediaite.com/news/the-gatew…
Ingham County Judge Kristen Simmons says she won't issue a ruling on whether the false electors cases go to trial until after another set of electors go through their examinations, which will last into early June.
The Michigan false electors examinations are about to conclude. The defense lawyers aren't going to call any witnesses, it appears.
NEWS: Michigan prosecutors consider former President Donald Trump and some of his top aides co-conspirators in the plot to submit a certificate falsely claiming he won Michigan's 2020 election. detroitnews.com/story/news/pol…
NEWS: Asked if a number of high-profile people are un-indicted co-conspirators in the Michigan false electors investigation, Howard Shock, special agent for Attorney General Dana Nessel says Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani and Mark Meadows all are un-indicted co-conspirators.
Back for the 6th day of prelim exams in the Michigan false electors cases. Howard Shock, special agent for AG Dana Nessel, just acknowledged he's not personally sure whether the certificate of votes (left) was attached to the signature sheet (right) when the doc was signed.
The best Seinfeld episode right here.
The best Seinfeld episode right here.
Quite an afternoon in court. A lawyer for one of the Republican electors who signed a certificate falsely claiming Trump won Michigan's election said his client felt misled by the Trump campaign and tied the document directly to a campaign staffer. detroitnews.com/story/news/pol…

@CraigDMauger “Reporter for the Detroit News reporter.” At least they have sharp editing
These signs are remarkably helpful. I've worked in downtown Detroit for nearly 17 years and still get turned around while walking. I know, I'm not very bright. These navigation markets are welcome in a city with actual cool things to see and on par with many cool cities.
@CraigDMauger @MLive You and I both know I'm overqualified for that role, Craig. Ball goes in basket. Operation successful.

@detroitzoo We all know what it will be:
Man, although I’ve been a reporter for a while, it gets me every time people say they read my work. Three or four people on the soccer field came up to me to say they read my coverage last night and liked it. I know our work is a public service but these moments hit differently.
