An eternal *exasperated sigh* moment for education experts came during a property tax question in last week’s gubernatorial debate. My fact check of the candidates, ft. @PeterSpadafore weighing in on one of the most misunderstood aspects of Michigan school funding ⬇️
During Thursday evening’s gubernatorial debate between Democrat Jocelyn Benson and Republican John James, the candidates fielded a question from an audience member about property tax relief and how they might approach backfilling any lost state revenue.

Billions of dollars’ worth of contracts predicting oil would fall and the S&P 500 would rise were placed about 15 minutes before Trump announced a U-turn on Iran in a post on Truth Social. CFTC staff began to investigate-- then were told to lay off. bloomberg.com/news/features/…
Watched the first 20 minutes of the IS Senate debate in Michigan. That’s enough. No minds will be changed.

Mike Rogers is a corporate sellout who moves back to Michigan every few years to run for office to take another swing at the revolving door of corporate politics.

A week after this House vote, James told reporters today, "I'm going to be doing everything that I can to make sure that we're working with all sides to help bring about a quick end."

Just a reminder that HOMES is the best mnemonic device ever and the alternative for Lake America would be SHAME.

For those interested in reading tea leaves in the Democratic lieutenant governor selection process:
Ingham County Democrats now advertising an upcoming fundraiser to kick off state Sen. Sarah Anthony's reelection bid.
I don’t particularly enjoy fireworks, I think football could be safer (especially for young athletes), and I don’t think Americans should go broke because they get sick. Color me radical, I guess.

El-Sayed: Now Mike, I'm just going to remind you: if you don't know how to say the name, keep the name out your damn mouth. Or just call me Abdul. But I got some opinions about his name. See, it's very fitting for him: Rogers.
Cause that's his answer every time a corporation or Donald Trump tells him to do something.
"Mike, we need you to put a data center in the backyard." — "Roger!"
"Mike, we need you to hike their prescription drug prices." — "Roger!"
"Mike, we need you to rubber-stamp this war we shouldn't be fighting." — "Roger!"
"Mike" — and this one's Donald Trump — "I need you to lick these boots." — "Roger!"
And I think—I think I speak for all of us here in Michigan when I say that we are done with Rogers. Go back to Florida where you belong!
It's mornings like these when I can understand why someone would spend $4,500 on a coffee maker.

Lawrence is intro’d for the first time as the Dem nominee in MI-07. Then goes in on Tom Barrett’s OBBBA vote — this isn’t a major departure from his primary messaging, which was very general election-focused. Lawrence likes to say he’s been running against Barrett for a year.
