This is wild and very cool. Hasn’t missed a vote in her almost 30 years in the Senate!

Senator Susan Collins (R-ME, @SenatorCollins) 10,000 consecutive roll call votes.

I get why Larkin wants out but his play in March was a major reason Detroit fell off.

- 11 games from Feb 28-April 7 without an even strength goal.

- 9 games from March 2-April 4 without an even strength point.

UGH. I get that he hasn't produced the way we expected and has issues with management but sad to see a hometown kid want to go.

Dylan Larkin has requested a trade from the Red Wings, per @FriedgeHNIC.

This is why it's meaningless to just look at the pipe going into the home for broadband quality. Huge capacity and low latency doesn't matter if the same can't be said of your home Wi-Fi network.

House member flubbing Senate rules, part 5,476

House members need to stop claiming they understand the filibuster. Signed, a recovering Senate snob/current House staffer.

[Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur]

Bizarre moment at the Michigan Senate debate after Haley Stevens says “the filibuster must go.”

She adds that Democrats “should use the filibuster to not allow the big ugly bill to pass that increased our debt.”

Pressed on whether she opposes or supports using the filibuster, Stevens says: “We should remove the filibuster so Democrats could have voted down the legislation, the tax bill.”

That is not how the filibuster works.

Removing it allows all Senate bills to pass at 51 votes. It would not have allowed Democrats to stop Trump’s tax bill, which was already exempt from the filibuster.

Time for Michigan to move away from elected university boards. (And convention nominations for SOS and AG while we’re at it.)

[John Lin @johnlin88]

Awful news. Joe was a great representative and an incredible professor.

Michigan lost a great one today.

Proud to be a Team Schwarz alumni today and everyday.

Sgt. Nicole Gee didn’t just give her life for our country. She also gave us one of the most powerful photos of our 20 years in Afghanistan.

There is no greater humanitarian than the American warfighter.

[Danny Deraney @DannyDeraney]

Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend

There’s only one right answer and it’s Coke Zero.
