Karoline Leavitt will go down as the most iconic Press Secretary in history. She is truly a rockstar. I took these pictures on a trip covering the president last year. I would not have had those opportunities if not for Karoline opening up the press office to new independent voices. A mutual friend introduced us at the beginning of this term, and she treated me with kindness and warmth off the bat. She immediately gave me her number and helped me cover events at the White House. I never thought I’d even go to the White House in my life, let alone cover the administration and speak to the president. The DNC wouldn’t even give me a press pass in 2024 because I wasn’t with a major news organization.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, there’s not a young person in politics who does not look up to Karoline. She means the world to millions of young women as well. I’m so excited to see what she does next. My family is everything, especially my mom. Karoline’s kids are blessed to have her. Praying for her and manifesting the absolute best. ♥️🇺🇸🙏
I want Mike Rogers to win. Every serious Republican does.
That's why I'll say it again: labels don't win Michigan. Reasons do.
Kaitlyn Buss got the big one right in the Detroit News this weekend. Rogers and Republicans must tell Michigan what they're FOR. Confront El-Sayed's ideas. Make the affirmative case on affordability, healthcare, housing, energy prices, and data centers.
Like it or not, that's what voters care about. Deal with it instead of ignoring it. Ignore it and you don't win.
But here's the half the column keeps missing: it's not just how you win the argument. It's how you win the turnout. 564,726 Republicans went missing last Tuesday. Fear won't bring them back to the polls. A reason will.
As I've said, no one crawls over glass to vote AGAINST. People crawl over glass to vote FOR. Give real reasons. Give voters something to vote for, and mean it. Unity is built, not simply declared. And it is built by candidates earning voters, not by voters being told to fall in line (hint: that never works).
And run on the real clock, not the calendar. There's no time. Those first ballots go out to our military and overseas voters in just 40 days. Every other absentee ballot follows days later. The primary just proved most votes get banked long before election day. Whoever waits for October will be talking to people who already voted.
My Saturdays this fall go where the fights can be won: the State House firewall and the university boards.
An alarm isn't a prediction. It's a warning and an instruction. Want to win in November?
Let's make Michigan safe, normal, and responsible again! 🇺🇸

@gretchenwhitmer You are the worst “leader” ever. Please go away. Use your FF miles paid for by the taxpayers to fly somewhere past the Atlantic Ocean.
"Something happened in the mid '90s that changed our children."
During a childhood vaccine executive order signing, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says the Trump administration is looking at environmental exposures as it investigates what he describes as an epidemic affecting children.
Kennedy says President Trump has charged HHS with determining which exposure, or combination of exposures, could be responsible.
"Government has an obligation to follow the evidence wherever it leads, to tell the American people the truth and give parents the information they need to make informed decisions for their families."
The early results aren’t what we hoped for. But we have united conservatives to create the MEGA MOVEMENT and we will continue to demand the MEGA Audit, 4747 income tax elimination, property tax reform, and skepticism towards data centers!
The career politicians and special interests may win tonight, but they will not win the future. We will make Michigan great again!
Billions of dollars given away with almost nothing to show for it, millions of dollars per job created, and no way to get it back.
That's the Democrat corporate welfare legacy in Michigan after the last 8 years.
That's why we ENDED the governor's corporate welfare handouts and instead made the budget SMALLER, getting better value for your tax dollars with the things you care about: schools, infrastructure, public safety, & more.

Americans aren't eating enough seafood—even though it's one of the healthiest and most affordable proteins available.
In the first episode of #TheRealFoodShow, @ChefGruel and I discuss why it's time to bring more seafood to the dinner table.

I had a great time stopping by Iron Pig Smokehouse in Gaylord today with Ryan Kelley.
Ian Murphy is the real deal. When the tyrants in Lansing thought they could decide who could stay open and who couldn’t, Ian stood up, took the heat, and fought back. That’s what courage looks like.
Michigan doesn’t need more government control. It needs more freedom.
Thanks, Ian, for never backing down. Patriots like you are exactly why I’m so optimistic about Michigan’s future.
No BS Newshour Episode #427
El-Sayed Scampaign Donors
Elizabeth is a true believer in liberal causes and continues to make small political donations by way of ActBlue—the Democrat online fundraising platform.
(4:36) But somehow, those few dozen small donations she has made have transmogrified into 14,696 donations totaling more than $150,000—the equivalent of eight donations a day, every day for the past five years averaging $9.18.
She says she has contributed to Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic Socialist running for Michigan’s U.S. Senate seat, but not 47 times spanning the last TWO YEARS, as federal filings show.
PLUS- (28:30) Wrapped up like a meatloaf.
The city’s removing soil so toxic the city has to wrap neighboring houses in cellophane.
How poisoned is it?
Why weren’t the neighbors told?
Is the homeowner wrapped inside?
Is El-Sayed's Campaign Funded by Elderly Fake Donors?
ActBlue says an 88-year-old widow has given over $150k to Dems over the past five years, but she says that's not possible
By Charlie LeDuff @Charlieleduff
Milan — Out in the country on a rutted dirt road lined with corn lives an old woman and her dog.
Elizabeth Waffle, 88, was forced to move into a shabby trailer two years ago after her house burned down. She owns an old pickup truck but no computer.
Nevertheless, Waffle, who lives on a modest pension, is a true believer in liberal causes and continues to make small political donations by way of ActBlue—the Democrat online fundraising platform.
But somehow, those few dozen small donations she has made over the past five years have transmogrified into 14,696 donations totaling more than $150,000—the equivalent of eight donations a day, every day for the past five years, averaging $9.18.
“One hundred and fifty thousand?” Waffle said with real surprise. “Hell no. I don’t have that kind of money.”
She says she has contributed to Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic Socialist running for Michigan’s U.S. Senate seat, but not 47 times spanning the last two years, as federal filings show.
El-Sayed promises to get money out of politics. He makes a great show of refusing corporate PAC money. But that’s just wordplay.
El-Sayed does take special interest money. He takes money from his father-in-law. Most concerning, he takes money from ActBlue.
The subject of multiple investigations, the fundraising platform is accused of “rinsing” foreign money and massive private donations by using the stolen names and addresses of real, often elderly Americans to fabricate hundreds of small-dollar donations. Names like Elizabeth Waffle.
ActBlue CEO Regina Wallace-Jones recently invoked her Fifth Amendment rights 22 times during a congressional hearing regarding foreign contributions.
According to FEC campaign contributions compiled by Bob Cushman, ActBlue shows Waffle donating from her trailer, even though she has no computer and spotty internet access. It also shows her donating from an apartment she rented in town two years ago after her house burned down. Sometimes it shows Waffle donating from both the trailer and the apartment on the same day. It shows her donating to out-of-state candidates she’s never heard of.
“This is very abnormal,” said Waffle, who sat in the trailer threshold looking over the paperwork I had brought. “I think it’s wrong, and I think there’s something in there that’s off.”
El-Sayed’s campaign brags that he’s the top Michigan fundraiser off the ActBlue platform, having raised 10 times the money from small-dollar donors than his primary opponent, Haley Stevens.
Stevens has also taken ActBlue money. As has Slotkin, Whitmer, Nessel, Benson, Gilchrist, and the entire Democrat gang.
But it is Abdul who plays the sanctimony card. If he is really serious about getting corrupt money out of politics, then he ought to get off ActBlue and return the money.
Anything else is elder abuse.
