Where were my Senators? AWOL @SenatorSlotkin @SenGaryPeters
Today there was an incredibly important Senate hearing on protecting women’s sports. Not one Democrat showed up. Do not call yourself a women’s-rights advocate if you refuse to show up when it matters most. America’s daughters are watching. They deserve leaders who will defend Title IX and fight for their future.

Dear Michelle Obama. Since you can’t seem to remember how blessed you are let me school your muthafuckin miserable ass. You are married to the first Black president in American history. You are the first Black First Lady in American history. Because of that, you and Barack left the White House with a net worth of over $100 million. Your Black ass got a multi-million-dollar book deal. You and your gay ass husband walked away with a $60 million Netflix deal. Yall own mansions. Yall own beachfront property. Yall own stock in major corporations. Yalls kids and grandkids and great grandkids are set for life. And yet you got the muthafuckin nerve to still be going on that fucked up podcast of yours whining like you picking cotton in 1855 instead of sipping champagne in Martha’s Vineyard. No Black American woman will ever be as privileged as you are bitch. So sit your ungrateful, race-hustling ass down and thank the country you spent 8 years shitting on. America gave you EVERYTHING skank. The least you could do is shut the fuck up and smile about it ho.

🚨 Did you know this will be on your Michigan ballot in November... Michigan voters are being asked a pretty extraordinary question: Should we open up Michigan’s Constitution and potentially rewrite it? This is Proposal 1, and whether you’re Republican, Democrat, independent—or completely sick of politics—you should understand what this means before filling in that bubble. Here’s the 5th-grade version: Think of Michigan’s Constitution as the rulebook for our state government. It establishes the basic rules for things like the Legislature, governor, courts, elections, taxation, education and local government. Michigan's Constitution requires us to be asked every 16 years whether we want to hold a Constitutional Convention—or “Con-Con.” That's why this is appearing now. The last time voters were asked, in 2010, about 67% voted no. So what happens if Michigan votes YES? We do not automatically get a new Constitution. Instead, Michigan would hold another election within six months to choose 148 delegates—one from each of Michigan's 110 state House districts and 38 state Senate districts. Importantly, those delegates are elected in partisan elections. Those delegates would meet in Lansing and could propose a general revision of Michigan's Constitution. And here's the part people really need to understand: There isn't a predetermined list of three or four issues they are allowed to address. A convention could consider relatively modest changes—or potentially propose sweeping changes to Michigan's governing document. But there is one HUGE safeguard: The delegates don't get the final word. WE DO. Whatever constitution or amendments emerge from the convention must ultimately go back before Michigan voters. If voters reject the proposal, our existing Constitution remains. 🤔 So why might someone support it? A convention provides an opportunity to examine a Constitution written more than 60 years ago, clean up outdated provisions and consider structural changes that are difficult to accomplish through individual amendments. Supporters can reasonably argue that government, technology and Michigan itself have changed enormously since 1963. 🤔 And why might someone oppose it? Because opening the entire Constitution also creates uncertainty. Special-interest groups, political parties, unions, businesses and advocacy organizations could spend heavily trying to influence which delegates are elected and what provisions they pursue. A convention would also cost taxpayers money, consume significant time and could ultimately produce something voters reject anyway. And here's what I think voters should be asking themselves before November: Do you trust 148 newly elected delegates to open Michigan's entire rulebook? Are there problems with our current Constitution significant enough that individual constitutional amendments aren't enough? Who will fund the campaigns to elect these delegates? Which organizations will try to influence them once they're in Lansing? What parts of our Constitution would you absolutely NOT want changed? And perhaps the biggest question: Is opening the whole Constitution an opportunity to improve Michigan government—or an unnecessary risk when we can already amend the Constitution one issue at a time? There are arguments to be made on both sides of this one. So don't vote YES because somebody tells you it's a chance to “fix Michigan". And don't vote NO because somebody tells you opening the Constitution is automatically dangerous. The official ballot language asks whether elected delegates should convene in 2027 to draft a general revision of Michigan's Constitution, which would then be presented to voters for approval or rejection. The official 2026 Michigan ballot question will look like this: Shall a convention of elected delegates be convened in 2027 to draft a general revision of the State Constitution for presentation to the state’s voters for their approval or rejection? Know what you're actually voting on. Ask questions. Read the arguments. Then make your own decision. Because this little question on your November ballot could start a very big and expensive process. michiganpublic.org/politics-…

Nikole Hannah-Jones did not sacrifice her daughter's education for equity. That would be stupid. No, NHJ sacrificed her daughter for vanity. And that's evil. Let's stop pretending this woman has any moral authority. She's a huckster who wants the next byline, the next book deal, the next media hit.

Not mentioned in Nikole Hannah-Jones’ bombshell piece: Current @doechancellor Kamar Samuels served as Brooklyn’s District 13 superintendent in 2019 to 2022, overseeing the middle school that the writer’s daughter complained had killed her hopes of getting into a specialized high school. Samuels also oversaw struggling PS. 307, where Hannah-Jones now regrets sending her daughter. Then-PS 307 principal, Stephanie Carroll, is now the DOE’s Director of Literacy, and the school still shows abysmal reading and math scores well below the city average. nytimes.com/2026/09/20/magaz…

Read what @nhannahjones wrote. Putting her choices on trial is a waste of everyone's time. Instead, this essay should have us all talking about why racism still so powerfully shapes the education our children receive—and what we’re going to do about it. nytimes.com/2026/09/20/magaz…

Don't let the self-pitying fool you. NHJ was a bad parent, not because she sent her kids to underperforming schools. NHJ was a bad parent because her kid didn't know how to write and do math, and NJH didn't know that her kid didn't know how to do math because NJH never sat down and watched her kid write and do math, like a good parent would. nytimes.com/2026/09/20/magaz…

A 100,000 Michiganders voted uncommitted against the Biden-Harris ticket in the primaries. They knew Biden and Harris were playing both sides. ElSayed deplores AIPAC but seems to be able to ignore the $9M Harris took.
Most of the people I’m seeing criticize Abdul El-Sayed for campaigning with Kamala Harris don’t live in Michigan. Well I do and I want Abdul to win. The fact is, campaigning with Harris will help him win in a state like MI and no amount of Twitter discourse will change that.

You say this like its a bad thing. What is really going to happen is that people will realize they don't need CNN, NBC, CBS, or ABC anymore. And that's a big win for the truth.
A major showdown for Trump vs TV networks With CNN banned, they cannot fill their pool slot, which means that nothing Trump does today will appear on any cable or news network.

Flying back to Atlanta tonight, I sat next to a Muslim guy. I asked the flight attendant for a shot of tequila. She politely asked him if he’d like a drink. He looked at her as if she’d insulted his whole family and said, “I’d rather have a dozen whores than let liquor touch my lips.” I handed the tequila back and said, “I’ll take what he’s having. Didn’t know that was on the menu.”

Prominent Abdul El-Sayed supporter and former DNC member Liano Sharon, a signatory of the “Michigan Jews for Democracy” letter voicing support for El-Sayed, stated today that Haley Stevens should not face the death penalty because, “I don't support the death penalty, even for neo-Nazis.” Sharon also said that the statement, “We will see you at the gallows,” “carries a very appropriate sentiment.” He added, “Reichstag legislators were sentenced to the gallows at Nuremberg for similar legislative support for Nazi atrocities as Stevens gave to Zionist atrocities. Why should our legislators be treated differently if the investigation concludes they committed neo-Nazi atrocities?” Sharon did not stop at Haley Stevens; he also implicated Michigan Democrats Elissa Slotkin, Gary Peters, Debbie Stabenow, and Shri Thanedar. When I asked him if he thought Vice President Kamala Harris was a "neo-Nazi," he told me, "It is fair to say that her conduct meets the definition of that term." Harris is campaigning with Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan next week.

Abdul El-Sayed supporters aren’t joking when they say they want to send Haley Stevens to the gallows and me to a gulag. I’m calling on Democrats to pull their endorsements from El-Sayed and his vile movement. @JocelynBenson @RepDebDingell @ElissaSlotkin @GaryPeters
