Higher diesel fuel prices are being felt across Michigan’s economy, from farming and trucking to other businesses that depend on diesel-powered transportation to move goods. The higher costs are creating pressure to absorb expenses, raise prices or pass fuel surcharges along to customers. bluewaterhealthyliving.com/n…

Charlie Cook: While many have long predicted that Democrats will enjoy a “blue wave” election, I think of it more as a “red undertow,” which will pull many Republicans under and significantly trim the margins for many others. A blue wave implies an endorsement or affirmation of Democrats and their policies. But Democrats' brand is still in tatters from 2021-2025, particularly 2021 and 2022, when they not only had President Biden in the White House but also majorities in the Senate and House. Fortunately for Democrats, this election will in most cases not be about them. It will, of course, be mostly about the occupant of the White House. Over the last 90 days, President Trump’s political standing has transitioned from very unpopular to toxic and now to radioactive. cookpolitical.com/analysis/n…

Midterms Update: 40 Days Out Doug Sosnik September 24, 2026 "Since early September, there has been a noticeable shift toward Democrats in the upcoming midterm elections. This due to the cumulative effects of a combination of factors that have been building over recent months, including a failed war in Iran, rising prices, brazen self-enrichment by Trump and his family, and the increasingly erratic behavior of an out of touch Commander in Chief. As a result, Democrats are now positioned for gains that looked unimaginable at the beginning of the year."

POLITICO: The rhetorical shift from such a staunch Trump ally is among a series of breaks from the president that Tiffany and other battleground Republicans have made in recent weeks. They’re an implicit acknowledgment that, even in states and districts where Republicans have had success, candidates are suffering from a deteriorating national political environment for the GOP. politico.com/news/2026/09/20…
