I have never seen a statement like this ahead of a joint campaign appearance by two members of the same party.
On the eve of the eve of the eve of our BIG and important election, a unifying moment has arrived, our democratic nominee for U.S Senate disavows the Rebellion PAC ad made by Hasan Piker’s uncle that claims Jews are responsible for America’s economic woes. We have learned from party leaders and emissaries, as reported in the news media that he has. On Sunday I will join with the Great Democratic leader, Jim Clyburn and Dr El Sayed for a church service in the beautiful city of Detroit. The political coalition of Black and Jewish voices that have carried Michigan and this country through so many storms to the righteous path of liberal democracy and equal opportunity for all will ring out. Full statement here:

RFK, meeting with the Kent County GOP alongside Rogers and James, railed against the Muslim Brotherhood by claiming the organization is “why you don’t see any Arab Muslims winning the Nobel.”

RFK: “There's 500 million Arabs in the world, and yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don’t produce literature.” Every aspect of that statement (save Fields) is absolutely false.

This could be interpreted as Musk's political operation just spending money in MI, then documenting "contributions" ex post facto so the expenditures are covered in the filing. It's not exactly kosher, but easy to do when you have a single donor with virtually unlimited cash.

There's one contribution from Musk per day that totals the cost of that day's expenditures, leaving the committee's cash balance at $0 every day, which is certainly eyebrow-raising.

"I want you to pretend that I'm on the ballot," Trump tells his supporters in Port Huron. "When I'm on the ballot we win everything." Mike Rogers lost to Elissa Slotkin when Trump was last on the ballot in Michigan

President Trump just compared voting against Abdul El-Sayed to fighting back against Sept. 11 terrorists. It’s about as close as you could possibly come to calling El-Sayed a terrorist without directly doing so.

Mike Rogers is on stage in Port Huron, talking about Abdul El-Sayed and again raising claims about Muslim Brotherhood affiliations. There’s some exclamations from the crowd: “traitor,” “deport him,” etc

You know, when I woke up this morning I thought to myself “I wonder if I’ll see Nicki Minaj today?” — what a strange coincidence
International rap sensation Nicki Minaj will appear alongside President Donald Trump in Port Huron, Michigan, on Sunday as he continues his final push to support Republican candidates ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. washingtonexaminer.com/news/…

In Port Huron for President Donald Trump’s rally this afternoon. It does seem like there were more people in line than this relatively small venue can accommodate.
