“Make Them Riot!”
Some of the stories on our radar this week:
  • Jack Smith’s blockbuster court filing on Defendant Trump’s criminality leading up to the January 6th insurrection includes revelations about the election night chaos at Detroit’s counting center
  • The Trump campaign is all-in on lying in paid advertising as well as at his increasingly boring rallies
  • Republicans for Harris officially launches with Mark Cuban one of the national leaders, and former GOP Congressman David Trott co-chairing the Michigan chapter
  • JD Vance leaves open the possibility a Trump administration would pull the plug on federal support for a major GM plant in Lansing
  • The FBI reports crime rates continue to plunge, so the Trump campaign (of course) continues to claim crime is out of control
  • You can add The Boss – Bruce Springsteen – to the A-List of big name celebrities backing Harris-Walz. All of them are people so well known that they are identified with a single name: Taylor, Beyoncé, Magic, Barbra and Oprah.
