Whitmer seeks $150M for megasite prep after market rejects $261M Mundy site

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s proposed 2026-27 fiscal year budget includes $150 million to spend on new public infrastructure for megasites.

The proposal comes after the state spent $261 million on site preparation at the Mundy megasite that spans about 1,300 acres in Genesee County. That money was spent, in part, on buying residents out of their homes and then demolishing 43 buildings for a project that never came.

Michigan Capitol Confidential obtained a copy of the demolition map through a records request.

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel should sue to stop more houses from being demolished, according to Rep. Steve Carra R-Three Rivers. Click here to read more.

 

DC judge apologizes to alleged White House correspondents’ dinner shooter for jail treatment

Washington, D.C., judge on Monday apologized to the suspect who allegedly opened fire during the White House Correspondents’ dinner last month for how he has been treated by authorities in jail.

Cole Tomas Allen, a resident of Torrance, California, was placed under suicide watch at the D.C. jail because he allegedly told the FBI that he expected to die during the shooting. Suicide watch protocols mandated Allen remain on a 24-hour lockdown in a “safe cell,” with no phone access to call or receive visits from anyone other than his legal team.

Prosecutor Jocelyn Ballantine claimed that since Allen told investigators he did not expect to survive the alleged attack, he could pose a danger to himself. Click here to read more.

 

Michigan Supreme Court bans ICE from courthouses — and during ‘reasonable and direct travel’ to and from

Starting Friday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement is banned from arresting illegal immigrants at courthouses, or during “reasonable and direct travel” to and from, the Michigan Supreme Court decreed Wednesday.

“Parties, attorneys, and subpoenaed witnesses are not subject to civil arrest while going to, attending, and returning from the places they are required to attend,” the rule issued Wednesday reads. “No officer of any of the several courts of record, including jurors, shall be subject to civil arrest while going to, attending, or returning from any actual sitting of the court of which he is an officer.”

The rule, proposed in November, came at the urging of the American Civil Liberties Union, immigrant rights activists, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel and Democratic lawmakers, garnering about 2,500 comments during a monthlong public comment period. Click here to read more.

 

New Jersey expands nurse freedom, improving patient access to care

Trenton, New Jersey; March 31, 2026: New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill signed a law yesterday increasing experienced nurses’ freedom to treat patients without mandatory physician oversight agreements. The law exempts advanced practice nurses with more than 5,000 hours of experience from joint protocol requirements when providing primary or behavioral health care, expanding access to care for patients across the state.

“When you trust qualified nurses to do their jobs, patients win,” said Jaimie Cavanaugh, Senior State Policy Counsel with Pacific Legal Foundation. “Nurses shouldn’t have to pay a physician to serve patients they are also qualified to provide care for. Today, New Jersey joins a growing number of states recognizing that nurse freedom and patient access go hand in hand.” Click here to read more.

 

Self-Checkout Is Under Fire Across the Country. Is Theft Really the Reason?

Self-checkout machines are in the crosshairs. In recent months, numerous states and localities have considered legislation to curtail the use of automated checkout in grocery stores. These bills are often positioned as part of an effort to cut down on retail theft, but it appears the driving force behind them is to create more unionized jobs.

According to USA Today, at least six states have considered rules that would restrict self-checkout machines. The states range from blue Connecticut to red Ohio, but it doesn’t stop there. Two cities in California already have self-checkout limits in place, while New York City is currently considering restrictions as well.

Self-checkout restrictions are often framed as a commonsense crime prevention measure that projects grocery store workers and cuts back against the recent uptick in retail theft nationwide. But when it comes to these bills, the fine print points toward a different motivation. Click here to read more.

Close the backdoor drug pipeline that’s emboldening enemies and harming the public

It’s not often that Congress gets a do-over or can correct the unintended consequences of the laws they pass. As a former acting secretary of Homeland Security, I saw first-hand how legal loopholes are exploited — by both U.S. entities and our adversaries — and their impact on the American people. That impact can largely be classified as either a public safety or ational security threat, and in many instances — both.

Today, we are seeing such impacts playing out with the highly potent drugs made with hemp-derived tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) flooding the market with largely unregulated distribution to America’s youth. Click here to read more.

 

Covid-19 vaccine injury program paid for one death in March, denials exceed 98%

The federal government’s Covid-19 vaccine injury compensation program paid benefits for seven injuries in March, including one death.

As of April 1, the program has compensated 51 of 6,944 claims decided, while denying 6,847 — a denial rate exceeding 98%.

The March payment marked only the second death benefit issued since the start of the pandemic.

The Countermeasure Injury Compensation Program (CICP), created under the PREP Act, is the primary path for claims related to Covid-19 vaccines. The law shields manufacturers from liability during public health emergencies. Click here to read more.

Playing Cops: Criminals Pretending To Be Police Is a National Problem

Working at a 24/7 bodega in the heart of Brooklyn, Tajuken Deli employees are prepared for almost anything – except having guns pointed at their heads by cops.

That’s what seemed to be happening one early April morning last year, when four armed men dressed in police uniforms flashed their badges, yelling “NYPD” as they stormed the neighborhood shop. Surveillance video shows one worker being quickly knocked to the ground and zip-tied into submission before being dragged to the back of the store. Another worker and customer were also subdued as the masked thieves dressed as cops made off with cash and a bag of lottery ticket receipts before fleeing in a dark van.

“You don’t know who to trust nowadays,” local resident Danny Taylor told a TV reporter. Click here to read more.

 

UFO whistleblowers issue chilling warning after Air Force officer was found dead before he could testify

UFO whistleblowers are facing alleged attempts to silence them as they move to expose what they believe are some of America’s most closely guarded secrets.

Investigative journalist Jeremy Corbell, who has helped bring multiple whistleblowers before Congress, warned that the risks facing these individuals extend far beyond public scrutiny.

‘They’re giving up their security clearance, they’re giving up their security, they’re putting their family at risk, they’re putting themselves at risk, if by stigma alone,’ Corbell, who details several cases in his upcoming film Sleeping Dog, told the Daily Mail. Click here to read more.

 

Big Brother Is Riding Shotgun: Driver

WASHINGTON, D.C. – A new surveillance era is set to get behind the wheel next year.

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, passed by Congress in 2021 and billed as a way to help the country recover from the COVID-19 shutdowns, included a statute requiring new cars to have driver-monitoring systems. The goal is to detect impaired drivers through cameras and sensors that analyze eye movement, head position, and alertness.

U.S. Senators Gary Peters and Debbie Stabenow (now retired) voted for the bill. In addition, then-House Representatives Dan Kildee, Elissa Slotkin, Andy Levin, Haley Stevens, Debbie Dingell, and Brenda Lawrence, all Democrats, voted yes. GOP Representative Fred Upton, now retired, also voted yes. Click here to read more.
