LANSING, Mich - Three weeks from an election in which the state will likely play a prominent and potentially deciding role, Michigan has one of the most bloated voter rolls in the nation.

The state currently has 8.4 million registered voters, according to the latest records obtained by Bridge Michigan, nearly 500,000 more than the number of people in the state who are old enough to vote.

It’s the biggest imbalance among Great Lakes states and one of the largest in the nation.

While critics say the inflated rolls are not ideal, no one is suggesting they have contributed to fraud. One major cause of the imbalance: A voter-approved 2018 proposal that automatically registers those 18 and older to vote when applying for a driver license, unless they opt out.

The Republican National Committee sued the state in federal court over the issue in February, demanding the state trim the rolls.  The GOP in 2020  filed a similar suit, which was dismissed after thousands were removed from the rolls.

A spokesperson for Democratic Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, who has been named in multiple lawsuits, said the complaints are part of an effort to sow distrust of elections. Click here to read more.

LANSING, Mich - Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s Council on Climate Solutions was staffed with people funded by at least one climate advocacy group, according to administration records obtained under the Freedom of Information Act.

Whitmer created the council and other departments via Executive Order 2020-182, which was aimed at fulfilling the MI Healthy Climate Plan.

Emails obtained by the nonprofit organization Government Accountability and Oversight show how staffing decisions were coordinated with an activist group in New York.

In June 2019, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel agreed to talk to the New York University Law School State Energy and Environmental Impact Center. The center funds 17 law fellows who serve as special assistant attorneys general in various states, Skip Pruss of the consulting firm 5 Lakes Energy told Nessel’s office in an email.

“State AGs recruit and select their own law fellows. (Although the program is completely transparent and ethical, it may engender backlash),” Pruss wrote to Nessel. “The IC pays all costs associated with its services. Five states have a formal agreement (attached) with the Impact Center for pro bono services - NY, MA, MD, MN, and WA.” Click here to read more.

 

LITTLE ROCK, AR - Donations for an Arkansas man named Aaron Spencer, 36, poured in online this week, after Spencer was arrested for killing 67-year-old Michael Fosler, whom Spencer found with his missing 14-year-old daughter.

According to a Facebook post from Spencer’s wife, the family had a no-contact order out against Fosler for allegedly stalking their daughter over the summer. Back in July, Fosler was reportedly arrested by another agency for internet stalking of a child and sexual assault.

“This man had a no contact order for stalking/graping (sic) our child,” Heather Spencer said in the Facebook post. “We absolutely called 911 during the entire event. We had no idea this man was in contact with our child again.”

“He was looking at the rest of his pathetic life in jail, and our daughter was the only witness,” the post continued. “We 100% in the moment thought he had taken her to kill her.”

Spencer, who’s been released since posting bond, was arrested on a preliminary charge of first-degree murder, which is a Class Y felony, and booked into Lonoke County Detention Center, Fox News reported this week. Click here to read more. Click here to read more.

 

DETROIT, Mich - A black voter at a Detroit barbershop said in a segment aired on Fox News Thursday morning that he was backing former President Donald Trump this November, citing high prices and the wider Biden-Harris economy.

Trump has made major inroads with black voters, eating away at Vice President Kamala Harris’ hold on the voting bloc. The voter mentioned prices at the grocery store to justify his vote to “Fox and Friends” co-host Lawrence Jones, noting that buying basic household goods feels like “making a life decision” under the Biden-Harris administration.

“At the end of the day, I’m Trump because my eyes are open. I can see that he was doing a lot better than what we’re going through right now,” one black voter said in the “Fox and Friends” statement. “You can’t even go to the grocery stores right now without making a life decision on what you want to get. You know, you got to compromise. We don’t have to go through that four years ago.”

Since Biden and Harris took office in January 2021, prices rose by over 20%, while the Consumer Price Index (CPI) reached a high of 9% in June 2022. By comparison, the CPI grew 1.4% year-over-year in January 2021, when Trump left office, while the average price for a gallon of gas was under $2.25, according to GasBuddy.com.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration is suing the Biden-Harris administration over a purported refusal to cooperate with removing illegal aliens from Florida voter rolls.

The lawsuit was announced Thursday by Attorney General Ashley Moody.

“Because the federal government is refusing to comply with these obligations and frustrating Florida’s ability to maintain the integrity of its elections, Florida files this suit,” the filing states.

The development comes as the 2024 election nears and a few weeks after Florida Secretary of State Cord Byrd sounded the alarm that the Department of Homeland Security wasn’t cooperating with the state’s attempt to verify immigration statuses of certain individuals on the voter rolls.

In the new lawsuit, Florida declared it “has an obligation to maintain accurate and current voter registration records.” Click here to read more.

School Board Member Alleges Information Withheld in Proposed $40 Million School Sale

SWARTZ CREEK, Mich. — Tensions flared at a recent Swartz Creek School Board meeting after a board member claimed he was not given key information about a potential $40 million sale of Moorish Elementary School to a state-backed development project.

Board member Chuck Melki alleged that documents related to the proposed sale were withheld from him and the public. The school sits within a large industrial site in Mundy Township where the state of Michigan has already spent $259 million to clear land for a potential factory project. Despite the investment, several companies have declined to move in, leaving the land vacant.

“I wasn’t given all the information about the possible sale of this school,” Melki said during the meeting, adding that he recently learned documents existed as far back as May indicating the property could be sold. He accused the district’s former superintendent, who has since left for another district, of withholding the paperwork.

Michigan’s Failing $259 Million Mega Site Project Could Now Claim a $40M School

The state of Michigan has spent over $259 million in taxpayer money buying land in Genesee County for a “mega-site” project aimed at attracting a large company, but no firm has committed to the site. A proposed $55 billion project recently fell through, leaving the land vacant. Now, officials are considering buying Morris Elementary School for $40 million to add to the site, despite uncertainty over whether a company will ever build there. Supporters say it could bring jobs, while critics argue it’s a waste of public funds.

Maxwell Breaks Silence: What She Really Said About Clinton, Trump and Epstein’s Death
The new tapes just released.

WASHINGTON — Ghislaine Maxwell, the disgraced socialite serving a 20-year sentence for her role in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking operation, spoke at length about her ties to former President Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, and her view of Epstein’s death in newly released transcripts of her proffer sessions with the Department of Justice. She also addressed persistent rumors of a secret “list” of Epstein’s powerful associates, calling the notion a myth.

Click here to listen to the interview.

The interviews, conducted July 24–25, 2025, under a proffer agreement, mark the first time Maxwell has directly addressed federal investigators since her conviction. The transcripts provide a rare glimpse into her perspective on Epstein’s network and the scandals that continue to swirl around his name.

 

Maxwell on Donald Trump

Maxwell said her connections to Trump predated her relationship with Epstein. She recalled that in 1990, while helping her father Robert Maxwell with business matters in New York, she may have briefly met Trump. “My father was friendly with him and liked him very much,” she told investigators, adding that her father also admired Ivana Trump.

She acknowledged attending events at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort but denied recruiting women there on Epstein’s behalf. “I really don’t believe it’s true,” she said when pressed about allegations that she approached women at the property. “In the realm of possibility, it could have [happened], but I have no memory of it”.

Maxwell on Bill Clinton

Maxwell described Clinton as a figure Epstein “greatly admired” and sought to impress. She said she saw Clinton at charity and academic gatherings but insisted he was “never inappropriate” and “never a participant” in Epstein’s sexual misconduct.

Clinton has acknowledged flying on Epstein’s private jet for philanthropic work but denied wrongdoing. Maxwell’s comments, while echoing his denials, underscore Epstein’s desire to cultivate relationships with political elites.

 

Maxwell on Jeffrey Epstein’s Death

The transcripts show Maxwell voicing deep skepticism about Epstein’s official cause of death. “I don’t believe he killed himself,” she told investigators. She suggested Epstein “had many enemies” and said there were “too many coincidences” surrounding the circumstances of his 2019 death in federal custody.

While she did not accuse anyone directly, Maxwell’s doubts echoed the widespread suspicion that Epstein’s death was not self-inflicted.

Maxwell on the Rumored ‘List’

Investigators also asked Maxwell about the long-rumored “list” of Epstein’s friends and associates — sometimes described in media accounts as a supposed ledger of influential figures tied to his activities. Maxwell dismissed the idea outright.

“I never kept such a list, and I never saw one,” she said, calling the notion a “media invention.” She added that Epstein’s social circle was broad and well-known through public appearances, flight logs, and society pages, but insisted there was no secret document cataloging who might have been complicit.

“People have imagined this massive hidden record,” she said, “but it simply didn’t exist in the way it has been described.”

 

Distancing Herself from Epstein

Maxwell continued to dispute prosecutors’ characterization of Epstein’s multimillion-dollar transfers to her. She claimed the money was tied to loans, business deals, and investments, not payments for recruiting underage girls. She described flipping real estate, investing in luxury cars, and earning banking licenses in the 1990s, portraying herself as a woman seeking financial independence rather than an accomplice.

“I always wanted to be independent, financially secure and work for myself,” she said.

Renewed Scrutiny

The release of Maxwell’s interviews is likely to reignite scrutiny of Epstein’s network. For years, questions have swirled about who knew what about his abuse and how far his influence extended. Clinton has denied any knowledge of criminal activity, while Trump has said he knew Epstein socially but “was not a fan.”

Maxwell’s denial of a “list” may quiet some speculation but is unlikely to end the fascination with Epstein’s high-profile ties. Her insistence that Clinton and Trump were not involved in abuse will not silence critics, especially given her conviction for enabling Epstein’s exploitation.

 

A Story That Refuses to Fade

Six years after Epstein’s death and more than two years into her sentence, Maxwell remains central to the scandal. Her interviews reflect both an attempt to defend her reputation and a refusal to accept the narrative prosecutors advanced.

“I’ve never had any problem to speak to anybody,” she told investigators at the outset of the interviews, noting that she had asked to meet with the government years earlier. “I offered myself and I kept asking.”

Now, with her words public, the controversy surrounding Epstein, Maxwell, and the powerful world they inhabited is once again thrust into the spotlight — with two former presidents and the specter of a rumored “list” ensuring the story remains alive.

Extremely Promising’: New Vaccine Could Prevent Recurrence Of Deadly Colon, Pancreatic Cancer

A new experimental vaccine has been developed that appears to be successful in preventing recurrences of the deadly colorectal and pancreatic cancers.

A study led by the Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of California, Los Angeles, tested the ELI-002 2P vaccine on 25 patients previously treated for pancreatic and colorectal cancers.

The vaccine could “help prevent or delay cancer recurrence in high-risk patients whose tumors are driven by KRAS mutations, which are responsible for half of colorectal cancers and more than 90 percent of pancreatic cancers, researchers noted,” The Hill reported.

The patients were tested a year after the vaccine had been administered, and the average relapse-free survival times were significantly greater than historical norms.

Oncologist Dr. Thomas Marron told News Nation the results are “extremely promising. Pancreatic cancer and colon cancer are really terrible cancers, and oftentimes even if patients can have curative-intense surgery, unfortunately this cancer tends to come back as microscopic bits of the cancer have already spread.

Education Dept places five Virginia school districts on high-alert status over transgender bathrooms

The Department of Education on Tuesday announced it was placing five northern Virginia school districts on "high-risk status" within the federal grant system, after they declined to obey the department's directive to change their policies regarding transgender students using bathrooms that align with their chosen gender identity.

The school districts made their respective decisions to reject the department's Voluntary Resolution Agreement last week.

The Education Department found last month that Arlington Public Schools, Alexandria City Public Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Loudoun County Public Schools and the Prince William County Public Schools violated Title IX by allowing students access to "intimate, sex-segregated facilities" based on the students' chosen gender identity instead of their biological sex.

Trump vows admin won't approve wind or solar: 'Days of stupidity are over'

resident Donald Trump on Wednesday vowed that his administration would not approve wind or solar projects, calling the alternative energy sources part of the "scam of the century!"

Trump has long criticized the alternative energy forms, notably pointing to the impact of wind turbines on the bird population. Earlier this week, he called for stopping windmill operations due to an energy crunch.

"Any State that has built and relied on WINDMILLS and SOLAR for power are seeing RECORD BREAKING INCREASES IN ELECTRICITY AND ENERGY COSTS," Trum posted on Truth Social. "THE SCAM OF THE CENTURY! We will not approve wind or farmer destroying Solar. The days of stupidity are over in the USA!!! MAGA."

Last month, Trump called windmills a "con job" and warned European leaders against their production, in part due to them being made in China.

 

Man who tried to rape 7-year-old agrees to be castrated as part of plea deal

VERNON PARISH, La. - A Louisiana man agreed to be physically and chemically castrated as part of a plea deal.

Thirty-seven-year-old Thomas Allen McCartney, of Leesville, pleaded guilty Tuesday to attempted first-degree rape of a child under the age of 13.

As part of the plea deal, McCartney also agreed to serve 40 years in state prison, according to the Vernon Parish District Attorney’s Office.

When McCartney was arrested in 2023, authorities said he had been caught sexually abusing a 7-year-old girl. He was already a Tier 3 sex offender in Louisiana, having been previously convicted of attempted aggravated rape in 2011. Click here to read more.
