Michigan Man Plotted Attack on Jewish Daycare.

Hassan Chokr, a 35-year-old Michigan man with a history of felony convictions, has pled guilty to federal gun charges in connection with a disturbing plot to attack a Jewish daycare in Bloomfield Hills.

In December 2022, while out on bail, Chokr drove through the Temple Beth El parking lot, yelling antisemitic slurs and threats at children and parents. After the incident, he attempted to purchase three firearms—an AR-15-style rifle, an automatic shotgun, and a Glock pistol—from a Dearborn gun store.

Authorities say he lied on the federal form to conceal prior convictions and a pending assault case. Court records show he referenced “God’s wrath” during the attempt and had posted antisemitic content online. He now faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Click here to learn more.

 

Elon Musk Criticizes Trump's Budget Bill as 'Disgusting Abomination'

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Elon Musk is speaking out against President Trump’s proposed federal budget, calling it a “disgusting abomination” in a post shared Tuesday on X (formerly Twitter).

The budget, which aims to stimulate growth through increased domestic energy production and infrastructure spending, also includes large boosts in defense funding and significant tariff hikes on imported steel and aluminum. Trump has defended the bill, saying it’s a bold plan to restore American manufacturing and energy independence.

However, Musk—known for his libertarian leanings—warned that the bill would explode the federal deficit, which is projected to reach $2.5 trillion. He criticized the measure as a betrayal of fiscal conservatives and warned it could lead to long-term economic instability.

Musk’s criticism is especially noteworthy given his previous alignment with some elements of Trump’s policy agenda. His comments signal emerging fractures between the pro-growth and limited-government factions of the right. Click here to read more.

Border Patrol Says Over 1.2 Million ‘Gotaways’ Under Biden

WASHINGTON D.C. - Former border czar Tom Homan warned that America could face a major terror attack due to the surge in illegal immigration under President Biden.

Homan cited more than 1.2 million “gotaways”—individuals who entered the U.S. illegally without being apprehended. He questioned why so many would avoid contact with authorities if the Biden administration is routinely releasing migrants into the interior.

He also referenced the Colorado terrorist attack carried out by Mohamed Sabry Soliman, who had overstayed his visa, as a sign of what’s to come. Homan says border security failures are now the greatest national security threat he's seen in 40 years of law enforcement. Click here to read more.

 

Michigan Republicans Move to Impeach Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson

LANSING, Mich -Michigan House Republicans have introduced articles of impeachment against Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a Democrat and top contender for the 2026 gubernatorial race.

Rep. James DeSana (R-Carleton) is leading the charge, accusing Benson of overstepping her authority by issuing illegal election directives, failing to preserve key election records, and damaging public trust in the electoral process.

The impeachment resolution also cites Benson’s political donations to a PAC supporting Michigan Supreme Court Justice Kyra Harris Bolden. Critics say the donation came shortly before Benson’s department appeared before the court in a case involving election inspectors—raising ethical concerns.

Another point of contention is Benson’s ban on firearms at polling places, which Republicans argue exceeded her legal authority. Click here to read more.

 

DeSantis signs bill extending ban on mRNA vaccine status discrimination

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed a piece of legislation that extends protections against discrimination based on mRNA vaccination status for another two years, upholding personal freedom and reinforcing Florida’s commitment to individual rights.

The news was shared on the Florida Department of Health’s “X” account on Tuesday.

What it does: HB 1299 prohibits health care providers and facilities from discriminating against a patient based solely on vaccination status and affirms a patient’s right to impartial access to treatment or accommodations regardless of vaccination status.

  • The bill repeals the scheduled expiration of the definition of mRNA vaccines, maintaining the prohibition against discrimination based on vaccination status.

  • It also prohibits health care providers and facilities from discriminating against patients based solely on vaccination status.

  • The bill requires Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers and Testing Laboratories to report actual or attempted theft, loss, or diversion of medical marijuana to the Department of Health as well as law enforcement, and defines “owners,” “managers,” and “employees” for background screening purposes.

Michigan High School Students depicts Charlie Kirk murder during school
School district is investigating

LIVONIA, Mich. — Livonia Public Schools says administrators at Churchill High School took action after becoming aware of a student’s reported depiction of the killing of Charlie Kirk.

According to information provided to Keeping it Real, a student reportedly arrived at Churchill High School dressed to depict Kirk being killed, including what appeared to be fake blood running down the student’s neck.

The incident raised questions about how the school responded and whether the depiction violated district policies.

A photograph of the student in the costume was subsequently posted to a non- affiliated

Churchill Instagram account, with the song “We Are Charlie Kirk.”

I have obtained a copy of the photo, but due to its disturbing nature, I have chosen not to publish it.

Keeping it Real contacted school officials seeking an explanation of what happened and how administrators handled the situation.

Stacy Jenkins, administrator of district communications, said Churchill High School officials learned about the situation at the beginning of the school day and acted quickly.

 

“Churchill High School administration was made aware of the situation at the start of the school day and swiftly addressed it with the student involved,” Jenkins said.

Jenkins acknowledged that the depiction was inappropriate.

“While we cannot prevent every poor choice a student may make, we can ensure that inappropriate behavior is addressed when our administration becomes aware — that is exactly what occurred in this situation,” Jenkins said. “The depiction was inappropriate and did not align with our expectations for student behavior.”

The district’s response does not specify what action was taken involving the student or whether disciplinary measures were imposed.

The incident comes amid heightened concerns about how schools handle depictions or references to real-world political violence, particularly when they involve students.

Michigan pays out smaller portion of pothole damage claims

Michigan drivers who traverse state highways often incur vehicle damage from potholes. Many of Michigan’s roads tend to be riddled with potholes that blow out tires, crack windshields and break suspensions.

Some drivers seek state compensation, but only about 12% of those people received it last year, according to a document that Michigan Capitol Confidential obtained via a records request.

Michigan paid 10 out of 86 claims for pothole-related damages in 2025, totaling $4,844, according to the Michigan Department of Transportation.

Those 10 people who received compensation from the state claimed damages caused by potholes on I-75, I-96, US-12, M-77, M-89, Saginaw Street, Plymouth Road, and Fort Street. Click here to read more.


 

Trump Asks SCOTUS to Permit Voter Verification System Ahead of Midterms

On Tuesday, Solicitor General John Sauer wrote to SCOTUS asking the justices to stay an order from Judge Sparkle Sooknanan, appointed to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia by former President Joe Biden.

In June, Sooknanan issued an order preventing the government from using an updated Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program. The updates greatly streamlined the process for states to purge voter rolls of ineligible voters.

According to Sauer, Sooknanan’s order is “indefensible” and “threatens the integrity of upcoming elections by vacating the federal government’s authority to internally use Social Security data when fulfilling its duty to respond to requests by States to verify the citizenship of individuals for voting and other purposes.”

“The order will irreparably harm the federal government, the States, and the public by depriving the government of an effective tool to verify the eligibility of registered voters and benefits applicants under various state and federal programs,” Sauer writes to SCOTUS. Click here to read more.

Florida blocks 10 CDL training schools after federal regulators remove them from registry

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida education officials are blocking 10 commercial driver training schools from recruiting new students or collecting tuition after federal regulators removed the providers from a national registry as part of a crackdown on commercial driver training.

The Florida Department of Education announced Tuesday that it is taking action against the 10 schools following their removal from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s Training Provider Registry.

Through the Commission for Independent Education, the state ordered affected licensed programs to immediately stop advertising, recruiting, enrolling new students and collecting tuition while their federal removal remains in effect.

The schools must also identify students who have been affected, provide refunds where required and report to the state on corrective actions and communications with federal regulators. Click here to read more.
