Election Error Forces Dearborn, Michigan to Reprint 9,000 Ballots

DEARBORN, Mich. — About 9,000 Dearborn voters are getting a second ballot in the mail after city officials accidentally sent out absentee ballots listing a man who isn’t even running for City Council.

The corrected ballots—omitting Mohammed Shegara, who withdrew from the City Council race in April—were expected to reach voters by October 11 and should already be in mailboxes this week.

City Clerk George Darany called the incident a “correctible oversight,” but some critics are calling it a breakdown in election oversight just weeks before Election Day.

“The clerk’s office has not only wasted taxpayer dollars but also put the city at risk for lawsuits that could cost even more,” Sami Elhady, Darany’s challenger for clerk, said. Click here to read more.

 

Illegal Immigrants Are on Medicaid — Taxpayers Deserve the Truth

WASHINGTON D.C. - While Democrats try to deny it, the reason Washington is shut down comes down to a single question: Should Medicaid, a program meant for low-income Americans, be used to subsidize healthcare for people who entered the country illegally?

The fight began with the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act earlier this year. One of its key reforms ended a Medicaid loophole that allowed states to pass the cost of covering illegal immigrants on to federal taxpayers. The law required states to pay those costs themselves, cutting off a practice that blurred eligibility lines and drained billions. Democrats now want that provision repealed, and their refusal to compromise has prolonged the shutdown.

California shows the scale of the abuse. In 2023, the state budgeted $3.9 billion for medical services for illegal immigrants under Medicaid. Because the federal government typically reimburses 70% of state Medicaid spending, most of that burden fell on taxpayers nationwide. Click here to read more.

EV battery company bails on Whitmer’s Michigan, despite taxpayer funding — will ‘continue to explore opportunities’ elsewhere

The trend is obvious.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and her economic development team spend billions in tax dollars through secret negotiations to court electric vehicle and renewable energy investments to Michigan, and make big promises about jobs to be created in the future.

Then it all dissolves, leaving Michigan taxpayers holding the bag.

The latest example comes from the global mining giant Fortescue, which told Crain’s Detroit Business on Friday it’s pulling the plug on a $210 million EV battery plant in Detroit that Whitmer promised just last year would “create up to 600 jobs and build on our economic momentum.”

“Following a comprehensive review of the economics, logistics and deadlines to meet our ambitious decarbonization targets, we have made the decision to reassess the future of our U.S. manufacturing strategy and no longer proceed with our planned Michigan Manufacturing Center,” a company spokesperson wrote in a statement to the news site.

Exposed: The CCP’s United Front Network in America’s Heartlan

In part one of this joint investigation by the Breitbart News Foundation (BNF) and the Government Accountability Institute (GAI), it was revealed that from a single brick building on North Eustis Street in St. Paul, Minnesota, a web of pro-Beijing nonprofits and businesses collaborate with the Overseas Chinese Service Center of Minnesota (Minnesota OCSC), which itself works directly with the Chinese Communist Party’s United Front Work Department.

Part two revealed that the public University of Minnesota email account of Dr. Bingwen Yan — the “person in charge” of the Minnesota OCSC — is listed on official Chinese Communist Party (CCP) websites as the official contact for the Minnesota OCSC, and that any communications that may have been taking place on that email address could prove useful to any investigation of whether the CCP is operating another “police station” in Minnesota.

Louisiana, ADF challenge Biden-era abortion-by-mail scheme in pro-life states

LAFAYETTE, La. – The state of Louisiana, together with attorneys from Alliance Defending Freedom, filed a federal lawsuit against the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for enabling pro-abortion activists and doctors to mail streams of high-risk abortion drugs into states that protect the lives of unborn babies.

Louisiana resident Rosaliw Maekwzich also joined the suit. In October 2023, under immense pressure and fearing for her safety, she took abortion drugs that her boyfriend obtained via mail from a doctor in California. Rosalie’s attorneys explain that she did not want an abortion, but far from empowering her to make her own choice and preserve her autonomy, the mail-order drugs left her feeling trapped and coerced.

BREAKING: Charges Dropped Against Michigan Duck Rescue Founders After DNR Case Collapses

The legal battle between the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and the Michigan Duck Rescue and Sanctuary has come to an end. with all charges dismissed against the couple who run the operation.

Matthew and Teresa Lyson, founders of the Salem Township sanctuary, had faced six criminal charges each after state officials accused them of keeping and caring for waterfowl without proper permits. This week, the Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office dismissed the cases in their entirety, following months of public scrutiny and growing political pressure.

“This is great news,” Lyson told Keeping It Real. “All charges against me and Teresa are 100 percent gone. It’s a done deal, and we get to start new.”

Background of the Case

The Michigan Duck Rescue and Sanctuary has operated for nearly two decades, caring for injured or abandoned ducks, geese, and other waterfowl — many of which suffer from “angel wing,” a deformity often caused by people feeding them improper food. The Lysons say their work ...

This is in Grand Rapids, Michigan

👀 Someone sent this to me from the Grand Rapids YMCA.

They are working on a coed locker room, and the sign says, “We’re going co-ed. We know your mom wouldn’t approve.”

It also reads, “Shower in your bathing suit, not your birthday suit.”

For clarity, the YMCA says there will still be separate men’s and women’s locker rooms.

Still, that messaging caught my attention. The “your mom wouldn’t approve” line is… unusual.

Worth clarifying this. The federal changes never meant vaccines were being taken away or made unavailable. They adjusted recommendations, not access, and vaccines remain available for anyone who wants them through doctors and existing programs.

Government-forced EV transition costs GM $7.1 BILLION

The government forced transition to electric vehicles is costing General Motors billions.

Following EV sales that dropped off by 43% in the fourth quarter of 2025, GM announced in a filing with the Securities ad Exchange Commission on Thursday it’s bet on EVs will result in a $7.1 billion hit in 2026, The Associated Press reported.

“With the termination of certain consumer tax incentives and the reduction in the stringency of emissions regulations, industry-wide consumer demand for EVs in North America began to slow in 2025,” the company said in the filing cited by The financial Times. “As a result, GM proactively reduced EV capacity.”

About $6 billion in losses includes $1.8 billion in non-cash impairments and charges and another $4.2 billion in supplier settlements, cancelation fees, and other charges. The other $1.1 billion stems from a service charge to restructure its business in China, according to the Times. Click here to read.

 

Florida breaks record for highest graduation rate in state history, education leaders praise strong leadership

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.- Florida’s high school graduation rate hit a record 92.2% for the 2024-25 school year, a milestone education leaders say reflects the state’s strong focus on student success under Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Speaking during his State of the State address Tuesday, DeSantis framed the achievement as proof that high expectations, accountability, and support for schools can deliver real results for students.

“Florida’s historic graduation rate reflects the power of Governor DeSantis’ leadership, clear expectations, and unwavering commitment to student success,” said Education Commissioner Anastasios Kamoutsas. “These results show what can happen when we hold schools to high standards and prepare every student for life after graduation.” Click here to read more.

Assaults against ICE up 1300%, vehicular attacks up 3200%, death threats up 8000%

Assaults against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers are up 1,300%, vehicular attacks are up 3,200% and death threats are up 8,000%, the Department of Homeland Security said after a U.S. citizen was shot and killed during an alleged vehicular attack in Minneapolis this week.

Federal authorities argue the shooting was justified and in self-defense. Local and state officials say otherwise.

One day after the Minneapolis shooting, two Venezuelan nationals were shot by a Border Patrol agent after they attempted to run him over with their vehicle in Portland, Ore., the Department of Homeland Security said. DHS also describes the shooting as self-defense and justified.

The two Venezuelans and alleged Tren de Aragua members “weaponized their vehicle against Border Patrol in Portland. Click here to read more.

 

Undercover video prompts suspension of Secret Service agent

WASHINGTON - The Secret Service has placed an agent, who served on Vice President JD Vance’s protective detail, on administrative leave and suspended his clearance after he was captured in an undercover video talking about sensitive parts of his job.

In the video, he is seen and heard talking to a woman he had met for a date, discussing serving in the VP’s security detail, including the movement of Vance to and from his Naval Observatory home, and showing his badge after she asked.

“The U.S. Secret Service has no tolerance for any behavior that could potentially compromise the safety, privacy or trust of our protectees. This incident is under investigation, and the employee involved has been placed on administrative leave with his clearance suspended and access to agency facilities and systems revoked,” Deputy Secret Service Director Matthew Quinn said in a statement to NewsNation.

Michigan Dept. of Education Approved Resolution Supporting Immigration Enforcement Limits in Schools and Beyond
Measure references bills restricting immigration enforcement as department weighs in on federal policy

LANSING, Mich. - The Michigan Department of Education voted 5 to 1 this week to approve a resolution stating that “no child should fear going to school or stepping outside of their home that their family will be torn apart,” while formally citing pending legislation that would limit state and local involvement in federal immigration enforcement.

The resolution references Senate Bills 508, 509 and 510, which are currently before the Michigan Legislature. The bills collectively propose changes to how state and local agencies interact with federal immigration authorities.

Senate Bill 508 would restrict immigration enforcement actions at designated “sensitive locations,” including schools, hospitals, places of worship and courthouses, unless a court order is issued or there is an imminent threat to public safety.

 

Senate Bill 509 would prohibit state and local government entities from sharing information that could be used for federal immigration enforcement without a judicial warrant.

Senate Bill 510 would require law enforcement officers conducting enforcement actions to be clearly identifiable and generally prohibit the use of masks or personal disguises, with limited exceptions such as undercover operations.

The resolution does not carry the force of law, but its adoption signals support within the Department of Education for the legislation and places the department on record regarding immigration-related policy issues.

 

The vote comes as immigration enforcement practices are receiving renewed national attention following a fatal shooting in Minneapolis involving a federal immigration officer. In that case, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot and killed a Minnesota woman during a federal operation. Federal authorities have said they are conducting the investigation, while Minnesota officials have raised concerns about transparency and oversight.

While the Minnesota incident was not cited during the Michigan vote, it has intensified public debate nationwide over immigration enforcement tactics and the role of state and local institutions in responding to federal actions.

The Senate bills referenced in the resolution remain under consideration in Lansing and have not yet received final legislative approval.
