Jocelyn Benson brags about stifling DOJ’s pursuit of election integrity

Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson made a special video to assure Michiganders she’ll never let anyone review her Qualified Voter File to ensure elections are as “secure and accurate” as she claims.

The video message centers on a request from the U.S. Department of Justice for information on Michigan’s bloated voter rolls and illegal votes cast in 2024, one of dozens of requests to states that align with President Donald Trump’s executive order “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections.”

Benson is framing the July request, along with a DOJ lawsuit, as a “power grab” with nefarious intentions as she prepares to run her own campaign for governor in 2026, while preying on fears about government access to voters’ “sensitive personal data.”

“The United States Justice Department is trying to get me, Michigan’s chief election officer, to turn over your Social Security number, driver’s license number, and voting information,” Benson said in the video. “I told them they can’t have it.” Click here to read more.

 

‘Indoctrination’: MSU Forces Future Teachers To Take Class Rooted In Black Lives Matter

Students at Michigan State University hoping to become the educators of the next generation are forced to take a race-centered course that follows “the guiding principles of the Black Lives Matter” movement and requires students to read from a book condemning “whiteness.”

Course materials obtained by the young America’s Foundation group on MSU’s campus and shared with The Daily Wire show that one class for future teachers pushes leftist theories on race. The introductory three-credit class, “TE 101: Social Foundations of Justice and Equity in Education,” is required for all Secondary Education majors at MSU and is typically taken before their junior year. TE 101’s course description states that it emphasizes “racial justice, equity, and social identity markers.”

The syllabus for TE 101 states that the class is “committed to the Guiding Principles of the Black Lives Matter Movement, Learning for Justice’s Social Justice Standards, and the principles of the Abolitionist Teaching Network.” Click here to read more.

 

Nebraska’s cruel crackdown threatens vital care for adults with developmental disabilities

Injustice is lurking around the quiet corners of Lincoln, Nebraska. The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) is threatening to strip away the proven and personalized care of adults with developmental disabilities, by dismantling the programs that gave them independence and hope.

For nearly two decades, Integrated Life Choices (ILC) has been a lifeline for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Founded in 2006 by Joshua Midgett and William Arrants, the organization was built upon one mission: To empower their clients to live independently and make a difference in their respective communities.

COO Justin Solomon explains ILC’s mission as “helping adults with developmental disabilities live in their community each and every day.” In practice, ILC operates facilities that are essentially group homes, where their adult clients live together with round-the-clock staff. Justin describes it as a sort of “adult foster care where someone with disability is living in a home with another person and they kind of share the life of that person and their family.” Click here to read more.

Court Rules that Minnesota Horse Teacher is Able to Continue Teaching in Important First Amendment Win

ARLINGTON, Va.—The United States District Court of Minnesota has granted victory to equine massage teacher Leda Mox of Becker, Minnesota in her case on whether teaching is protected under the First Amendment. The ruling follows a previous ruling where the court denied a motion to dismiss by the Commissioner of the Minnesota Office of Higher Education stating the “Commissioner has not provided (and could not appropriately provide at this stage) any evidence,” that the law requiring her to be licensed “advances at least important governmental interests and does not burden substantially more speech than is necessary.” Leda is represented by the Institute for Justice (IJ), a public interest law firm.

“This ruling is another victory for Leda, for teachers everywhere, and most importantly for the First Amendment,” said IJ Senior Attorney Jeffrey Redfern. “The right to free speech shall not be infringed. Teaching is speech, and is protected under the Constitution.” Click here to read more.

Michigan AG Dana Nessel fights to preserve unconstitutional gun control laws — in Hawaii!

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is fighting hard to preserve unconstitutional firearm restrictions she claims are necessary to protect folks … in Hawaii.

“Every state has a responsibility to keep their residents safe, and that includes taking commonsense steps to reduce gun violence,” Nessel said in a recent statement.

“Our laws should reflect the values and needs of our communities, and Hawaii’s firearm permitting regime does just that,” she said. “By ensuring guns are in the hands of only responsible, law-abiding individuals, we can protect lives while upholding constitutional rights. I am proud to lead this coalition supporting Hawaii’s commitment to protecting their residents.”

Nessel and 16 attorneys general from blue states filed an amicus brief last week in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals case Yukutake v. Lopez, offering support for Hawaii’s gun restrictions currently before the full court. Click here to read more.

 

Michigan Voters to decide fate of $1.6B in new school debt

Michiganders will have a chance Nov. 4 to decide whether to incur more public debt, with residents of 27 school districts deciding the fate of $1.6 billion worth of new bonds, according to the Michigan Department of Treasury.

Each district that seeks permission to borrow says it will spend some of the funds on remodeling one or more buildings, usually those used for classrooms.

Beyond that, the purposes vary. Instructional technology is the most commonly mentioned item, with 22 districts saying they plan to purchase equipment, remodel buildings so they may use it, or both.

Athletic fields and playgrounds are the second- and third-most commonly cited purpose, with 15 and 14 districts, respectively, saying they will spend some funds on them. Click here to read more.

 

House Report Concludes That Some Biden Autopen Executive Decisions Should Be ‘Void’

“In the absence of sufficient contemporaneous documentation indicating that cognitively deteriorating President Biden himself made a given executive decision, such decisions do not carry the force of law and should be considered void.”

That was what a major report released Tuesday by the House Oversight Committee concluded about former President Joe Biden’s autopen usage during his presidency. The report on Biden’s mental acuity while in office and his autopen use was spearheaded by Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky.

The xommittee’s report notes that the Biden administration “left no record demonstrating President Biden himself made all of the executive decisions that were attributed to him.”

It seems Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and House Republicans agree with the committee’s conclusions. Click here to read more.

 

Chicago Teachers Union spent $173K on poolside recording studio, won’t show audit to members

The Chicago Teachers Union’s latest federal filing tells you how the union spends members’ money and it calls into question what the union isn’t telling them.

CTU’s filing shows it spent $173,000 on a “recording studio” in New Mexico with no helpful context on its purpose. But it did have a pool.

If CTU released its annual audits to members, as required in its internal rules, spending on a “recording studio” in New Mexico might have an explanation. But since it hasn’t released those audits since September 2020, members can only guess.

CTU’s questionable spending includes a New Mexico recording studio

Each year CTU files a report with the U.S. Department of Labor detailing the money it has received and spent in the previous fiscal year. Buried within its 2025 report is a $173,000 expense to On Point Studios.

The location: Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The type of entity: a recording studio. Click here to read more.

 

Is America solving homelessness or simply financing it?

WASHINGTON (TNND) — Americans pour staggering amounts of money into the fight against homelessness every year, through federal programs, state funding, and private donations. Yet a new analysis argues that despite the spending surge, the crisis keeps deepening.

A study released by the Capital Research Center, a conservative policy group, claims the nation isn’t short on compassion or cash. Instead, it says the problem lies in how that money is managed. Researchers reviewed 759 nonprofits that filed briefs in a 2024 Supreme Court case over public camping and found they collectively took in $9.1 billion, including $2.9 billion in government grants. According to CRC, many of these organizations have evolved from front-line service providers into advocacy operations, channeling more time and resources into lobbying, public relations, and court battles than into housing or rehabilitation.
