The #Michigan Board of Elections says Cornel West has been disqualified from appearing on the state's presidential ballot because his paperwork was not properly notarized.
I hadn’t seen this & holy hell is this disturbing.
A coalition of #Republican *lawmakers* want to make the #AR15, a #SemiAutomatic #firearm, #Michigan’s state #rifle, a move that concerned #GunControl advocates.
HB 5792, introduced by Rep Brian #BeGole (R-Antrim Twp), the fmr #sheriff of Shiawassee County, would make the #MilitaryGradeWeapon the state’s ofcl rifle.

Republicans feel betrayed:
A leading pro-cryptocurrency PAC has dumped millions of dollars into high-profile #Michigan and #Arizona Senate races to back Democrats against Trump-endorsed candidates — angering top Republicans who viewed the industry as an ally. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/republicans-claim-betrayal-cryptocurrency-pac-backs-democrats-rcna166470

"The #Trump campaign had initially agreed that Trump would participate in an interview with The Detroit News. But after the newspaper began asking about the #Michigan crime data ... the presidential candidate no longer had time for an interview."👇🏼

The Detroit News: #Trump has been promising #Michigan voters that he can revive the state's auto industry and return it to 'greatness,' but he failed to deliver on similar guarantees — made eight years ago — before his first term.
By the end of that term, there were 5% fewer jobs in vehicle and parts manufacturing in Michigan than when he took office. https://detroitnews.com/story/news/politics/2024/09/30/history-casts-doubt-on-donald-trump-auto-industry-promises-michigan-president-election-kamala-harris/75450816007/

the line #Walz will deliver shortly in #Michigan--"All these guys know about manufacturing is how to manufacture bullshit"--responding to #Trump's hit on Detroit, is the kind of line that helped get him picked as a running mate but has rarely been heard from him since he was picked
Via Ammar Moussa:
NEW >> #Walz is set to rip Donald Trump's record on manufacturing in WARREN, #Michigan
"“Just yesterday, #Trump said, ‘Our whole country will end up being like Detroit. You’re going to have a mess on your hands.’"
"Maybe if he ever spent any time in the Midwest, he’d know Detroit is experiencing a great American comeback. Crime is down. The city is growing. Factories are opening again. But all these guys know about manufacturing is how to manufacture bullshit.”
"This dude even outsourced God to China … they put it inside a place he's never looked — in the Bible."
Damn #Walz is good.
Via Kyle Griffin:
Gov. Walz in #Michigan: "We just found out his Trump-branded Bibles, they're printed in China. This dude even outsourced God to China … I don't blame him. He didn't notice the Made in China sticker because they put it inside a place he's never looked — in the Bible."

I don't know where Mike Rogers lives, but it's not where he's registered to vote.
Rogers, the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate, changed his voter registration on July 2 to a home in White Lake Township that is under construction. A month later, he used the White Lake address to vote (presumably, for himself) in the four-way race for the GOP nomination to replace retiring U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow. #Michigan
Via Kyle Griffin:
NEW: On Oct. 21, Vice President #Harris will join Liz #Cheney for a series of moderated conversations in suburban communities across #Pennsylvania, #Wisconsin, and #Michigan, "as part of her ongoing efforts to earn the support of swing voters."
Via Ammar Moussa:
WOW.
#JDVance attacks a $500m investment that is *saving* American jobs and ensuring the future of the auto industry is built right here in the United States as "table scraps."
Could you imagine a more out of touch ticket?
Craig Mauger:
JDVance refers to the $500 mil allocated by the federal govt to convert an auto plant in Lansing to make electric vehicles as “table scraps.”
“We certainly want to invest in #Michigan auto workers as much as possible,” he also says.
#WompWomp… & #SCOTUS #Wompage is a rarity!
“The Supreme Court declined Tuesday to let #RFKJr. withdraw his name from ballots in #Michigan and #Wisconsin, battleground states where votes for his now suspended campaign could cut into support for #Trump”

New in WIRED:
I went to #Michigan to find out more about the massive disparity in voter turnout operations between the #Harris and #Trump campaigns. Even in Trumpworld, there's some trepidation around #Musk’s outsourced door knocking operation

"Harris goes to church while Trump muses about reporters being shot"
"Donald Trump is asking voters in Pennsylvania again to make him leader of a 'failed nation.' Kamala Harris countered from a Michigan church pulpit that God offers America a 'divine plan strong enough to heal division.'”
Comment: MAGA has failed, not the USA. He's projecting the downfall of his empire onto the whole nation.
