The first mayor in the US to be elected using Ranked Choice Voting was Ann Arbor's Al Wheeler, the first Black tenured professor at University of Michigan. Dr. Wheeler formed the NAACP Ann Arbor Chapter and wrote the bill that became MI's Civil Rights Department. He helped create some of the first housing protection ordinances in the country. In a racist backlash against his victory, Ann Arbor repealed Ranked Choice Voting in a low turnout election that happened to have record Republican turnout. Now, election deniers in Michigan tied to Cleta Mitchell (a woman who once chased a garbage truck down the street to try to prove the 2020 election was stolen from Trump), are once again pushing to suppress Ranked Choice Voting, but that's not all. They are also trying to purge the voter rolls of any ethnic sounding names. We know this because "Pure Integrity Michigan Elections" outed themselves to oppose @RankMIVote's petition to bring Ranked Choice Voting to Michigan Elections. *All* of their plans for voter suppression in Michigan in 2026 are in their rumble videos. These moves are so transparently racist, MI Election Deniers like Patrice Johnson are openly *celebrating* what took place in Ann Arbor in the 1970s. Mayor Wheeler's story is just a moment in the history of Ranked Choice Voting and, unfortunately, racist voter suppression in this country, but it still a powerful reminder of what's at stake in our politics *today*. You can help get the word out about Dr. Al Wheeler and help Rank MI Vote bring Ranked Choice Voting back to not just Ann Arbor, but all of Michigan. You can find all original sources for this video at AnnArborRCV dot com.

Wow. This is a gut punch.

A second memo from Bari Weiss and Tom Cibrowski says CBS News Radio is shutting down. Here's the memo: Today, we informed our CBS News Radio team and approximately 700 affiliated stations that we will end the service on May 22, 2026. Unfortunately, this decision means that all positions within the CBS News Radio team are being eliminated.  We understand how difficult this news is for our staff and their colleagues, who have worked side by side with us to cover some of the most significant stories of our time. While this was a necessary decision, it was not an easy one.  A shift in radio station programming strategies, coupled with challenging economic realities, has made it impossible to continue the service.  We are sharing this announcement now to fulfill our commitments to our radio partners and affiliates, which require advance notice of the service’s conclusion. For nearly 100 years, CBS News Radio has delivered original reporting to the nation—from Edward R. Murrow’s World War II reports in London to today’s daily White House updates.  Our signature broadcast, “World News Roundup,” remains the longest-running newscast in the country.  CBS News Radio served as the foundation for everything we have built since 1927. The coming weeks will be difficult for the team members who have worked tirelessly at CBS News Radio.  We are committed to supporting these valued colleagues with care and respect as we wind down operations.  They have been critical to our success and remain treasured friends and professionals.  We thank them deeply for their contributions. Thank you all for your dedication and for the compassion you show one another as we move forward. Bari and Tom

Sure, here are 10 specific things Donald Trump has said about Joe Biden: 1. "Sleepy Joe Biden, THE WORST PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES." 2. "Joe Biden is the worst thing that ever happened to old people." 3. "To me, he's a sleepy son of a bitch." 4. "Biden wasn't much of a president. That I can tell you. That we all know." 5. Biden's speeches "last a matter of seconds... You ever notice Joe would always cough before a speech." 6. "low I.Q. individual." 7. "a weak, pathetic man." 8. "stupid bastard." 9. "the true danger to democracy." 10. "Stupid Joe."

The Japanese Prime Minister’s reaction to the “President Autopen” portrait at the White House representing the Biden years. Absolutely priceless.

LEE: I asked Chairman Comer, if Pam Bondi did not come, would he force her to or if he would move for contempt hearings as he did for other people who did not respond to our subpoena? Instead of answering as an adult, he said that I was “bitching”

Obama treated Bush with more respect. He sharply criticized Bush's policies in 2008 but later called him a "good man" at the 2013 library dedication, praised his post-9/11 resolve, HIV/AIDS efforts, and bipartisanship, and wrote in his memoir that he came to like Bush personally as "straightforward [and] disarming" despite major disagreements, building a friendly family relationship. Trump has focused on Biden's policies as failures (calling him the "worst president" in 2025 speeches) with stronger ongoing rhetoric, though he noted Biden was "so nice" after the 2024 assassination attempt.

@beyond_process Green energy is a money making business independent of oil and natural gas. It does not mean it is any better. Hail storms destroy solar farms frequently, and wind farms cost more to maintain than they produce. You have been duped into thinking green energy is better.

As natural gas and octane prices surge, Democrats need to be spiking footballs about being champions of renewable energy and electric vehicles even as the Republicans were shouting big oil talking points with their entire chest cavities.

Slotkin and Peters are **NOT** endorsing in #MISen If they are a part of a "group", that does not mean individual endorsements. Only Leader @CortezMasto (D-NV) is an individual endorsement at this time Slotkin has made it clear she wont endorse wemu.org/wemu-news/2025…

@jasonwsnead Voting by mail is good actually. So is early voting. It must be exhausting consistently lying about trying to narrow the window of when and how people can exercise this very basic and simple and important right. I hope you have a good therapist, Jason.

The Supreme Court has a prime opportunity to keep it easy to vote and make it harder to cheat by upholding the rule of law and ensuring that "Election Day" means Election Day. dailycaller.com/2026/03/20/ele…

@matthewmaddock Matt do you think that it's ironic that he's saying this standing next to a child rapist who is trying to sweep the claims of survivors of his crimes under the rug? Either ironic or hypocritical?

Criminal justice for the left never meant justice for victims. They first destroy bail so no victim gets any justice because the criminal never appears in court and the victims sit and wait in court.….
Resist the Mainstream@ResisttheMS

WATCH: Elon Musk points out that "the fundamental moral flaw of the left is empathy for the criminals and not empathy for the victims." "It's undermining the people's faith in the legal system. It needs to stop."

With Chuck Norris gone, who's going to tell little kids in Texas when they have AIDS? Really though, I hope he rests in peace. I very much respected his friendship with Bruce Lee.

@Phil_Lewis_ @theeevillain MSU is where the dealers used to live that the pushers from Ann Arbor would buy from in the '90s. The rivalry is as false as who gets the credit for the weed.

@mcbyrne I really have grown to like Tim Miller over the last two years, and I appreciate how The Bulwark's attitude and messaging fits in politics today. Talarico could have said something very close to this and been fine. He could have acknowledged existent racism. He didn't. Sh*tty.

@jasonwsnead Why keep posting on this platform, which is drastically biased in your ideological direction? Despite that bias you can't get traction. *No one* cares what an out-of-touch DC consultant thinks about these things. Not even the people on your side. The electeds barely like you.

We’ve seen this game before. Democrats “support” photo ID as long as: - You aren’t required to show ID to vote - IDs don’t list citizenship - Anything with your name and address counts as ID - Anybody can vouch for anybody if they don’t have ID - Ds are never used for mail voting - And they get a deal for widespread mail voting, automatic registration, decriminalize ballot harvesting, etc. x.com/steventdennis/…

@StevenTDennis Why would they do that? Their entire point is to suppressing the vote of women who voted against them in the last election. It's not in the cards.

@MhmmitsG @Press4BC I think the intersection of race and gender is a difficult area of discussion that even people with PhDs fail to successfully navigate. I also think if I want young people to find a better way, it has to be shown to them and shown to work. Smart ones will get it.

@beyond_process @Press4BC Eh, I think Mason is clearly 19. Supportive of his candidate, but denigrating to the opposition in a way the wreaks of misogyny. We need leftists that aren’t allergic to actually wielding power/constantly firing at allies when they don’t get their way.

Again I like Platner but endorsing him and not Abdul is just racist garbage. They’re identical on policy, both in targeted races, both endorsed by Bernie, and both men running against women. There is no reason to support Platner but not Abdul unless you’re just racist.
Graham Platner for Senate@grahamformaine

🚨Endorsement Alert! 🚨 “People are excited to vote for someone who will actually fight for them. Not just nibble around the edges.” Thank you, Senator Warren. Together I look forward to taking on Wall Street and the billionaires waging a class war against the rest of us.

Since @gretchenwhitmer has been Governor, just over 409,000 people have been added to our welfare roles. Before her, we had as low as 1 out of 12.21 people on welfare and today it’s 1 in 4.35 on welfare. This has cost working ppl billions more in taxes.

Public ed advocates are in the Romney Building right now requesting a meeting w/ Gov. Whitmer to get her stance on Michigan opting into the federal govt’s new education tax credit, which can be used for private school. Critics say it’s a voucher program that may be illegal in MI.
