This is so cool. Thanks for the shout-out @WashingtonPost (and thanks to whoever suggested me)! washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/…

Scenes from former Vice President @KamalaHarris' 107 Days book tour stop in Detroit last night:

Former VP @KamalaHarris says President Donald Trump’s directive that U.S. agencies release government files on aliens and extraterrestrial life is meant to distract from the “corruption, cowardice, and incompetence coming out of this administration.” michiganadvance.com/2026/02/28/on-…

“Why won’t you be governor,” @JemeleHill asks @KamalaHarris. “Because she’s going to be president,” someone in the audience yells out. “That’s right,” another shouts.

Former VP @KamalaHarris says Trump’s agenda is “purely grounded in corruption and grift. “We are witnessing, in vivid detail, something that has been happening over a period of time, which is the concentration of wealth and power in the few at the expense of the many,” she says.

Harris says voters should start being more transactional. “Expect something from your vote. Demand something from your vote,” Harris says. “Do not let anybody take your vote for granted.”

Former VP @KamalaHarris says she’s surprised by the “capitulation” of “transactional” leaders to Trump. “They're not pretending to be grounded in what is morally right, what is principled, what is value based,” she says. “They're just in it for whatever they can get out of it.”

@RothTheReporter What time did it finally start?

More than an hour after the scheduled start time for former Vice President Kamala Harris’ book tour stop in Detroit, an announcer says the start of tonight’s event is delayed due to long lines to get through security at the venue’s entrance. Some audience members booed.

Moderator @JemeleHill says @KamalaHarris sounds like a presidential candidate. “I haven’t made any decisions about that,” Harris says.

Former VP @KamalaHarris warns of diminished pride among Americans. “This is our country,” Harris says. “We’re not going to let those people in Washington, DC, define for us what and who we are as Americans.”

Lt. Gov. @Garlin Gilchrist and U.S. Rep. @ShriThanedar are mingling with audience members at former Vice President @KamalaHarris’ book tour stop in Detroit this evening.

There are a handful of pro-Palestine protesters outside former Vice President Kamala Harris’ book tour stop in Detroit this evening.

COEN CARR ARE YOU KIDDING 🤯 @MSU_Basketball 📺: Peacock

"Big Gretch out," Michigan. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed off her eighth and final State of the State tonight. Some of my photos from her last address:

EARLY TAKE OFF FOR FLIGHT 55 ✈️ @MSU_Basketball

Michigan just ran a segment on the jumbotron in which players gave Valentine’s Day shoutouts to their significant others. Wolverines center Aday Mara said he’s in an open relationship with multiple AI chatbots, including ChatGPT and Claude. The crowd gasped.

@bensolis1 @EstebanwithanR Always happy to help when I can, and enjoy seeing your photos as well! It’s disheartening to see outlets like The Washington Post make deep cuts to their visual departments (often among the first to go), so I’m glad when there are examples of the opposite happening.

@RothTheReporter @EstebanwithanR You're also pretty damn good yourself, Andrew, and we're happy to have you on our side of the coin when we can!

Constantly impressed by @EstebanwithanR’s work. It’s also refreshing to see an outlet invest in dedicated visual coverage of the Capitol. Far too many treat it as an afterthought even though research is clear that photojournalism is vital to audience engagement and understanding.
