I am deeply saddened by the passing of Mr. Jim Bibbs.
Mr. Bibbs was a trailblazer famous for being named the first Black head coach at Michigan State University, and the first Black head track and field coach in Big Ten history.

Pete Hegseth’s plan to livestream Nidal Hasan’s execution will do nothing to honor the Americans killed at Fort Hood. This has never happened before in America, and for good reason.
I will forever feel, as a national security person by training, that the existential issue threatening the United States is not coming from abroad. It is coming from the deep threat to the middle class and the American dream.
It’s the reason we have Trump, but it spans beyond him.
It’s hard to believe that President Trump started another war in the Middle East, got us stuck, and now is forced to buy Russian oil from Putin, aiding and abetting the war Putin started in Ukraine, in which he's now stuck.
I think the lessons from how both countries came out of authoritarian government, and the different ways they did it, were really important.
There’s a playbook for these authoritarians, but there’s also a playbook to get out of it.
What we know here in the U.S. is that a new coalition is needed. No litmus testing people out of a movement for change.
Don Jr., the president’s son, had his wedding party paid for by a close friend of Vladimir Putin, a big Russian oligarch businessman.
Michigan lost a quiet giant this week.
Margaret Hamilton, who grew up in the Upper Peninsula and graduated from Hancock High School, went on to lead the team that wrote the onboard flight software that put Apollo 11 on the moon.
Nidal Hasan's crimes at Fort Hood were horrific. His actions destroyed families and he deserves no sympathy. But Pete Hegseth's decision to livestream his execution is not about Mr. Hasan — it's all about all of us.
The President is already using every tool at his disposal to intervene in our elections this November.
The TV ads that President Trump was running during football games were airing across the country, and there are serious questions about the use of taxpayer dollars to pay for them.
This isn't the only time in our country's history that we've had a rough period, even if it sometimes feels that way. About every generation we have an existential moment like the one we're having. So, how do we get through it?
Today marks three years since Hamas perpetrated the October 7 terrorist attack that killed nearly 1,200 Israelis, took 251 more hostage, and set off a chain of events that those in the Middle East — and back home in Michigan — are still grappling with.
A house is the most visible part of the American dream. If people can’t buy their first home, they get stuck.
One of the key tools authoritarians use is fear.
Just think about what Trump has done to institutions that don’t bow down to him.
In our Intel Briefing this week, I focused on four things:
1️⃣ Where are we on manufacturing jobs in Michigan
2️⃣Don Jr’s Russian-oligarch-funded wedding
3️⃣The anniversary of the Grand Blanc tragedy and what we can do now
4️⃣The President’s taxpayer funded TV ads
We need to make clear to the public that corruption at the top is taking money directly out of their pockets. When Trump gains, you lose.
Hearing firsthand about how the Hungarians have reclaimed their government gave me some real sparks of hope. Just five months ago, a pro-democracy movement in Hungary achieved what many thought was impossible. They beat their authoritarian leader.
From a few weeks ago. Not a view of Michigan you see everyday: Saginaw Bay and the start of the Thumb in the distance.
(And on a Blackhawk flown by the MI National Guard!)
We’re coming up on 30 days until the election, and people are worried about our elections. First and foremost, YES: our elections are safe and secure.
Our elections are administered by the states, and despite attempts by the president to interfere, our democracy is standing tall and pushing back.
