To recap the Aug. 4 primary elections, MIRS sits down with Lansing-based Andrea Bitely – a moderate Republican – and Democratic Socialist Jessica Newman, a political operative in Ferndale (1:30).  How will Democrat U.S. Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed try to connect with Detroit seniors, Macomb County's pro-Trump autoworkers and "Reagan Democrats", and the pre-Trump Republicans in white collar Oakland County? Also, what might be Republican U.S. Senate nominee Mike Rogers' courting strategy to win Democratic voters who wanted Congresswoman Haley Stevens (D-Birmingham) to win the primary? Additionally, they discuss who might vote YES on summoning a state Constitutional Convention in November, and whether Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, Democrat nominee for Governor, is prepared for a "fire hose" of negative ads from Republicans.

In this episode, I sit down with Transportation Riders United executive director Megan Owens to unpack Wayne County's transit millage and what it could mean for riders in Detroit and the suburbs. We get into how countywide service could end "opt‑out" communities, bring buses and microtransit to places like Livonia, Canton and Plymouth, and better connect rural townships to trunk lines. I also talk with Megan about a new $25 million BUILD grant for Gratiot, Macomb County's renewal interest in SMART, and how to actually find the transit question at the bottom of your ballot.

Is now a good time to move to Metro Detroit? In this video, I break down the latest Southeast Michigan housing market data using Realcomp MLS numbers through May 2026 and explain what it actually means for buyers, sellers, and relocation clients considering a move to Michigan.Inventory is rising across Metro Detroit, buyer leverage is starting to improve, and each county is telling a very different story. Wayne County offers some of the strongest affordability in the region, Oakland County remains one of the most established suburban markets, Macomb County is showing some of the strongest growth, Washtenaw County continues to command a premium around Ann Arbor, and Livingston and St. Clair County offer more space and lifestyle tradeoffs.If you're relocating to Michigan from another state, this video will help you understand where your money may go further, which counties fit different lifestyles, and why Metro Detroit is not one single housing market. The right move depends on your budget, commute, schools, lifestyle, and long-term goals — not just what shows up first on Zillow.

Last week, The Lever's David Sirota traveled to Michigan to meet with Democratic Senate candidate and former public health official Abdul El-Sayed, who has become a political lightning rod as he campaigns in one of the country's most consequential primaries.  Today on Lever Time, we're airing Sirota's exclusive interview with El-Sayed. Speaking at a coffee shop in Macomb County — the Michigan county that birthed the term “Reagan Democrats” and where Trump won twice — they discuss how El-Sayed plans to pass Medicare For All, why AIPAC is spending millions to defeat him, and why he doesn't want corporate Democrats' invitations to cocktail parties.

Michigan is full of towns that once had mills, mines, hotels, post offices, rail depots, docks, stores and big plans. Then the timber ran out. The copper market fell. The railroad moved. The dunes shifted. The fires came. The ships stopped calling. And in many cases, the town simply faded from the map.In this episode of End of the Road in Michigan, we take a lively trip through some of Michigan's most interesting ghost towns, from the Upper Peninsula to the Thumb and the Lake Michigan shore. These are not just spooky names on old maps. They were working communities built around lumber, copper, salt, fishing, shipping, farming and tourism.The episode covers well-known and lesser-known Michigan ghost towns, including Fayette, Freda, Sigma, Berne, Alabaster, Linkville, New River and Port Crescent, along with added stops at Singapore, Port Oneida, Pere Cheney, Old Victoria, Nonesuch, Disco, Aral, Edgewater, Good Harbor, Glen Haven, Central Mine and Clifton.Some towns, like Fayette, survive as preserved historic sites. Others, like Singapore, were swallowed by Lake Michigan sand after the timber was cut away. Port Crescent, once a busy Lake Huron port near the Pinnebog River, had sawmills, salt works, hotels, shops and more than 500 residents before fire, timber losses and shifting industry left only traces behind. Today, its former townsite sits within Port Crescent State Park.The story also includes Pere Cheney, a Crawford County lumber town now better known for its cemetery legends than its railroad and sawmill history. In the western Upper Peninsula, Old Victoria and Nonesuch tell the story of copper mining towns where good engineering and big hopes still could not beat falling prices or difficult ore. And then there is Disco, a real 19th-century Macomb County settlement with a name that arrived long before mirrored balls and Saturday night dance floors.This episode asks a simple question: Why do towns vanish? In Michigan, the answer often comes down to one industry, one railroad line, one dock, one mine or one mill. When that reason for being disappeared, the town usually followed.Along the way, we look at the strange, funny and often sobering history of Michigan ghost towns. These were not empty places. They were homes. They had churches, schools, stores, blacksmiths, mills, cemeteries, boarding houses and people who thought their town had a future.So take a ride down the back roads, old rail grades and forgotten shorelines of Michigan history. This episode of End of the Road in Michigan is about the places that boomed, burned, shifted, sank, emptied out or simply lost the fight with time.The End of the Road in Michigan is a production of Thumbwind Publications

Subscribe to our YouTube channel On our political radar this week… Donald Trump says he's getting bored with his war, doesn't care about the mid-terms … but is laser focused on what matters: his reflecting pond renovation, diverting money from national parks for his D.C. cleanup, the Arc ‘d Trump, taking over DC golf courses, the UFC version of the ancient gladiator battles to the death, and reminding us daily that he's passed a dementia screening test four times. His latest middle finger to the nation: suggesting that the Las Vegas-style Fight Club arena on what used to be the White House lawn become a permanent part of the landscape. Vegas has the Dome and Elvis Wedding chapel; the home of Presidents, if Trump has his way, will have its own dome and a massive wedding reception hall. And it's being reported that Trump is looting money from National Parks maintenance to pay for his July 4 fireworks show, the Reflecting Pool, a White House helipad and DC cleanup projects. He'll burn up 1.6-million dollars blowing up stuff on the 4th … even as he burns up billions every week blowing up stuff in Iran. In an administration populated by the absolutely worst cabinet in American history, Trump manages to lower the bar even further with the appointment of Michigander housing developer and certified Trump suck-up Bill Pulte as acting Director of National Intelligence, a job for which he has absolutely no qualifications. Actors Matt Damon and John Krasinski … a.k.a. Jason Bourne and Jack Ryan … would be more qualified. Adding the the Bad Cabinet Blues: the new director of Homeland Security, Markwayne Mullins, says as far as he's concerned following court orders is optional. Michigan Democrats are optimistic after making the case to the national party that Michigan should be in the first tier of 2028 presidential primaries. The state party has also rejected appeals related to vote counting in the April endorsement convention. Will the dispute extend to the official nominating convention in August? The state House has turned down a Republican-drafted constitutional amendment which would make all university boards and the State Board of Education gubernatorial appointed bodies instead of elected. Speaker Matt Hall didn't bother to talk with Democrats before putting the measure up for a vote. With a two-thirds vote needed to pass, it didn't come close to adoption, but could be revived for the November election. We are just 50 days away from the start of early voting in Michigan. The four races to watch: the 3-way Republican contest for the opportunity to battle Jocelyn Benson for Governor; the 3-way Democratic contest to battle Mike Rogers for the U.S. Senate; and multi-candidate Democratic primaries for Congressional seats based in Lansing and Macomb County. Speculation has begun over who may be in the running for President of Michigan State University in the wake of last week's departure of Kevin Guskiewicz. Will it be a relatively unknown academic, or a high-powered retired politician? There's precedent for both routes…although the highest profile possibility, Gretchen Whitmer, has already announced she is not interested in the gig. Republicans in Congress are starting to push back on Trump outrages – the House passing a measure to stop Trump's Middle East war, Senators stripping the one-billion-dollar subsidy for his ballroom from the DHS budget, and both chambers primed to outlaw efforts to revive the $1.8-billion slush fund for rewarding January 6 rioters and other Trump fans. It's interesting that congressional Republicans only started to show signs of life after candidate filing deadlines. Michigan Congressman Tom Barrett, who no longer faces the possibility of a primary challenge, was one of four Republicans voting this week to end the Iran War.  The political threat to non-compliant Republicans for pushing back against Great Leader comes as doubts about Trump's mental and physical health grow. His third physical examination since taking office coupled with an incomplete post-exam report on what the doctors learned, his reduced work schedule, the cankles and bruising – have increased the speculation. It sure looks like both his political and mental powers are in decline. This week's best political giggle: an AI doctored photo of Senate candidate Mike Rogers, turning his relatively fit 63-year-old body into a modern-day Charles Atlas. What the heck – it's easier than hours in the gym, or even going on Ozempic. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Introducing our new podcast!

On our political radar this week… In between Oval Office naps, his costly, tacky fixations on the Reflecting Pool on the National mall and his $1-billion NOW TAXPAYER FUNDED ballroom, misogyny toward female reporters, rage posting on Truth Social, his bizarre, constant bragging about his regularly scheduled dementia tests, and stuffing his pockets full of payola from domestic and foreign tycoons and potentates, Donald Trump did Democrats a huge favor – voicing a soon-to-be Democratic campaign commercials in every competitive state and district across the fruited plain proclaiming “I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation, I don’t think about anybody…” © Clay Jones – https://claytoonz.substack.com New polling, paid for by the Greater Detroit Chamber of Commerce, shows the Chamber's endorsed candidate for Governor with Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson taking the lead. The same poll says it's a virtual three-way tie for the Democrats' U.S. Senate nomination. A second poll, paid for by MIRS News, shows Benson's lead growing to 12 points. The two leading Republican candidates for Governor are engaged in a reprise of the sad GOP song of 4 years ago … problems with nominating petition signatures. But John James and Perry “Quality Guru” Johnson aren't the only Republicans with unplanned campaign hiccups. First district Congressman Jack Bergman faces a possible ethics violation over extracurricular moneymaking efforts by his congressional staff. And US Senate candidate Mike Rogers has some unseemly ties to child sex predators. In the Macomb County based 10th district, GOP candidate Robert Luljguraj is accused of lying about where he lives on his state paperwork. It all adds up to some interesting times at the State Elections Bureau.  In this week's chapter of Trump's Perpetual Grifting, it's looking like the highly promoted but non-existent Trump phone ain't gonna happen. The 600,000 true believers who put down deposits of $100 seem unlikely to get their money back … but in the meantime, the Huckster Trumps have fleeced  $60-million from the rubes. Also new on the Trump Perpetual Grifting beat: – The BBC reports that Trump is selling sponsorships of his oh-so-tacky UFC match at the White House for up to $1.5 million. No word on who gets the money, but it isn't hard to guess. –The Wall Street Journal revealed that Trump is considering issuing 250 pardons in conjunction with the USA 250 celebration. So far, no pardon prices have been announced. –He's being sued in Florida for plans to have a for-profit hotel inside his Presidential museum … on land given him by the state that's worth around $67-million. –Construction of the above-ground portion of his ballroom is underway in direct violation of a court order, and –Preliminary work has begun on his Arch De' TACO, er Trump … without legally required authorization. Inflation has soared to its highest level in 3 years and shows every sign of climbing higher and higher. Trump's response, as usual, is to promise that things will get lots better … later. In “about two weeks.” The “good news, bad news”: 81-year-old Rudy Giuliani has recovered from the pneumonia that sent him to the ICU last week, and we're happy that he's apparently survived the medical crisis. The bad news: he's resumed his podcast. A Republic, If You Can Keep It is sponsored in part by

Ahead of Michigan Democrats' April 19 endorsement convention, MIRS sits down with Suzanna Shkreli, the former state lottery commissioner running for Secretary of State.  Suzanna talks about her "night-and-day" career switch of going from prosecuting crimes against children in Macomb County to handing over checks to Powerball winners. She has a vision of a Department of State with more self-serving kiosks, mobile units and digital driver's licenses.  She also says that Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist, her opponent, told her "point blank that he didn't want this job" ahead of her getting in last December (1:26).  Also, MIRS catches up with term-limited state Sen. Roger Victory (R-Hudsonville), who's introducing himself as "Farmer Rog" as he runs for Michigan State University's trustee board (29:47).

If you've ever dreamed about living on a lake in Michigan, you're not alone. But once you start researching lake homes in Southeast Michigan, you quickly realize something: not all lakes are the same.

We'll cover popular lake communities across Oakland County, Livingston County, Washtenaw County, Macomb County, Monroe County, and Wayne County, including well-known destinations like Lake St. Clair, Cass Lake, Orchard Lake, Lake Orion, Whitmore Lake, Chemung Lake, Crooked Lake, and Lake Erie waterfront communities.Whether you're searching for a full-time lake home, second home, retirement property, or relocation destination, understanding how each lake behaves year-round is critical before buying.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they react to a lefty lawyer failing to define what a woman is to the Supreme Court, Michigan election officials refusing to clean up voter rolls, and new reports suggesting the mystery behind Havana Syndrome may finally be solved.First, they zero in on an ACLU lawyer who failed to define “girl,” “woman,” “man,” or “boy” when questioned by Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito during oral arguments over whether boys should be allowed to play girls' sports if they identify as girls. Jim says laws need to be precise and the left's arguments are always ambiguous and shifting.Next, Jim and Greg shake their heads at Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson's office refusing to assist the Macomb County clerk in removing non-citizens from the voter rolls. Jim leans on some epic 90's references to explain just how derelict Benson's office is on this issue.Finally, they're intrigued by new reports indicating the U.S. government may have identified the cause of Havana Syndrome, the mysterious and debilitating condition suffered by top U.S. military and intelligence officials in Cuba, China, the U.S. and other places around the world. And is it possible we used this same technology on the mission in Venezuela?Please visit our great sponsors:Improve your sleep with Brooklyn Bedding.

From Macomb County, Michigan comes word that hundreds of citizens are not eligible to be jurors because they are illegal aliens. The county clerk issued a statement saying that they discovered 239 non-citizens in the jury pool over a four-month period. Even worse - 14 were registered to vote and at least one voted in numerous elections. Right now, anyone who applies for a driver’s license is automatically registered to vote. If it’s that big of a problem in Macomb County - imagine what it's like in other counties.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
