REMINDER: Mike Rogers Is An Election Denier and Threatened to Intimidate Detroit Voters
Ahead of President Trump's speech tonight where he is expected to push more lies that the 2020 presidential election was stolen, a reminder that failed GOP Senate candidate Mike Rogers has repeatedly spread an "evidence-free claim that the 2024 election was also stolen" from him--which Trump has embraced--and has called on off-duty cops to intimidate Detroit voters this November:
* Rogersfalsely claimed that "a single van carrying ballots in Detroit 'swung' his 2024 race," a baseless lie that Michigan's former elections director said "might be more ridiculous than similar claims made after the 2020 presidential election."
* Trump came to Detroit earlier this year and falsely claimed, without evidence, that the 2024 election was "rigged" against Rogers. Later that day, Rogers amplified and fundraised off Trump's stolen election claims.
* Rogers said he wants off-duty and retired police officers to monitor and flash their badges at Detroit voters during this November's election, "a move that would revive a strategy historically used to scare or intimidate voters of color." Rogers said these tactics were necessary so he doesn't "wake up at 4 a.m. a loser" again like he did in 2024.
* Rogers' campaign recently doubled down on their stolen election claims, saying there are still "lingering questions and concerns about the last election."
* Rogers has "surround[ed] himself with election deniers" and appointed senior leaders to his campaign who have "repeatedly questioned the results of the 2020 election."

John James' Family Bought SpaceX Stock As He Oversees Elon Musk's Company
New reporting today from NOTUS and The Detroit Metro Times uncovers that two-time statewide loser John James and his wife recently bought stock in SpaceX on the day the company went public--raising conflict-of-interest questions as James oversees policy questions that impact SpaceX from his position on the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
It's the first stock trade that James has disclosed since 2024,when he violated the STOCK Act by failing to disclose more than 145 trades.
"Members of Congress should not own or trade individual stocks in industries that they oversee," David Sherman, president and CEO of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics, told NOTUS. "It is an obvious conflict of interest that any regular person can understand. Public service is a choice. Not just for members, but for their immediate families."
The Metro Times noted that "the Energy and Commerce Committee routinely conducts oversight of the FCC and considers legislation affecting telecommunications, artificial intelligence, energy, and other industries in which Musk has substantial financial interests, giving James the opportunity to impact stock prices."

Detroit Metro Times (https://www.metrotimes.com/news/john-james-family-bought-spacex-stock-as-he-oversees-elon-musks-company/): John James' family bought SpaceX stock as he oversees Elon Musk's company
* U.S. Rep. John James and his wife invested as much as $50,000 in Elon Musk's SpaceX on the day the company went public, giving the Republican candidate for Michigan governor a financial stake in a business affected by decisions made by the congressional committee on which he serves.
* James disclosed the purchase of between $15,001 and $50,000 in SpaceX stock on June 12. It was the first stock transaction James has reported since a controversy over 145 trades that he failed to disclose on time in 2024.
* The purchase raises conflict-of-interest concerns because James serves on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which has jurisdiction over the Federal Communications Commission. The FCC regulates SpaceX's rapidly expanding Starlink satellite internet network and in January authorized the company to deploy an additional 7,500 satellites.
NOTUS (https://www.notus.org/money/congress-spacex-stock-trading): SpaceX Is House Members' Hot New Stock Pick
* James, who sits in the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, which is deeply influential on AI policy, reported that his wife purchased up to $50,000 in SpaceX stock on June 12, the same day the stock went public.

John James Once Again Begging for DeVos Cash at Swanky Fundraiser
As two-time statewide loser John James is facing backlash from grassroots primary voters across the state, he is once again set to beg for money from the DeVos family and their billionaire friends at a swanky fundraiser at the DeVos Residence in northern Michigan this evening. It's the second fundraiser the DeVos family have hosted for James this year.
Pamella and Dan DeVos are the main backers of the pro-Jamesgroup Mission Michigan, which has spent millions of dollars trying to prop up James in the MAGA primary for governor.
As he dines with the DeVoses, James voted to cut Medicaid last year in order to give tax giveaways to billionaires. James has also long supported the DeVos family's extreme anti-public school agenda that will hurt students and defund public schools.
The DeVos family has poured cash into James' failing campaigns over the years--including his two failed statewide races. In 2018, James sought to downplay his ties to Betsy DeVos, but then hired a family member after he received a $1 million campaign infusion.
"John James voted to give the DeVos family a massive tax cut while gutting Medicaid for working families and he's long supported the radical DeVos push to gut public schools," said Michigan Democratic Party spokesperson Derrick Honeyman. "James is only out for himself, his billionaire donors, and Donald Trump."

Cyclosporiasis Cases Rising Because of John James and Republican Cuts to CDC
Michigan is currently in the midst of the largest outbreak in the nation of a diarrhea-causing parasite, with more than 3,700 cases now reported across the state. The unprecedented outbreak of cyclosporiasis comes after John James, Donald Trump, and D.C. Republicans have gutted the CDC, including loosening federal monitoring of foodborne illnesses.
Michigan typically reports around 50 cyclosporiasiscases annually, but this year's record-breaking outbreak has inflicted "weeks of misery upon people who go untreated."
The CDC previously scaled back its monitoring of cyclosporiasis on July 1, 2025, with the CDC's Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network, or FoodNet, "to only include tracking for salmonella and E. coli. Tracking for other foodborne illnesses became optional." On Monday, former CDC Director Robert Redfield said on CDC that scaling back tracking of foodborne illnesses was not in the country's best interest.
While in D.C., James has voted in lockstep behind Trump's disastrous policies--and he's now touting Trump's endorsement as he runs for governor.
"This outbreak lands squarely at the feet of D.C. Republicans like John James, who sided with Donald Trump as he wreaked havoc on the CDC and made our food less safe," said Michigan Democratic Party spokesperson Derrick Honeyman. "Because of James and Trump, Michigan families have less money in their pockets and are now having to skip the produce and vegetable section at the grocery store to avoid this diarrhea-causing parasite."

Sununu's False Answer About Qatar Fuels Epstein-Files Fight [Washington Post]
John E. Sununu's "connections" to disgraced child sex predator Jefferey Epstein are back in the spotlight today as new bombshell reporting from The Washington Post exposed a "false answer" from the floundering Senate candidate, who Epstein said "has good stories" in a May 2010 email to associate Boris Nikolic.
Sununu's campaign is now being forced to walk back his past on-camera claims thathe had never been to Doha, Qatar, as the Post uncovered new images that place him at the very event "referenced in emails between Epstein and Nikolic."
See for yourself:
Washington Post: Sununu's false answer about Qatar fuels Epstein-files fight
* Back in March -- as questions in New Hampshire circulated about whether the Republican Senate candidate John Sununu had any connections to the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Boris Nikolic -- Sununu was asked a question.
* "Have you ever been to Doha, Qatar?" asked a person, camera in hand.
* "No," Sununu said, shaking his head.
* His campaign now tells us that answer was not true.
* Sununu traveled to Doha in 2001 and participated in a public World Economic Forum event there in 2010 -- the same event referenced in emails between Epstein and Nikolic.
* Those emails included one ambiguous mention of "John Sununu," [...]
* The emails were among correspondence released by the Justice Department earlier this year. In May 2010, Nikolic sent Epstein a list of attendees for a World Economic Forum event in Qatar. The 2010 WEF Global Redesign Summit in Doha was scheduled to begin days later. Nikolic asked Epstein for advice on whom he should meet a day before the event, and the late sex offender wrote, "John Sununu, has good stories," [...]
* The exchange spurred a controversy in New Hampshire as Sununu, the son of former New Hampshire governor John H. Sununu, mounted a Senate campaign to replace retiring Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D). [...]
* But that conversation is why Sununu was approached with the question in March.
* A photo of Sununu was also featured in a report that the World Economic Forum produced after the event. You can see his photo on Page 10.
* So why does this matter?
* Scott Brown, a former Massachusetts senator who has relocated to New Hampshire and is now running against Sununu in the September primary, has attempted to make the Epstein email an issue, arguing the emails "have raised serious questions" and using it to cast Sununu as an "insider" who connected "to a D.C. machine or elite social circles."
* "Voters shouldn't have to guess who, or which one of their representatives were associated, or what "stories" are being referenced in federal documents," Brown wrote on X in February.
* [...] It could, however, become an issue in the general election, where Sununu is expected to face Rep. Chris Pappas, the leading Democrat for his party's Senate nomination.
* And all of this underscores the deep political toxicity of even the most scant connection to Epstein.
* President Donald Trump has been dogged by his well-documented ties to the disgraced financier, and the issue has proved to be one of the few areas where the president's often loyal base has been willing to break with him.
* The Epstein issue was also front and center Wednesday when acting attorney general Todd Blanche testified before the Senate as he vies to become Trump's permanent pick for the job. Blanche acknowledged in his testimony that "mistakes were made" in how the administration handled the so-called Epstein files, but that he wanted to "make sure that the American people know that this administration, when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein, has been more transparent than any administration."
* Asked about this reporting on Wednesday, New Hampshire Democratic Party Chair Ray Buckley said Sununu had been "caught in his egregious lie" and needed to explain "the extent of John Sununu's involvement with Jeffrey Epstein."

New bombshell reporting from CNN's KFILE has exposed GOP Senate candidate Mike Collins' son-in-law - David Alan Scheer II - as "a pro-White nationalist and social media influencer with a track record of sharing antisemitic material and Nazi imagery in comments across the internet."
Scheer - who is featured on Collins' campaign website, attended his primary victory party, hasproduced and narrated videos for Collins' trucking company, and is registered to vote at a Collins-owned property adjacent to Collins' home - has promoted the white supremacist hate group Patriot Front, spread racist, Islamophobic, and antisemitic conspiracy theories, declared there is "nothing wrong with White Nationalism," asserted Jews have "captured American politics," and has claimed that "[...] Gen-Z doesn't hate Hitler."
These allegations are the "latest example of a far-right figure in Collins' orbit" and add to a long and growing list of disqualifying scandals for the Congressman's floundering, broke campaign.
See for yourself:
CNN KFILE: GOP Senate candidate has close ties to White nationalist influencer, his son-in-law (https://edition.cnn.com/2026/07/16/politics/kfile-mike-collins-georgia-senate-race-son-in-law-white-nationalist-social-media-content?code=CNNPVLG032026)
* Republican Senate candidate Mike Collins has built a national profile as a combative, Trump-aligned online provocateur -- a style that has repeatedly drawn scrutiny over his associations with far-right figures, inflammatory social media posts and accusations of antisemitism, which he has denied.
* Now, one of the starkest examples of extremism in the Georgia congressman's orbit appears much closer to home: his son-in-law, David Alan Scheer II, a pro-White nationalist and social media influencer with a track record of sharing antisemitic material and Nazi imagery in comments across the internet.
* Scheer, who is married to Collins' daughter, Summer, is featured in family photographs on Collins' campaign website and social media. He attended Collins' Senate primary election-night victory party and appears to have helped produce promotional work for Collins' trucking company. Scheer is registered to vote at a Collins-owned property adjacent to the congressman's large home in Georgia.
* On Instagram, Scheer recently shared multiple posts promoting Patriot Front, the White supremacist hate group that descended on Washington, DC, over July 4th weekend. He has amassed more than 1.5 million followers across TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and Telegram by posting about fitness, masculinity and Christianity.
* On those same platforms, Scheer has promoted White nationalist ideology, spread antisemitic conspiracy theories, called for Muslims to be deported and shared an antisemitic infographic targeting Jews that he said his wife (Collins' daughter) made.
* On a podcast from last November, Scheer warned that White people were being driven toward extinction and said restoring an America populated by people of White European descent would require "clearing our land of other people."
* The posts and comments are the latest example of a far-right figure in Collins' orbit as he faces off against Democratic incumbent Sen. Jon Ossoff in a pivotal race.
* Collins, who built a national reputation as an online provocateur, has faced repeated criticism for his associations with far-right and extremist figures. In May, he fired a longtime aide who posted from Collins' campaign account mocking a rival campaign adviser's wife and her sexual assault claims.
* Scheer has espoused hateful rhetoric against Jews and Muslims. Just weeks ago, after a monthslong social media hiatus, Scheer asked his followers on Telegram, which he has linked to on other platforms, to vote on a poll on whether he should make a video on "why Gen-Z doesn't hate Hitler." He later deleted the poll, but CNN saved the post.
* In a YouTube video posted in November 2025 to his nearly 350,000 subscribers, Scheer invoked the "Jewish Bolsheviks" conspiracy theory, an antisemitic narrative embraced by Nazi Germany that portrayed communism as a Jewish plot and blamed Jews collectively for Soviet atrocities.
* "Sixty million Christians that were killed by Jewish Bolsheviks in the early 1900s right before World War II," Scheer said in the video. "They don't tell us the history about Germany before World War II. All we're told is, 'Germany bad, Hitler evil, don't ask questions, Holocaust, Holocaust, Holocaust, here's 50 movies every year about the Holocaust and why it's so bad.'"
* Scheer encouraged viewers to "do some digging" into who writes history textbooks while earlier claiming Jews were responsible for "porn," "killing JFK," the 9/11 terror attacks and the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Scheer repeated the unproven claim that Jeffrey Epstein worked for Israel's intelligence service, Mossad, and blackmailed politicians into supporting an "Israel first" agenda.
* After a commenter on YouTube noted that his post had a note of "anti-Semitism and white nationalism that is disturbing," Scheer replied, "There's nothing wrong with White Nationalism."
* In a post last year on Telegram, Scheer shared an infographic claiming Jews control the US government through financial influence, attributing the graphic to his wife.
* The infographic argued that Jewish donors, advocacy groups and institutions had captured American politics and were directing US policy on behalf of Israel. One panel claimed that an "ethnically cohesive interest group" had seized control of US foreign policy and concluded: "This is treason." Scheer encouraged followers to "Save it and Share it everywhere."
* On Telegram in June 2025, Scheer also posted a series of antisemitic infographics blaming Jews for being responsible for "every single aspect" of gun control, abortion, the LBGTQ movement and "pornography and hook up culture." Two claimed that Jews control the media and the Federal Reserve. The infographics show pictures of prominent Jewish politicians, activists, economists and business owners with the Star of David on their foreheads or by their names.
* Records suggest Scheer lives on a property owned by Collins and appears to have produced promotional videos for Collins' trucking company. Scheer has been registered to vote since September 2024 at a house adjacent to Collins' estate, according to voter and property records.
* He also appears to have narrated promotional videos for Collins' trucking company; in one YouTube post filmed in front of trucks, he said he was making videos for a "client." Videos reviewed by CNN show Scheer in July and November 2024 discussing a move to a new home in a new state, around the same time Georgia property records indicate the new Collins-owned house was built.
* Collins previously faced criticism in 2024 over alleged antisemitic social media posts, his defense of January 6 rioters who he said deserved pardons and his associations with far-right activists and staffers.
* In 2024, Collins shared a video of pro-Israel counterprotesters at the University of Mississippi that included a White student making ape-like gestures toward a Black woman. Collins later said the incident was not the "focal point" of the video he shared that may have contained "potentially inappropriate behavior." The NAACP urged an ethics investigation of Collins over the tweet, though one was never launched.
* Collins has also drawn criticism for social media posts invoking political violence.
* In February 2024, responding to a photo of a Venezuelan migrant arrested for alleged involvement in assaulting a police officer in New York City, Collins wrote: "Or we could buy him a ticket on Pinochet Air for a free helicopter ride back."
* The remark referenced a long-running far-right meme tied to Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet, whose regime killed political opponents by throwing some victims from helicopters during the country's military dictatorship. The charges against the Venezuelan migrant were later dropped after police said he had been misidentified as being involved in the assault.
* The post was temporarily removed from X for violating its rules about violent speech, though it was later reinstated after Collins pleaded to the owner of X, Elon Musk. After the post returned to the platform, it included a note saying that while it violated the platform's rules, "X has determined that it may be in the public's interest for the Post to remain accessible."
* Collins celebrated by posting, "Never delete. Never surrender."
* In another instance, responding to a video about migrants near the southern border in December 2023, Collins wrote, "This is when you switch from 40mm to the 105" -- a reference to escalating from a 40mm round to a larger 105mm artillery weapon.
* In May, Collins' campaign made headlines when one of his top aides posted a derisive tweet about an adviser to the PAC of Collins' then-opponent, Derek Dooley, on the campaign X account. The adviser's wife is a former NBC News staffer who had previously accused former anchor Matt Lauer of sexual assault, to which the post made a mocking reference.
* Also in May, Slate reported that Collins' chief of staff, Kip Talley, participated in a group chat with White nationalist figures Nick Fuentes and Richard Spencer and discussed efforts to assist far-right activist, Charles C. Johnson, who has made comments questioning the Holocaust, while he was jailed on contempt-related charges. Talley told Slate he acted in a personal capacity after hearing concerns about Johnson's treatment in custody and said he did not act at Collins' direction.
* In 2024, Collins replied to a post from an antisemitic social media account that appeared to reference a Washington Post reporter's Jewish heritage. "Never was a second thought," Collins wrote.
* After facing backlash, Collins defended the exchange, writing: "I guess pointing out that a Washington Post journo excusing crime because she believes USA is on 'stolen land' makes her a garbage human is anti-Semitic? Y'all just see stuff that ain't there."
* Last year, Collins also dismissed concerns about a leaked Young Republicans group chat that contained racist, antisemitic and pro-Nazi messages.
* After Politico reported that members of the chat had praised Adolf Hitler, joked about gas chambers and exchanged racist slurs, Collins responded on social media: "I don't care about some group chat" and included a photo of Laken Riley, the Georgia nursing student whose murder by an undocumented immigrant became a rallying cry for Republicans in pushing stricter immigration policies.
* Within a YouTube comment section from a video posted in November 2025, Scheer liked one comment in German quoting a 1930s marching song co-opted by the Nazis called "Erika." In English it translates to, "On the heath, there blooms a little flower."
* Scheer encouraged viewers to check out his Telegram channel. Three days later, he wrote, "The support has been insane on the last video^ We're going to retake America for Christian White men!"
* In one Instagram post from June 2025, Scheer posted a meme of a family cradling a baby with an eagle in the background. The text overlay reads, "I want to make babies Not die for Israel."
* Scheer captioned the Instagram post, "If you haven't noticed, we all have a common enemy."
* The image was taken from a Nazi propaganda poster from the 1930s that reads, "Die NSDAP sichert die Volksgemeinschaft," which translates to "The Nazi Party protects the people's community."
* In a podcast posted last November, Scheer warned that White people were being driven toward extinction, saying "they're trying to kill us" and claiming their share of the global population had fallen from 30% in the 1950s to 7%.
* He argued that restoring community required "clearing our land of other people" and later pushed for keeping Somalis, Mexicans and Nigerians in their home countries so he could "enjoy my slice of this world with my people." Scheer also blamed "Israel and Zionist Jews" for policies he said were intended to "undermine the White Christian nature of America."
* "I know there's people out there right now that are just cursing us at the screen, just completely just hating us," Scheer said. "And I feel bad for him, man. I pity them because, at the end of the day, if it's a White European man, he's my brother, and if he hates me, it's because he's misguided. There's no other answer to it."
* He also said, "I do believe that the more homogenous a culture is, the more it thrives."
* In the same episode, Scheer made disparaging remarks about Black Americans and Indians. "If you look at how many Black people have been on welfare and EBT and food stamps, it's like, actually they owe us like $2 trillion," he said, adding that "that whole 40 acres and a mule thing" meant "y'all owe us $2 trillion now."
* Responding to Hindu commenters, Scheer told them to "get your country straight" and contrasted what he called the "magnificent civilization" created by Christians with Indians "covering" themselves "in cow crap."

WASHINGTON, July 18 -- The Democratic National Committee posted the following news release on July 17, 2026:

Trump's Approval Drops to Historic Lows as Even His Strongest Supporters Turn Their Backs on Him
Trump's base of supporters is shrinking and losing enthusiasm heading into the midterm elections
-
Donald Trump's approval rating is tanking, and even his most loyal supporters are fed up with him. A new poll released yesterday showed a dismal 15% of people "strongly approve" of Trump's job performance -- a record low in the poll's history and 12 points lower than when Trump returnedto office.
Only 6% of independents "strongly approved" of Trump, compared to a staggering 71% total disapproval rating and 51% who "strongly disapproved." Just 41% of Republicans and 43% of Trump's 2024 voters approved of him strongly. Most notably, Trump's base is shrinking: Among white voters who didn't graduate from college -- what is supposed to be one of the strongest demographics for Trump -- just 24% "strongly approved" of him.
In response, DNC Spokesperson Jaelin O'Halloran released the following statement:
"Donald Trump promised to 'lower costs on Day One,' stop endless wars, 'drain the swamp,' and release the Epstein files -- and without fail he has betrayed every single promise. It's no wonder even his strongest supporters have turned their backs on him and his base is falling apart. As the midterms approach, Americans are stuck with sky-high prices and a massive bill for another deadly and costly war Trump can't get out of while Trump uses the presidency as a cash-grab to enrich himself, his family, and his rich donors. Trump's support is plummeting to record lows, leaving Republicans heading towards a humiliating defeat in the midterms."
