WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Justice Department, Pam Bondi, is set to face questions on Capitol Hill on Wednesday over her loyalty to the Republican president-elect, who has vowed to use the agency to pursue revenge on his perceived political enemies.

The former Florida attorney general and corporate lobbyist would be one of the most closely scrutinized members of Trump’s Cabinet if she’s confirmed to lead the department that prosecuted the once and future president in two separate criminal cases that never went to trial.

Here’s what to know about Bondi ahead of her confirmation hearing:

She’s a close Trump ally and long-time defender

Bondi has been a fixture in Trump’s orbit for years, and a regular defender of the president-elect on news programs amid his legal woes. She’s likely to face many questions over her public statements criticizing the criminal cases against Trump, given his threats to seek retribution against those he believes have wronged him.

“The Department of Justice, the prosecutors will be prosecuted — the bad ones,” Bondi said in a 2023 Fox News appearance. “The investigators will be investigated.”

Bondi said members of the so-called deep state were “hiding in the shadows” during Trump’s first term, “but now they have a spotlight on them, and they can all be investigated.”

Bondi traveled to New York last May to support Trump in court while he stood trial in his hush money criminal case. Trump was sentenced last week to no punishment in that case after his jury conviction on 34 felony counts.

After Trump’s guilty verdict in that case, Bondi said during another Fox News appearance — alongside Trump’s pick for FBI director, Kash Patel — that “a tremendous amount of trust is lost in the justice system tonight.” She added: “The American people see through it.”

On a radio show last August, she compared special counsel Jack Smith to “a rabid dog” after he brought a new 2020 election interference indictment against Trump in the wake of the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling. Smith abandoned that case — and the separate classified documents case — after Trump’s November victory, citing Justice Department policy not to prosecute sitting presidents.

Florida’s first female attorney general

Bondi was first elected Florida attorney general in 2010, defeating Democratic state Sen. Dan Gelber after earning the endorsement of former Republican Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

As Florida attorney general, Bondi led a challenge brought by more than two dozen states to President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul. The U.S. Supreme Court ultimately upheld the health care law. Bondi also fought to uphold Florida’s ban on same-sex marriage — arguing that marriage should be defined by each state.

One of her top priorities as attorney general was going after so-called pill mills, or clinics that hand out large amounts of prescription painkillers and helped fuel the country’s opioid crisis.

Bondi faced an ethics probe after she personally solicited a 2013 political contribution from Trump as her office was weighing whether to join New York in suing over fraud allegations involving Trump University.

Trump cut a $25,000 check to a political committee supporting Bondi from his family’s charitable foundation, in violation of legal prohibitions against charities supporting partisan political activities. After the check came in, Bondi’s office nixed suing Trump’s company for fraud, citing insufficient grounds to proceed.

Both Trump and Bondi denied wrongdoing, the state’s ethics commission tossed the complaints and a prosecutor assigned by then-GOP Gov. Rick Scott determined there was insufficient evidence to support bribery charges over the donation.

Before becoming Florida attorney general, Bondi spent 18 years in the Hillsborough County State Attorney’s Office, prosecuting cases “ranging from domestic violence to capital murder,” according to her bio at Ballard Partners, the lobbying firm she joined in 2019. Among the cases she handled was the 2006 prosecution of baseball star Dwight Gooden, who was sent to prison for violating his probation by using cocaine.

She spent years lobbying on behalf of companies such as Amazon

Democrats are likely to press Bondi on her years as a lobbyist and the potential conflicts of interest posed by her work for corporations and other entities that could face scrutiny by the Justice Department.

Records show that between 2019 and 2024, Bondi was registered to represent 30 clients, including businesses such as Uber and Amazon during her time at Ballard Partners, a lobbying firm headed by Brian Ballard, who has ties to Trump, according to advocacy group Public Citizen.

She led Ballard Partners’ corporate regulatory compliance practice, which focuses on helping Fortune 500 companies “implement best practices that proactively address public policy challenges such as human trafficking, opioid abuse and personal data privacy,” according to her Ballard Partners bio.

She registered as a foreign agent for the government of Qatar for work related to anti-human-trafficking efforts leading up to the World Cup, held in 2022. She also represented the KGL Investment Company KSCC, a Kuwaiti firm also known as KGLI. The firm paid Ballard $300,000 in 2019 to lobby the White House, National Security Council, State Department and Congress on immigration policy, human rights and economic sanctions issues.

Beyond her lobbying work, she also served as chair of the Center for Litigation and co-chair for the Center for Law and Justice at the America First Policy Institute, a think tank set up by former Trump administration staffers to lay the groundwork for his potential second term. Her work in that role included filing a brief in the Supreme Court in support of a public high school football coach who was fired for praying on the field after games.

She was part of Trump’s first impeachment trial defense team

Bondi stepped away from lobbying in 2020 to defend Trump during his first impeachment trial against allegations that Trump abused the power of his office when he pressured Ukraine’s president during a phone call to investigate then-presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, ahead of the 2020 election.

Trump, who denied any wrongdoing, was impeached in the U.S. House of Representatives and acquitted in the U.S. Senate.

Bondi was brought on to bolster the White House’s messaging and communications. Trump and his allies sought to delegitimize the impeachment from the start, aiming to brush off the whole thing as a farce.

Bondi backed Trump’s effort to challenge the 2020 election results

Bondi supported Trump’s efforts to challenge his 2020 loss to Biden, traveling in the days after the election to Pennsylvania, where she claimed the campaign had evidence of “cheating.”

Bondi appeared at a press conference in Philadelphia the day after the 2020 election alongside then-Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani. The former New York City mayor has since lost his law license in New York and Washington, D.C., after pursuing false claims that Trump made about his election loss.

At the press conference, Giuliani suggested that bogus ballots could be flooding in from “Mars” or nearby Camden, New Jersey — or, he said: “Joe Biden could have voted 50 times, as far as we know, or 5,000 times.” Bondi said poll workers in Philadelphia were keeping Republican poll watchers too far back and preventing them from doing their jobs.

“We’ve won Pennsylvania and we want every vote to be counted in a fair way,” Bondi said.

The next day during an appearance on Fox & Friends, Bondi declared there was “evidence of cheating.”

“We are not going anywhere until they declare that we won Pennsylvania,” Bondi said, alleging there were “fake ballots coming in late.” But when the anchor pressed her again on those “fake ballots,” she responded: “There could be — that’s the problem…We don’t know.”

Bondi went on to claim that ballots were “dumped,” and that “people were receiving ballots that were dead.”

There is no evidence of widespread voter fraud that changed the outcome of the 2020 election.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Lawmakers on Capitol Hill on Wednesday will question President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to lead the CIA on his vision for America’s premier spy agency.

John Ratcliffe, who served as director of national intelligence during Trump’s first term, is a former federal prosecutor and conservative member of Congress representing a district in Texas. He was a fierce defender of Trump during his first impeachment proceedings in the House.

His hearing before the Senate Intelligence Committee is part of a weeklong marathon as the Republican-led Senate rushes to have some of Trump’s nominees ready to be confirmed by the full Senate as soon as Inauguration Day on Monday.

If approved, Ratcliffe will succeed outgoing CIA Director William Burns.

Trump first tapped Ratcliffe to serve as director of national intelligence in 2019, but he quickly withdrew from consideration after lawmakers raised questions about his qualifications. He was ultimately confirmed by a sharply divided Senate after Trump resubmitted the nomination.

As director of national intelligence, Ratcliffe oversaw and coordinated the work of more than a dozen spy agencies. Among other duties, the office directs efforts to detect and counter foreign efforts to influence U.S. politics.

That experience is expected to boost Ratcliffe’s chances in the Senate this year, especially compared with Trump’s nomination of Tulsi Gabbard to serve as director of national intelligence. Gabbard, a former congresswoman from Hawaii, has faced bipartisan criticism over past comments supportive of Russia and 2017 meetings with former Syrian President Bashar Assad.

Like other Trump nominees, Ratcliffe is a Trump loyalist. Aside from his work to defend Trump during his first impeachment proceedings, Ratcliffe also forcefully questioned former special counsel Robert Mueller when he testified before lawmakers about his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

As director of national intelligence, Ratcliffe was accused by Democrats of politicizing intelligence when he declassified Russian intelligence that purported to reveal information about Democrats during the 2016 election even as he acknowledged the information might not be accurate.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Florida Sen. Marco Rubio is promising to implement President-elect Donald Trump’s “America First” vision as secretary of state, vowing in his confirmation hearing Wednesday that the incoming administration will forge a new path by placing American interests “above all else.”

“Placing our core national interests above all else is not isolationism,” Rubio will tell the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, according to an opening statement obtained by The Associated Press. “It is the commonsense realization that a foreign policy centered on our national interest is not some outdated relic.”

“The postwar global order is not just obsolete; it is now a weapon being used against us,” Rubio says.

It’s a remarkable opening salvo from Rubio, who was born in Miami to Cuban immigrants, and who, if confirmed, would become the first Latino ever to serve as the nation’s top diplomat.

The confirmation hearing begins a new chapter in the political career of the 53-year-old Florida Republican, whose relationship with Trump has evolved over the last decade. Once rivals trading schoolyard insults as they campaigned for president in 2016, the two men became close allies as Trump campaigned for another White House term last year.

Rubio first came to Washington as part of the “tea party” wave in 2010 and once advocated for allowing a path to citizenship for immigrants in the country illegally. But like other Republicans, Rubio’s views on immigration have shifted toward the hardline stance of Trump, who has pledged to aggressively pursue deportations once he takes office on Monday.

Unlike many of Trump’s Cabinet selections, Rubio is expected to easily win confirmation, notching support not only from Republicans but also Democrats who endorse him as a “responsible” pick to represent the U.S. abroad. Many expect he will be among the first of Trump’s Cabinet picks approved.

Democratic Sen. Brian Schatz, who served alongside Rubio on the Foreign Relations Committee, said he has high hopes that the Florida Republican will reject the isolationist approach of other Trump allies.

“I think Marco is a hawk, but he’s also an internationalist, and I think the challenge for him will be to maintain the long bipartisan tradition of America being indispensable in world affairs,” the Hawaii lawmaker told AP. “And there are people in the Trump world who want us to run away from being the leaders of the free world. And I’m hoping that Marco’s instincts towards American strength will win the day.”

Rubio’s approach to foreign affairs is grounded in his years of service on the Foreign Relations committee and the Senate Intelligence panel. In his speeches and writings, he’s delivered increasingly stern warnings about growing military and economic threats to the United States, particularly from China, which he says has benefited from a “global world order” that he characterizes as obsolete.

China, Rubio will tell the committee, has “lied, cheated, hacked, and stolen their way to global superpower status, at our expense.”

If confirmed, Rubio will become the leader of U.S. foreign policy — though his role will surely remain secondary to Trump, who relishes the global stage and frequently uses the bully pulpit against America’s allies.

Even before taking office, Trump has stirred angst in foreign capitals by threatening to seize the Panama Canal and Greenland and suggesting he will pressure Canada to become the nation’s 51st state.

By winning another term, Trump has won an “unmistakable mandate from the voters,” Rubio will say.

“They want a strong America. Engaged in the world. But guided by a clear objective, to promote peace abroad, and security and prosperity here at home.”

A Biden administration decision to rescind Cuba’s designation as a state sponsor of terrorism with just days left in office is likely to irk Rubio, who has long supported tough sanctions on the communist-run island.

Rubio’s office did not respond to multiple queries Tuesday about the senator’s reaction to the move, which many believe will almost certainly be reversed by the Trump administration.

Secretaries of state have played a key role in formulating the foreign policy of the country since its founding, starting with the first one, Thomas Jefferson, who served in the top Cabinet position under President George Washington.

Since then, Jefferson, as well as his 19th century successors James Madison, James Monroe, John Quincy Adams, Martin Van Buren and James Buchanan, have all gone on to be elected president.

More recent secretaries of state have been less successful in their political ambitions, including John Kerry, who lost the 2004 presidential election to President George W. Bush before becoming the top diplomat, and Hillary Clinton, who lost the 2016 election to Trump.

The most successful secretaries of state have been known for their closeness to the presidents whom they serve, notably James Baker under George H.W. Bush, Condoleezza Rice under George W. Bush and, to some extent, Clinton under Barack Obama.

Like Clinton, Rubio was once a political rival to the president-elect who nominated them. However, the Clinton-Obama relationship during the 2008 Democratic primaries was not nearly as hostile as that between Trump and Rubio in the 2016 GOP primaries, which was marked by name-calling and personal insults.

Trump had an acrimonious relationship with his first secretary of state, Rex Tillerson. Trump fired him from the position via a social media post less than two years into his term.

The national park system is one of America’s greatest treasures. It spans the country’s most wild corners and important cultural heritage sites, balmy beaches and breathtaking mountains. Our parks are backdrops for iconic family vacations, honeymoons and solo adventures.

And for six days in 2025, the parks are free to visit.

Thanks to the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act of 2004, the National Park Service waives entrance fees on what it calls “days of celebration and commemoration,” which include national holidays or park-specific ones. You’ll still have to pay for services and amenities like camping reservations, special tours and boat launches.

The six free-entry days this year are:

Jan. 20 — Martin Luther King Jr. Day

April 19 — First day of National Park Week

June 19 — Juneteenth National Independence Day

Aug. 4 — Great American Outdoors Act Signing Day

Sept. 27 — National Public Lands Day

Nov. 11 — Veterans Day

Cynthia Hernandez, a Park Service public affairs specialist, says the number of days has varied depending on the year.

“Between 2009 and 2017, the number of days increased, originally to assist those with financial constraints during the recession and then to help celebrate the National Park Service’s 100th anniversary,” she said in an email.

But entrance fees are essential for the parks and provide revenue for improving facilities, addressing maintenance issues and enhancing the overall park experience for visitors, Hernandez added.

If these particular dates don’t fit your travel schedule, there are still more than 300 national park sites — like national monuments, seashores, historical points of interest and extensive trails — that are free to visit year-round.

Less-crowded national parks

While the country’s most popular parks, like Yellowstone and Yosemite, are exquisitely beautiful and natural contenders for where to visit on the free days, consider the country’s lesser-known options for fewer crowds. Capitol Reef National Park in Utah is a standout, with ribbon-colored rock formations and Native American and Mormon historic attractions.

Travelers with disabilities may consider parks that provide all-terrain wheelchairs (like Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore in Michigan and Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado) or beach wheelchairs (Golden Gate National Recreation Area in California, Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve in Colorado, Gulf Islands National Seashore in the Gulf of Mexico). Rentals are complimentary, but supply is limited so reservations are strongly recommended.

Pet owners may prefer one of the roughly 50 sites where dogs are allowed, including the Prince William Forest Park in Northern Virginia or Arkansas’s Hot Springs National Park.

Heads up: While the parks are free to visit during fee-free days, some still require reservations to enter, so plan accordingly.

The event will feature Tony Award-winning actress Anika Noni Rose as the keynote speaker.

In the past three decades, more than 150 students from a wide variety of academic majors have been awarded Keeper of the Dream scholarships totaling more than $750,000.

The celebration honors the legacy of the late civil rights leader, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and awards scholarships to students that best demonstrate exceptional leadership qualities through their involvement on campus and in the community by breaking down racial and cultural stereotypes and by promoting unity among all people to foster a campus environment rich in diversity and multiculturalism.

The event is free and open to the public.

Before the end of February at least 454 people working in Oakland County will lose their jobs.

That’s according to notices filed with the state by three companies that sent Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) notifications last month. The WARN Act requires employers planning mass layoffs to give workers a 60-day notice.

“Not every employer has to file WARN letters – there are a couple different criteria and smaller companies don’t always have to file these letters,” said Jennifer Llewellyn, Oakland County’s manager for workforce development and the county’s Michigan Works! Offices.

The 454 people facing job losses are at:

•  Webasto Roof Systems at 2700 Product Drive in Rochester Hills. The plant will close and 244 employees will be let go on Feb. 21 through July. Webasto makes flexible soft- and hard-top roof systems for vehicles. The company’s announcement said the 50-year-old Rochester Hills plant is closing because it would cost too much to modernize it.

•  Samsung SDI America EV plants at 4121 North Atlantic Blvd. and 50 Continental Drive, both in Auburn Hills will lay off 179 people between Feb. 24 and Feb. 28. When Samsung asked Auburn Hills officials for a 5-year, 50% tax break worth more than $140,000 in 2019. At that time, company officials promised they would lease the Continental Drive building for 10 years and the deal would lead to 400 new jobs.

•  Hyzone Motors USA Inc., 1208 E. Maple Road in Troy, where 32 people will lose their jobs over two weeks starting Feb. 18. The company makes hydrogen fuel cells and announced the layoffs in December, citing an “inability to raise funding and the future uncertainty relating to the availability of government subsidies.”

Last year 11 WARN notices affected Oakland County businesses, totaling 1,173 workers. In 2023, the state received 10 WARN notices were filed affecting 1,903 Oakland County workers, which includes 945 GM workers in Lake Orion, part of the planned shutdown and retooling for electric vehicles. The 945 GM employees represent about 50% of the total for the entire year and many of those workers were reassigned.

Last year’s complete unemployment figures for the county won’t be released until next month. As of November, it was 3.9%, up just over 1% from November, 2023. In 2023, the state’s unemployment rate was under 4%, a 20-year low.

The unemployment rate in Oakland County in November was 3.9%, up slightly from 3.8% in October and up by 1.2 pts year-over-year from November 2023 when the rate was 2.7% All those figures remain below the overall metro Detroit total, 5.1% in November.

The WARN Act exists to give employees time to prepare for a job loss by updating their resumes and either finding a new job or learning a new skill to enter a related or different field of work.

“This addresses the ebbs and lows of workforce development,” she said. “Layoffs happen when companies shift priorities or lose accounts or face difficult times for other reasons.”

Her office works with state and regional officials to attract new businesses and help unemployed workers find new jobs quickly or retrain with skills in fields that have opportunities.

“The exciting part is helping people either find new jobs or getting them retrained,” Llewellyn said. “We also support refreshing that resume and boosting their interview skills.”

Oakland County’s economy is growing in four main sectors, she said:

•  Advanced manufacturing: Robotics, automation, aerospace, 3D printing and support for the electric-vehicle industry and battery production.

“There’s so much research and development talent in the county as well as engineers and production professionals,” she said.

•  Construction: From General Motors’ Orion plant renovations to new homes being built, infused by federal infrastructure money. “We need skilled construction workers, engineers, plumbers and electricians,” she said.

•  Technology: Cybersecurity, intelligence software development and more. “Everyone has a smart phone, so when I say ‘technology,” that’s not necessarily an industry. It’s technology across the board for all areas – advanced manufacturing, construction, government, education, health care, all industries,” Llewellyn said.

• Health care and health science.

“It’s not that we don’t support industries outside those four quadrants,” she said. “It’s where we’re spending time and investing money. We support other industries and occupations. Transportation is another area that is an across-the-board opportunity, for example. But we’re prioritizing four areas where we see demand and growth.”

Because the business climate is fluid and depends on lots of factors, Llewellyn can’t cite a specific number of jobs the county will definitely see added in 2025.

“We get regional projections and are always gathering workforce intelligence,” she said. “We look at the state’s 50 ‘hot jobs’ outlook, and University of Michigan projections. We’re constantly looking at jobs data but the most important thing we do is working with employers that have jobs open now.”

She said that’s how the county tailors retraining programs via Michigan Works!.

“We don’t use the train-and-pray model, hoping people will find jobs with the new skills they obtain,” she said. “I want them to make a smooth transition, so they get retained and have five companies willing to hire them.”

People looking for new jobs don’t have to wait until a layoff starts and they are competing with others for openings, she said.

She cites research that shows Oakland County produces more than 20% of the entire state’s gross domestic product. It’s the reason she and others say Oakland County is Michigan’s economic driver.

“Despite that, we still have residents working two and three jobs to make ends meet. These are the folks who need retraining along with those being laid off,” she said. “We have many people doing extremely well in the county, but we never lose sight of the ones who need more opportunity.”

That is why the county applied for workforce grants recently announced by Pontiac. The city is using $800,000 in American Rescue Plan Act money for the grants.

“If we get this grant, the money will support an initiative to expand the summer internship program we have for 16-to-24-year-olds. We place them in jobs and we pay their wages,” she said, adding that it’s a way for young people to explore career paths that doesn’t add to a businesses daily cost.

The county has a partnership with Oakland Community College to offer healthcare courses for such career tracks as sterile processing technician course, certified nurse aide and patient care technician. These jobs pay $15 an hour or more, she said, and “are a great pathway for getting more medical certifications if they feel further inspired to earn associates or bachelors degrees.”

The county’s Michigan Works! office also offers virtual career workshops so people can determine which field to pursue.

“And we help people fill out FAFSA forms for college tuition and financial fitness classes – what to do with your 401k if you get laid off, for example,” she said.

She said anyone facing a layoff should take advantage of the early notice and contact Michigan Works!.

“Don’t wait until you’re two weeks away from losing your unemployment check,” she said. “Take time now to get help getting your resume online, building a network and starting your job search. We have coaches who can help navigate all that with them.”

Companies considering expanding or even hiring one or two new employees can contact the county to see if the roles will work as apprenticeships, she said. The county can also help businesses with employee-retention efforts, she said.

There are still many job opportunities in the county – and retraining for people affected by a layoff. Learn more by contacting the county’s Michigan Works! office online at https://www.oakgov.com/business/business-development/workforce-development or call (248) 858-5520. People can get in-person or virtual appointments.

The Farmington Hills City Council will hold a public hearing on Monday, Jan. 13, on a request by Sheetz to open a 24-hour gas station, convenience store and drive-through restaurant at 12 Mile and Middlebelt roads.

The council meets at 7:30 p.m. at City Hall, 31555 W. 11 Mile Road.

The Planning Commission voted 4-1 in November to recommend approval of the proposal.

Opponents packed the commission meeting, raising concerns about the possibility of increased crime and traffic or driving other area gas stations out of business.

The Chaldean American Chamber of Commerce and other business groups also expressed opposition, fearing over-saturation of gas stations in the area.

Sheetz is proposing six pumps, creating 12 fueling stations and a 6,100-square-foot convenience store and restaurant. It would occupy the site of the former Ginopolis restaurant, which closed five years ago.

OTHER LOCATIONS IN THE WORKS 

The commission voted unanimously last month to approve Sheetz’ site plan for a location on Grand River Avenue at Middlebelt Road. It would also operate 24 hours but its restaurant would not have a drive-through lane. The company plans to demolish a vacant auto repair shop and build a new facility.

Sheetz does not need the council’s approval for the Grand River-Middlebelt proposal. The company may need a variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals for a proposed dumpster location.

The Grand River-Middlebelt proposal did not draw widespread opposition from the community.

Just outside of Farmington Hills, Sheetz is also proposing a location at the southeast corner of Eight Mile and Newburgh roads in Livonia.

The Livonia City Council is expected to vote this month on whether to approve a zoning change to allow the store, which would be on the site of a closed Rite Aid store.

A Sheetz spokesman said at a previous meeting that all of its locations are open 24 hours.

The Sheetz family owns all locations; they do not have franchisees.

Sheetz opened its first Michigan location in late August near Detroit Metro Airport in Romulus.

The company plans to open 50-60 stores in the Detroit area in the next five to six years, including approved sites in Fraser, Warren, Ypsilanti, Eastpointe, Taylor and Macomb and Chesterfield townships.

Sheetz officials have said each store will employ 30 to 35 workers, the majority of them full-time. The company touted competitive pay, benefits packages for all employees, quarterly bonuses, paid time off and more.

Sheetz ranked second in the latest Best Workplaces in Retail in America by Fortune and in the top 10 of the “Companies that Care” list from People magazine.

The company, based in Pennsylvania, operates more than 700 stores in several states.

The Detroit News contributed to this report.

It’s befitting the Sparkle Network’s Comedy Night on Feb. 8 at the Emerald Theater is held annually around Valentine’s Day, since it conjures up feelings that are both heartbreaking and heartwarming.

“We have four charities that will benefit this year,” said Moe Lietz of Rochester Hills, founder of the Sparkle Network and one of four comedians including Chris Young, Justin Divozzo and Diego Attanasio performing.

Every year since Lietz and her troupe of comedians started doing the event a variety of charities throughout Macomb and Oakland counties have benefited from the fundraiser.

One such charity is the Great Lakes Burn Camp.

While it’s heartbreaking the incidents that bring a child to attend the camp, it’s a joy to see how the summer experience, supported by a corps of volunteers including firefighters and other first responders, fosters healing, self-esteem, confidence and general well-being for burn-injured children.

It’s also heartwarming to know proceeds from Comedy Night will help to support this mission to provide unconditional love and acceptance for the campers.

“Last year we raised $6,500,” said Lietz, who started the Sparkle Network as a way of supporting local causes and to support signature events and programs for young people including its Dream, Believe and Do Scholarship, which will also receive a portion of the proceeds from Comedy Night.

The scholarship is given to high school seniors in Macomb and Oakland counties who have completed 40 hours of community service and have a dream they believe in.

The other two charities benefiting from #Heartbreakers Comedy Night include:

Susie Q’s Kids: Comfort Bags for Kids — The nonprofit works to support the mental health and well-being of children in the community through a variety of services that include creating comfort bags that feature panda bears, blankets, socks and other essential items for children in hospitals, hospice, shelters, foster care, grief centers, schools, camps or wherever there might be a need. The group also serves as an advocate for suicide awareness and prevention and individuals with physical and intellectual disabilities.

Meadowbrook Center for Learning — Based in Rochester Hills, Meadowbrook Center is a nonprofit dedicated to removing barriers to learning, fostering life success for all individuals and promoting community awareness and understanding of learning challenges such as ADHD, dyslexia and autism.

Besides being a great fundraiser it’s a hoot-of-an-opportunity to treat your Valentine to a fun night out.

Tickets for are $30 each.

This includes the show and a brown bag of snacks, plus the infamous Comedy Night swag bag.

However, Lietz encourages buying them as a couple ($50 pair) or a group of 8 ($300 dinner and table on main floor), unless you’re the outgoing kind who enjoys meeting new people.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Jayden Daniels ran for a critical first down to set up Zane Gonzalez’s 37-yard field goal that clanged off the right upright and went through as time expired, and the Washington Commanders beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 23-20 in an NFC wild-card game Sunday night for the franchise’s first playoff win in 6,945 days.

Daniels, playing with a bandage beneath his right eye after his face was bloodied, became the third rookie quarterback in three years to win a playoff game.

The Commanders (13-5) will face the No. 1 seed Detroit Lions (15-2) in the divisional round. The game will be Saturday at 8 p.m. (FOX) at Ford Field.

Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers (10-8) missed several opportunities and the veteran quarterback committed a critical turnover in the fourth quarter. The Bucs couldn’t get 1 yard on two tries from the Commanders 12 and settled for a field goal to tie the game before Washington’s winning drive.

Daniels threw for 268 yards and two touchdowns, joining C.J. Stroud and Brock Purdy as rookie QBs to win playoff games in the past three seasons.

Washington hadn’t won in the postseason since beating the Buccaneers in Tampa Bay 17-10 in a wild-card game on Jan. 7, 2006.

DETROIT — The Red Wings have won in different ways during this, what is now, a seven-game winning streak.

On Sunday, they did it relatively quick and easy fashion.

The Wings breezed to a 6-2 victory over Seattle at Little Caesars Arena, exploding for four first-period goals and coasting the final 40 minutes.

The last time the Wings won seven consecutive games was Jan. 12-23, 2012. The Wings (20-18-4) conclude a four-game homestand Tuesday against San Jose, and then head out for a rugged four-game road trip.

“You don’t want to take your foot off the gas and we’ve struggled with leads,” said captain Dylan Larkin of the explosive start. “Today was a great challenge. That first period, we score four early and we have to play, there’s a lot of hockey left and we answered it. Our details were good.

“That’s how you play with the lead and we stuck together when we needed to and it’s good to close that one out.”

The Wings are 7-1-0 under coach Todd McLellan, who took over Dec. 26, including the seven straight wins. It has been a different-looking Wings team, one playing with confidence and many players who weren’t succeeding with the previous staff now playing better.

“You’re either, in my opinion, moving forward or repairing and right now we’ve been able to have some success,” McLellan said. “The nuggets we’ve tried to give the players, because they’ve had success, they’re waiting for more and what else do you have for us? What more can we add to it? Because it’s been working for us, but also players buying in and applying it.”

Six different Wings scored goals against Seattle. Marco Kasper, J.T. Compher, Alex DeBrincat (power play), Patrick Kane, Erik Gustafsson (power play) and Dylan Larkin (power play) had goals, while Lucas Raymond, Mortiz Seider, and Vladimir Tarasenko each had two assists.

“(It builds) individual confidence but (also) team confidence,” McLellan said of the balanced scoring. “The offensive players are excited for those guys to score. The bench is excited, and that’s a real positive for us. You can’t have just Patrick Kane and Dylan Larkin and Razor (Raymond) doing all the scoring. It has to be balanced.”

While going 3-for-4 on the power play, the Wings extended their streak of scoring a power-play goal to eight consecutive games, matching an eight-game streak from March 19-April 2, 2016.

Goaltender Cam Talbot stopped 31 shots, earning the victory.

Oliver Bjorkstrand (power play) and Matty Beniers (Michigan) had goals for Seattle (18-23-3).

The Wings jumped Seattle early. Kasper (his fourth goal), deflected Raymond’s shot at 3:22 and 11 seconds later, Compher won a face-off and redirected Tarasenko’s shot for Compher’s sixth goal.

The Wings added two more goals 1:37 apart a short time later. DeBrincat made it 3-0 with his 19th goal, on the power play at 6:16, and Kane made it 4-0 with his 10th goal, on an easy tap-in of Gustafsson’s pass at 7:53.

Gustafsson reached the goal-scoring column at 4:17, his second goal, with a drive from the high slot, making the score 5-0. Larkin scored his 18th, and the Wings’ third power-play tally, converting a nice feed from Kane at 15:21.

“We knew they played (Saturday afternoon), but it’s a lot about us,” Kasper said. “How we prepare for a game, and we had a good practice (Saturday) and coming in with a six-game win streak, just our confidence is high. We skated our first two minutes and that set us up for good second and third periods.”

The good, fast starts were also something that were inconsistent earlier in the season for the Wings. But they’ve become gradually more of a staple of the Wings’ lately, and they checked off pretty much everything they wanted to do against the Kraken.

“We got on the forecheck, and we had a good shot mentality,” Larkin said. “We knew they would be hard to play against and they battle in the defensive zone. We got pucks to the net and they went in early, and after we got to one and two (goals) we kept the foot on the gas.

“It was a great start for us.”

ANN ARBOR — Michigan coach Dusty May and the Wolverines have made it a goal to fill up Crisler Center.

That mission, it’s safe to say, is being accomplished.

Off to its best start in Big Ten play in four seasons, No. 24 Michigan gave fans more reason to keep packing the stands by extending its win streak and taking down Washington, 91-75, on Sunday.

Vlad Goldin had 19 points to lead another balanced scoring attack. Nimari Burnett scored 16 on 6-for-6 shooting and made four of Michigan’s 11 3-pointers to highlight another offensive performance where the Wolverines shot better than 50% from the field.

It all resulted in a fifth straight victory by a double-digit margin for Michigan (13-3, 5-0 Big Ten).

“Everybody contributed in this game. It wasn’t a single effort,” said Goldin, who finished 6-for-7 from the field and added seven rebounds. “So many people stepped up when we needed it the most, when the game didn’t go the way we wanted it to go.

“It’s helpful when everybody plays the right way. It makes it feel amazing.”

Even though the Wolverines had to deal with foul trouble with the frontcourt trio of Danny Wolf, Will Tschetter and Goldin much of the game, it didn’t prove detrimental. Instead, they built on a 10-point halftime lead and widened the margin to 55-42 early in the second half on a three-point play from Roddy Gayle Jr.

And even when Michigan waded through a stagnant stretch where it had a four-minute scoring drought and Wolf headed to the bench with his third foul, Washington couldn’t put a serious dent in the deficit. Instead, the Huskies (10-7, 1-5) could only muster two free throws in a span of six minutes.

Once Wolf checked back in, the Wolverines blew the game open. He whipped a pass to Sam Walters for a corner 3-pointer. Two possessions later, Wolf knocked down a deep ball during a 7-0 burst. Michigan pulled ahead 79-60 with 7:45 to go.

The Wolverines led by at least 13 points the rest of the way as they continued their best start to conference play since the 2020-21 campaign, when Michigan began 6-0 in league and won the Big Ten regular-season title.

Great Osobor had 23 points and 11 rebounds before fouling out late for Washington. The Huskies shot 41.3% from the field (26-for-63) against Michigan, which mixed in zone and man-to-man defenses, lost the turnover battle (12-11) and led for a meager 18 seconds during the first two minutes of the game.

Gayle finished with 15 points in his return to the lineup after missing last game with knee soreness. Walters chipped in 12 points off the bench. Wolf added 11 points and eight rebounds.

The Wolverines missed 10 free throws but shot 52.7% from the field (29-for-55), marking the 10th time this season they’ve made at least half of their shots in a game.

“I think the style of play that we play, the pace that we play, the ball movement, finding open cutters and open shooters attributes to that,” Burnett said. “I think the everyday process — the shots that we get off and on the court, the film we watch every single day — helps with the style of play we play.

“The Cleveland Cavaliers have said they play an ethical style of basketball, and I feel like we have a lot of those traits.”

Michigan, once again, showed that from the jump. And just like they did during their West Coast sweep of USC and UCLA, the Wolverines got off to a strong offensive start against a new Big Ten member.

Goldin capped a string of seven unanswered points by draining a 3-pointer on an out-of-bounds play. Wolf scored on a driving layup and backed down a defender for a finish at the rim. The Wolverines set the tone by making six of their first nine shots and grabbing a 15-7 lead with 15:01 left in the first half.

Osobor kept Washington close and gave Michigan fits after Goldin picked up his second foul at the 13:44 mark. With Goldin on the bench, Osobor took advantage of mismatches, made four consecutive shots and scored 10 straight points for the Huskies.

The Wolverines shrugged off Osobor’s hot stretch and created separation, even after Wolf joined Goldin with two fouls at the 8:23 mark. Gayle pulled down a rebound and went coast-to-coast for a layup to cap a string of six unanswered points. Burnett canned three 3-pointers over the final six minutes of the half.

Michigan navigated the foul trouble with its big men down the stretch — and produced a highlight along the way, with an alley-oop slam by Goldin off a half-court pass from Tre Donaldson — en route to a 48-38 lead at the break.

“I thought we did some nice things overall for a choppy Sunday afternoon game,” May said. “I don’t think either team would have been pleased with the flow of the game, but we both contributed to it. We were changing defenses. We were both in foul trouble.

“Just an odd game. But over the course of a 20-game Big Ten season, you have to be able to play a lot of different styles, a lot of different ways, and we definitely got something done today. … We need to continue to stay strong, healthy, and figure out different ways to win.”

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Reserve Grace VanSlooten scored 19 points and grabbed 12 rebounds —her third double-double this season — and Julia Ayrault also scored 19 points with eight rebounds to help No. 20 Michigan State beat Washington 80-68 on Sunday.

Theryn Hallock and Ines Sotelo each scored 11 points for Michigan State (13-3, 3-2 Big Ten).

Elle Ladine hit two free throws, Sayvia Sellers scored in the paint and Ladine added a 3-pointer in a 7-2 spurt that gave the Huskies a one-point lead a little more than 2 minutes into the second half. Michigan State scored seven consecutive points to take a 48-42 lead with 4:58 left in the third quarter and the Spartans led the rest of the way.

Sellers led the Huskies with 21 points, Ladine added 17 and Hannah Stines scored 11. Dalayah Daniels grabbed 11 rebounds to go with six points, three steals and two blocks.

Washington (13-5, 3-2) had its five-game win streak snapped.

Hallock scored seven points in a 9-4 spurt to open the fourth quarter that gave Michigan State a 12-point lead three minutes into the period and the Huskies trailed by at least seven points the rest of the way.

The Spartans scored 22 points off 20 Washington turnovers and Michigan State outscored the Huskies 31-13 in bench points.

Washington plays at No. 25 Michigan and the Spartans hit the road to take on Rutgers, both on Wednesday.
