A mysterious political group using a media-buying firm tied to pro-Israel spending is pouring more than $5.3 million into ads boosting U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens in Michigan’s Democratic primary for U.S. Senate, raising fresh questions about whether Zionist donors are trying to shape the race from the shadows.

Rep. Haley Stevens continued her call for articles of impeachment against Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in a house committee meeting on Friday.
During a contentious set of questions, Stevens says that the secretary abused his office and gutted America’s health.
She said she did it for Michigan. “I had a moment to push for accountability for Michiganders whose healthcare and safety is on the line with conspiracy theories running rampant. I wanted to push today for the transparency and accountability Michiganders deserve. That’s who I take my cues from.”
After Stevens’ questioning, U.S. Rep. Bob Onder of Missouri accused Stevens—who is currently running for U.S. senate—of using the moment to get a viral clip.
With a Republican led house, it is unlikely that the articles of impeachment will go further or get a vote.
A state Senate committee took up a bill to stop utility rates from going up more than once every three years.
Right now, energy companies can ask the Michigan Public Service Commission for higher rates every 12 months—a source of public frustration when approvals of rate increase requests are soon followed by requests for even higher rates.
Commission char Dan Scripps says a three year system could help address that. He adds that tying increases to performance would also improve the system. “The details are important and I think there are a number of places where multi-year rate plans provide for continued investment. If you add in performance-based mechanisms, you can, I think, realize some shared savings.”
The commission doesn’t have to approve the full amount, but if it does act within 10 months, the increase becomes automatic.
