Juan Atkins, who helped create the techno music genre with school friends in suburban Detroit in the 1980s, has died, his booking agency said Sunday. He was 64. nbcnews.com/news/obituaries/…

Mike Rogers is taking a page from the MAGA playbook and is calling for scare tactics to prevent people from voting.
This is the latest GOP effort to undermine the right to vote. We can’t let it happen.

A member of Perfecting Church, John Gardner, told me he’s disappointed he supported Haley Stevens in the primary. “Did she call Obama before doing this? She used him in all those ads… This is career suicide.”

New: Haley Steven’s official staff including her longtime chief are resigning from her office this morning, per spox.

I’ve known Haley Stevens for a long time. Until now, she has always had staff to protect her, prop her up, and keep her safe from her own irrational behavior. What we’re seeing now? This is just raw, unfiltered Haley.
The Haley who flip-flops and goes from thought to thought without rhyme or reason. The Haley that calls you at 3 AM to yell at you, and then calls you back at 5 AM oblivious to the fact that she even spoke with you at 3 AM. The Haley who bends to the last and loudest voice that tells her something.
More often than not that last voice is now her fiancé. And as you can see by what one of her former staff people posted earlier here on X, that appears to potentially be a really troubling relationship.
Up until this point, other than a joke I made on X a few days ago, I wasn't going to say anything public about Haley Stevens or how she has comported herself since the primary. It not only wasn't appropriate, I would never, ever want anyone to think I was speaking for or on behalf of my wife. But Haley's erratic choices mean I can no longer be silent about my interactions with her since the primary ended.
I approached Haley in the middle of September about putting her name to an Op-Ed attacking Mike Rogers for his unwillingness to denounce the antisemitic members of his own team, the $10 million in support he's received from Christian nationalist Tim Dunn, and his steadfast opposition to a woman's right to choose. The goal of the Op-Ed was to remind members of the Jewish community that Mike Rogers doesn't align with our values. The proposed Op-Ed never mentioned Abdul. The only thing it asked for was to not vote for Mike Rogers.
Initially she was very interested in it.
Then she wasn't.
Then she was again.
Then she wasn't.
She never signed it.
Literally the bare minimum - attack MAGA Mike Rogers, the guy who would have been running against you had you won the primary. And that was over a month ago. This is nothing new. This is just who Haley is. By the way, here's the Op-Ed that she wouldn't let me publish.

Stevens is absolute garbage. She doesn’t speak for the Black community nor is she genuinely concerned about the Black community. AIPAC gives her marching orders. Their beef and her beef with El-Sayed has absolutely nothing to do with Black Americans. Don’t rope us in to this!

Just talked to voters at an early voting center in Detroit. No one I spoke to had any knowledge of what Rep. Haley Stevens and her fiancé are saying.

I don't think Abdul El-Sayed is antisemitic or a threat to Jewish Americans. But what is a threat to them is the Islamophobia and Christian nationalism publicly expressed and mainstreamed by some prominent supporters of Mike Rogers, such as President Trump and Republican senators Bernie Moreno and Ted Cruz -- because antisemitism tends to accompany Islamophobia (in surveys, they're statistically correlated), and Christian nationalism threatens to relegate Jewish Americans to the status of, at best, provisionally protected second-class citizens: usatoday.com/story/news/poli…
Watch @MIRSnews editor Kyle Melinn break down why the GOP has to resort to Islamophobia to try to defeat @AbdulElSayed because they can’t run on the economy.
