Why is the GOP targeting Jocelyn Benson? It’s about power. They're trying to discredit her ahead of 2026 with tactics like impeachment threats and demands for election materials.

Benson stands firm: “You cannot bully me…”

In Shiawassee County, we uphold facts and secure elections.

NO KINGS Owosso · No Kings
**In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings.** NO KINGS is a national day of action and mass mobilization in response to increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption from Trump and his allies. We’ve watched as they’ve cracked down on free speech, detained people for their political views, threatened to deport American citizens, and defied the courts. They’ve done this all while continuing to serve and enrich their billionaire allies. 🚨**On Saturday, June 14, we’re taking to the streets nationwide. We’re not gathering to feed his ego. We’re building a movement that leaves him behind.**🚨 The flag doesn’t belong to Donald Trump. It belongs to us. We’re not watching history happen. We’re making it. **On June 14th, we’re showing up everywhere he isn’t—to say no thrones, no crowns, no kings.** Check out nokings.org for more information. *A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.*

REUTERS: Ukraine did NOT notify the U.S. in advance of drone attack on Russian air bases.

Yeah. Because he didn't want Putin to see it on Signal.

GOP just voted to gut Medicaid & food aid—programs thousands in Shiawassee County rely on. Kids, seniors, & working families will pay the price so billionaires get tax breaks. We won’t be silent. Join us: www.mivoter.org/
