2026 Election

The Case for Mike Rogers for U.S. Senate in 2026

Former U.S. Congressman Mike Rogers is running for U.S. Senate for the second consecutive election cycle and is angling hard for another Trump endorsement to clear the field. Rogers has hired Chris LaCivita, a political consultant who was the co-chair of the Trump campaign last year, as his senior adviser.

LaCivita became widely known after reports indicated that his front groups took $22 million from the Trump campaign throughout 2024, allegations that he is currently disputing in the courts. LaCivita also went on the war path during the campaign against the conservatives responsible for the ‘Project 2025’ think-tank that was widely demonized by Democrats.

Following Trump’s election, LaCivita has resumed his consulting work. One of the projects he is working on is booting Rep. Thomas Massie, the Congressman with the strongest pro-liberty constitutional conservative voting record, from office because he refused to vote in favor of a crippling debt hike.

Rogers has brought LaCivita on board to reinvent himself as a MAGA Republican despite Rogers’ history of supporting unconstitutional NSA Spying and the Patriot Act, being a ‘Never Trumper’ until the moment he started running for U.S. Senate in 2024, becoming a swamp lobbyist after cashing in on his Congressional connections, helping cover up Benghazi scandal to protect defense contractors, and supporting the Jan. 6 probe and inferring pro-Trump patriots were “criminals.”

Jocelyn Benson: From Election Fraud Adjacent to Aspiring Governor

Jocelyn Benson - a name synonymous with 'election fraud'

Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson has declared her candidacy for governor in 2026. Yeah, this is the same Jocelyn Benson whose political ascent has been peppered with controversy, eyebrow-raising connections, and what some might call an opportunistic knack for ‘Teflon’ politics. Let’s take a little walk down memory lane and unpack her storied past.

2010: Fake Tea Party Shenanigans

You may recall that in 2010, Michigan witnessed a blatant attempt at election fraud: the creation of a fake Tea Party to siphon votes from legitimate candidates. Two Democratic operatives from Oakland County, Jason Bauer and Mike McGuinness, were convicted for their roles in this debacle. Bauer got probation and a slap on the wrist, while McGuinness faced perjury and forgery charges. Fun fact: both of these fine gentlemen were connected to none other than Jocelyn Benson.
