Facebook/Matt MaddockMarch Madness took a hard right turn into out-and-out irrationality Wednesday evening, when a Republican member of the Michigan statehouse baselessly claimed three buses filled with college athletes were in fact "illegal invaders" descending on Detroit from the southern border.
"Happening right now," state Rep. Matt Maddock posted on X, tagging Michigan GOP chair Pete Hoekstra. "Three busses [sic] just loaded up with illegal invaders at Detroit Metro. Anyone have any idea where they're headed with their police escort?"
Maddock, an "ultra MAGA" Trump supporter whose wife was criminally charged as a so-called fake elector in the former president's scheme to steal the 2020 election, attached two photographs as "proof," showing a trio of charter buses on the tarmac at the Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, next to a chartered Allegiant Air A320-214.

Lands, 65, is a mother and licensed mental health counselor who, infuriated with Alabama's decision to outlaw abortion and briefly ban IVF, decided to run a campaign in the deep South focused heavily on reproductive rights.

David, who has been making media rounds—in one instance beating up Elmo—as Curb Your Enthusiasm wraps up its final season, was asked about his response to political events from 2020 onwards.
"How much as the 2020 election—and everything that has flowed from it—pissed you off?" Wallace asked.

Kent Nishimura/Getty ImagesKari Lake is all but throwing in the towel against an Arizona election official who sued her for defamation, notifying a court on Tuesday she has no intention of defending her claims that he deliberately wrecked her gubernatorial campaign in 2022.
Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer, a 38-year-old Republican, filed his lawsuit last June. He said Lake had falsely accused him of "intentionally [printing] 19-inch images on 20-inch ballots," resulting in the counting of 300,000 "illegal, invalid, phony or bogus" early ballots.
She also targeted him on social media, according to the complaint, assailing him as an "incompetent, corrupt fool" and a "reprehensible human being."
