Mike Rogers Called Trump’s Iran War a ‘Win’ — Michigan Families Are Paying the Bill

I have spent my adult life in uniform. Again and again, I have watched men die for decisions by people who never carried a rifle. So when I see Mike Rogers preening about a war he championed, I feel cold disgust. Rogers is the Republican nominee for the Senate from Michigan. He is also a shameless enabler of Trump’s Iran war. In April 2026, Rogers called that war a historic chance for peace. He called it “the best opportunity for peace in the Middle East I’ve ever seen” and described Iran as “absolutely a toothless wonder.” He called the war…

Scandal: Mike Rogers Mocked Michigan Voters for Worrying About Coffee While Backing Illegal War on Iran

I spent my career in the FBI. There I learned to sit across from a man. The eyes move before the mouth. The details harden where they should soften. Meanwhile, the timeline bends to fit whichever room the subject stands in. I have interrogated men who lied with more discipline than Mike Rogers. Indeed, Rogers has shown that lack of discipline across seven months of this campaign. Most of them kept one version straight for an afternoon. Rogers, however, cannot keep one straight for a news cycle. Yet he wants Michigan to hand him a Senate seat. That seat would…

Mike Rogers Breaks with Trump as War Against Iran Drives Up Costs for Michigan Voters

Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers is increasingly trying to distance himself from Donald Trump’s handling of the war in Iran, as rising fuel prices put growing pressure on Republican candidates heading into the November midterm elections. Rogers’ latest call for a rapid end to the war against Iran marks a notable shift from his earlier willingness to give Trump broad authority to continue the conflict. “The war with Iran needs to end, and end quickly,” Rogers said in a campaign video posted on September 21, adding that “Michigan families can’t afford to wait.” He also argued that ending the war…

A Midterm Diversion:  How Republicans Use Islamophobia to Bury Economic Crisis

As the November 3rd midterm elections approach, observers have noted a sharp escalation in the rhetoric as Republicans use Islamophobia against the Muslim community and Muslim candidates. Political pundits interpret these maneuvers as an integral component of the Republican strategy to foster religious polarization and divert public attention from the Trump administration's economic predicaments and foreign policy quandaries. Republicans, however, maintain that these positions derive solely from legitimate security concerns and an unwavering commitment to the rule of law. The discourse and posturing of prominent Republican candidates in the lead-up to the pivotal congressional midterms indicate that Republicans have once…

The Cost of Tariffs on a Former Ally: Trump’s Trade War with Canada

Trump’s trade war with Canada is becoming increasingly serious, raising concerns not only about the economic costs of President Donald Trump’s tariff policy but also about the damage it could do to one of America’s closest allies. Early this week, Trump imposed new tariffs on a range of Canadian goods, and Canada responded with retaliatory measures of its own. Negotiations between the two countries have also reached an impasse, increasing the risk of further escalation. The dispute is particularly significant because Canada is not a strategic rival of the United States. It is one of Washington’s closest political, economic and…
