The piece notes a 2021 Michigan Senate finding of no widespread fraud and a 2024 review identifying a small number of noncitizen voters among millions of ballots, while stressing that the U.S. Constitution’s Elections Clause reserves election administration to the states.

GM downsizes Detroit HQ to Hudson's Detroit to anchor a multi-site campus

GM has moved its corporate headquarters to a downsized, 200,000-square-foot space at Hudson's Detroit on Woodward Ave, aiming for a frictionless, highly collaborative setup while keeping Detroit as its global HQ. The move is part of a broader multi-site Southeast Michigan campus that includes the Tech Center and the Warren Technical Center, where about 25,000 engineers and staff now work. The space emphasizes flexibility with mostly unassigned offices (only four permanent executive offices) and will feature public-facing community spaces; Hudson's Detroit also hosts tenants like JPMorgan Chase and Accenture as part of the mixed-use development.
