Good morning and welcome to The Right Take, your place for right of center commentary about all things Michigan. I'm Nolan Finley, editorial page editor of The Detroit News and I'm your host. Democrats will return to Lansing in January in total control of state government . So what does history teach us about what they'll do with their new power: Overreach . The same is true in Washington, where the mid-term elections handed them majorities in both chambers of Congress. Just look at 2008. Like this one, that election was a rebuke of a sitting presiden t and his agenda. Voters turned out to punish George W. Bush and his handling of the Iraq War. That cost Michigan Republicans their hold on the state House. Democrats, who also scored big wins in Washington, saw them as an affirmation of the far-left policy promises their candidates ran on, and that influenced how they governed. In Washington, Congress pushed through Obamacare. Voters reacted to the surge to the left by sweeping out Democrats in 2010 and welcoming back Republicans, who took nearly every office in Lansing, giving incoming Gov. Rick Snyder a legislative majority to support him. Dace Potas of USA

Another week means the Michigan High School Athletic Association has a fresh set of trophies to distribute for MHSAA football winners. Following the district final round, the remaining teams have a week to turn around and play for another wooden mitten in the regional championship this weekend . Most of the action is scheduled for Friday night, with a handful of games Saturday. This is the final week of home games in the 2026 season, with neutral venues coming up in the semifinals and finals. The difficulty keeps ratcheting up as only true contenders remain. Nothing is a given for any team now, no matter how talented. The schedule is back on track for every team, following Monday's court decision on Grand Rapids Catholic Central's temporary restraining order, which had reinstated the Cougars in the state playoffs.
