UAW’s Shawn Fain: The 2026 election results were a case of the ‘many versus the mighty’

Up to half of Detroit Catholic churches may lose weekend Masses under new plans

DETROIT ― Up to half of the Catholic churches in Detroit could stop holding weekend Masses under the latest Archdiocese of Detroit restructuring plan models, a staggering number that's prompting local parishioners to ask where they'll go to church and what may be lost. As the Archdiocese seeks to "right-size" itself amid declining membership, aging buildings and fewer priests, no city is hit harder under the restructuring plan than Detroit. The targeted parishes are spread all over the city, from the east side to southwest Detroit, and many are more than 100 years old. The Archdiocese of Detroit last month released updated models for 15 planning areas across five counties in southeast Michigan, showing how parishes could be grouped under the restructuring plan, following months of feedback from parishioners. Three planning areas focused specifically on Detroit, and two models were proposed for each planning area. More: See the Detroit Catholic churches where weekend Masses may stop Of the roughly 39 Catholic churches now operating in Detroit's city limits, 16 — or 41% — would not offer a Saturday Vigil or Sunday Mass under both restructuring plan models being considered. Another four wouldn't hold a weekend Mass under just one model.

Wojo’s Pigskin Picks: UM, MSU straining to get up for Brutal Backyard Brother Brawl

DETROIT — So we’re gonna do this anyway, for no good reason? We’re gonna split the state out of habit and spite, summon past grievances and get all frothy again, huh? If we’re still doing this, we’re gonna need some help. If we want to tout Michigan-Michigan State as the biggest rivalry in the entire Washtenaw-Ingham County corridor, we need to see some stakes. And no, not the little tent stake a Michigan player planted in the Spartan Stadium turf 12 years ago, right before the Wolverines laid down and got flattened. It’s gotten so nasty with all the taunts and Tunnel Tussles, some suggested the rivalry needed to take a break. Maybe this is it, a pause for the cause, with two first-time head coaches, dozens of first-time players and no real identity for either team, other than their stubborn reluctance to score touchdowns. I’m not saying there’s little buzz for this one. I’m just saying bragging rights have been downgraded to nagging rights. I’m saying you’ll have to dive deep into the Internet to find the game on one of those streaming services with all the schmaltzy shows that no one watches. For the rest of the nation,

Closures signal ills for Michigan's independent pharmacies

HAZEL PARK — One recent day, Matt Marinco filled a prescription for a patient's diabetes medication and lost nearly $133 on the transaction. The two-month supply cost the pharmacy $1,933.32, but insurance reimbursement totaled just $1,800.40. “Those losses are unsustainable,” said Marinco, pharmacist in charge at his family's Marinco Pharmacy, which has served Hazel Park for more than 80 years. Some pharmacists say the reimbursement issue has forced them out of business. Six independent pharmacies closed in Michigan in October, including four HomeTown Pharmacy locations and Fred's Pharmacies in Three Rivers and Vicksburg. HomeTown Pharmacy cited financial strain caused by pharmacy benefit managers' reimbursement practices as the main reason for the closure of an outlet near Muskegon and three in the Traverse City area. The closures are part of a broader trend. About 275 pharmacies closed statewide in 2024, including 91 independent outlets, according to the Michigan Pharmacists Association. Independent pharmacies across Michigan are facing mounting financial pressures, with owners saying PBM policies are making it increasingly difficult to stay afloat. Meanwhile, the PBM industry disputes that it is driving closures, saying pharmacies have ways to manage costs. At the same time, pharmacies are looking for ways to strengthen their
