A special election seat for a state representative in MI, thought to be competitive, [went strongly Democratic](https://www.freep.com/story/news/politics/elections/2026/05/05/michigan-senate-special-election-chedrick-greene-jason-tunney/89956143007/?tbref=hp). This means the Dems hold onto their narrow majority in the Michigan Senate, retaining the ability to block state Republicans’ [attempts to pass a MI version of the SAVE act](https://oemygod.com/2026/04/michigan-house-passes-state-version-of-save-act/) and other voter-suppressing shenanigans. ---

From the National Poison Control Center" > The victim may not feel or notice a brown recluse spider bite when it occurs. At first, the bite site may appear like any other insect bite - a little red, itchy, and inflamed. Over the course of a few days, severe symptoms may develop as the venom destroys the surrounding tissues, and a blister may form. The wound may get larger, more painful, and darker in color. Necrosis or tissue death is identified when the tissue develops an ulcer, becomes black in color, and forms a crust that eventually falls off. The venom can penetrate deeper in the tissues, sometimes affecting the fat and muscles. The wound can quickly and easily allow an infection to set in, worsening the wound-healing process. The infection as well as the venom can also spread to the rest of the body and possibly become life-threatening. Often, the bite of a brown recluse spider leaves a crater-like scar, even after it has healed completely. In addition to the wound, a brown recluse bite victim may develop a fever, chills, and nausea. Sounds nasty, just like the victim. ---
