The Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court to allow an executive order targeting
“mail-in voting to go into effect, as request follows in appeals court's decision that”
blocked the order in nearly half the country. The order tries to create a federal list of eligible voters for mail-in ballots, Democratic officials from 23 states and DC sued arguing that election rules are set by states and Congress, not the president. During a stop in Michigan today, President Trump touted his economic policy, saying they
revived the American auto industry. Today, I'm proud to say that the auto industry is back and America is back and it's pulling Detroit and Michigan along with it. Our country is so successful as pulling it along. Many Michigan businesses are dealing with the effects from tariffs Trump imposed against
Canada and the rest of the world. Michigan's primary election is next week, and early voting is underway to nominate candidates for U.S. Senate and governor, the Supreme Detroit community that's home to the GM facility
“where Trump spoke was once a Republican stronghold, but has leaned increasingly democratic”
back in Joe Biden in 2020 and Kamala Harris in 2024. With the 99 days until the midterm elections and PR's Mar Elias and reports on where things stand for both parties. To win a majority in the House of Representatives, Democrats need a net pick up of three seats. To win a majority in the Senate, Democrats need a net pick up of four seats.
Republicans are facing strong head wins. President Trump's approval rating is under 40%. Voters are sour on the economy and they blame the Iran War and Trump's tariffs for keeping prices high at the pump in the grocery store. But Republicans have some structural advantages too.
They've raised much more money than Democrats. Democrats have the advantage of enthusiasm. Democratic voters have been turning out in larger numbers than Republicans in primaries and special elections this year.
“Our Eliason NPR news Seattle police say they've arrested a 15-year-old boy in connection”
with yesterday shooting in a crowded food festival that left three people dead.
Freddie Monade, so a number of station can, KX reports police are searching for a second
shooter. Police say a 19-year-old man and a 44-year-old man died at the scene. A 56-year-old woman was later declared dead at a nearby hospital. Seattle police chief Sean Barnes says law enforcement disarmed a person who was actively firing a weapon into a crowd.
We believe that the bullets that were fired were from two individuals who appear to be firing at one another and as the mayor stated a 15-year-old suspect was taken into custody. Police are asking for witnesses to come forward with any information about the second suspect. At least four people were injured in the shooting, including a two-year-old boy who remains in the hospital.

For parents who pay for child care, more than a third say it's one of their top two expenses.
That's according to a poll commissioned by the first five years fund, which advocates for expanding early learning and care. Nearly half of parents say child care challenges affect their work, and it's not just them. Nearly 40% of all voters say they're affected when a colleague's child care is disrupted. Nationally, there is a serious shortage of child care, and in many places it can cost more
than housing or college tuition. A growing number of cities and states are committing money to expand, free, and subsidized child care. They say their local economies depend on it, critics argue it drives up government spending. Jennifer Luden and peer news, Washington.
