A dirt road through a forest surrounded by trees with yellow and orange leaves. In my area of Michigan the yellow are most likely hickory trees and the orange will be oak. The path is one lane wide and starts in the lower left and disappears over the crest of a small hill, leading into the unknown.

A kayak is traveling down a winding creek between sand dunes overgrown with trees in autumn colors reflecting on the calm water. Bright orange, red, and yellow leaves contrast against a clear blue sky, creating a serene natural scene. In the distance, an old wooden dock is tilted from the yearly freezing and thawing. In the distance the creek turns to the left, leading into the unknown.

In a drastic reversal, Trump has gone from embracing “the opportunity to build even more bridges” with Canada in 2017 to threatening to stop the opening of the Gordie Howe bridge until Canada “treats the U.S. with … Fairness and Respect.”

As a congressman, Pete Hoekstra once testified that tariffs were bad for business.

But as Trump's ambassador to Canada, he now champions the trade policies that are being linked to job losses in his former Michigan district.

—

Michigan Democrats controlled all three branches of government, but party infighting and moderate policy decisions resulted in what some have dubbed “one of the least productive legislative sessions in history.”

Please... Check your #VoterRegistration in your state now. The 2026 #Primaries - 8/4/2026 - will be here before you know it.

It is _never_ too early, and you sure as hell don't want to find out too late that you're a #DOGE #VoterPurge victim, or that #YouAreDead .

It took me less than 30 seconds.

In #Michigan ... https://mvic.sos.state.mi.us/Voter/Index#registeredVoter

A section of the response page from the Michigan Secretary of State's website, confirming that, yes, I am registered, the next upcoming election date - 8//42026 - for the State Primaries, and a ballot preview button that is already active to view and download a digital printout of who's running.

A section below it (not shown) provides a map with markers for where I can vote in person.

Critics claim large solar farms are a public health threat.

Despite little reputable evidence for this, their fears have helped undercut efforts across the U.S. to broaden energy sources, slowing installations even as customer costs are rising.

Edwin H Gott Upbound
The Edwin H. Gott, one of the most powerful and iconic Great Lakes freighters, moves steadily upbound through the Soo Locks, capturing the raw industrial beauty and maritime heritage of the Upper Great Lakes. In this image, the massive ore carrier glides along a busy waterway as it approaches the lock system that connects Lake Huron and Lake Superior.

Edwin H Gott Upbound

This image carries that unmistakable Great Lakes weight — the kind you can almost feel in your chest. The Edwin H. Gott pushes upbound with a slow, deliberate power, its steel hull catching a soft wash of daylight that glints along the riveted plates like brushed metal alive with motion.

Ships line the channel, creating a sense of constant activity — commerce flowing, steel moving, the quiet choreography of vessels navigating one of North America’s most important shipping corridors.
Overall, the image feels like a blend of muscle and history: the raw strength of a massive ore carrier, the architectural dignity of the shoreline, and the rhythmic pulse of Great Lakes shipping. It’s atmospheric, grounded, and full of that inland-sea energy that makes these freighters feel almost alive.

NEW: Cadillac Heights used to be a quiet neighborhood. After a historic land swap facilitated by Detroit officials, a billionaire-owned concrete plant moved in.

Now residents say they are battling air pollution so thick they can “taste the dust.”
