Senator Elissa Slotkin called it “real warfare,” blaming Iran for retaliation against Trump-era actions—though federal officials haven’t officially confirmed the culprit. While no public health risks were found, the incident exposed critical infrastructure’s digital vulnerabilities, sending a stark warning that our water systems are prime targets in today’s digital battlefield.

Michigan’s College of Literature, Science, and the Arts is testing a bold new grading system for incoming freshmen starting fall 2027—pass or no credit instead of letter grades—to reduce stress and help students focus on learning, not perfection. While some students see it as a mental health win that lets them dive into campus life without GPA anxiety, others worry it delays accountability until later. Crucially, internal letter grades will still be kept for applications and transfers. This pilot reflects a broader push to rethink how we measure student success—and whether grades should serve learning or pressure.

Step outside and discover the cosmos—no fancy gear needed. Jackson College, the Ella Sharp Museum, and the Dahlem Center teamed up for “A Stellar Day in Jackson,” a free, hands-on astronomy event timed perfectly with the Perseid meteor shower and a solar eclipse. Attendees explored observatories, viewed the sun safely, and played with solar system models—all while learning you can see wonders from your own backyard. The fun continued after dark, with the observatory open until 2 AM to catch meteors and gaze at Venus. This was cosmic outreach at its best: reminding everyone that space is close, accessible, and waiting to be explored with just curiosity and a clear sky.

Michigan’s immigrant rights center has lost a $12 million federal contract that funded legal aid for over 1,100 unaccompanied children—leaving hundreds without representation as they face deportation amid dangerous conditions. With only emergency funds to fall back on, attorneys may shutter cases by October, leaving roughly 500 kids to navigate immigration court alone against trained government lawyers. The center rejected a new contract offer due to privacy violations, and while services remain open, the future for these vulnerable children hangs in the balance.

A Marine Corps veteran known as “the flag man” died from hypothermia after leaving a Michigan retirement center, sparking a wrongful death lawsuit against Delta Retirement Center. The family alleges staff ignored a door alarm, failed to realize he was missing for hours, and delayed calling for help — all while he was a decorated war hero needing daily care. The facility, operating unlicensed as a “home for the aged,” may have slipped through regulatory cracks, raising urgent questions about elder care standards and accountability.

A Michigan gem just earned national acclaim: The Jewel golf course on Mackinac Island, part of the Grand Hotel, has been named to Historic Hotels of America’s top 25 historic courses in the U.S. What sets it apart? Two nine-hole layouts—Grand Nine and Woods Nine—connected by a horse-drawn carriage ride, making it the only course in the country with that quirky charm. Open since 1901, it’s a public course (with hotel discounts) and one of the few places on the island where golf carts are allowed. Prices hit $185 during peak season. Built during golf’s Golden Age, this course boasts legendary players—including President Gerald Ford—and stunning scenery, blending history, nostalgia, and unique vibes into every swing.
