Manchin backs GOP hopefuls in pivotal Maine and Michigan Senate races

Former West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, now an independent, said on CNBC that he supports two Republican Senate candidates—Mike Rogers in Michigan and Susan Collins in Maine—as the battleground races could determine which party controls the chamber. He praised Collins and Rogers as independent-minded Republicans, and said he would campaign with Collins. Manchin also noted Rogers should denounce Trump’s trade policies to win, and indicated he hasn’t endorsed Michigan’s Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed. He’s continued to push for more independents in politics, with polling showing tight races in both states.

Week 2 Shifts: Oklahoma State Surges, Texas Tops Ohio State Comeback, Michigan Rebounds

Week 2 delivered big shifts in college football: Oklahoma State snapped a 21-game FBS drought against Oregon with a 39-31 win behind Drew Mestemaker’s 317 passing yards as coach Eric Morris’s offense clicked; Oregon’s turnover in coordinators and tougher nonconference slate contributed to the stumble. Michigan answered questions about its QB situation as Bryce Underwood led a 17-10 victory over Oklahoma. Texas staged a dramatic fourth-quarter comeback to beat Ohio State 24-23 and moved to No. 1 in the AP Top 25. UNLV was routed 76-44 by North Texas, and Rutgers fell 28-21 to Boston College, highlighting a rough week for the Scarlet Knights.

EHD virus detected in Michigan deer across four counties, officials say

EHD virus detected in Michigan deer across four counties, officials say

Michigan officials have confirmed epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) in free-ranging white-tailed deer in Branch, Ingham, Jackson and Lenawee counties. EHD is transmitted by biting midges and cannot spread directly between deer; there is no evidence of risk to humans, pets, or other wildlife. Outbreaks are usually localized and may persist in areas for a few years, with frost helping to halt transmission. Venison from affected areas is safe to eat, though animals showing visible sickness should not be consumed. Report suspected sick or dead deer through the DNR’s Eyes in the Field online system for testing and monitoring.

A bright fireball meteor was observed across Michigan Sunday night, with sightings reported as far away as Toronto. The event lasted about 4.7 seconds in Macomb Township and likely broke apart over Lake Huron or Ontario; NASA says such fireballs are a common, exceptionally bright type of meteor, and while they’re frequently seen, meteorites that actually land in Michigan are rare.

Isle Royale hiker located alive after weeklong search

Craig Berg, a 70-year-old hiker who had been missing for about a week on Isle Royale National Park near the Michigan-Canada border, was found alive and alert by backpackers on Sept. 12. Berg had vanished after planning to take a ferry back to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula on Sept. 5, prompting land- and air-searches that continued since Sept. 6. Isle Royale is remote, without roads, and measures 45 miles long by nine miles wide. Park officials said more information will be shared as investigators review the case.

Federal appeals court blocks emergency order to keep Michigan coal plant operating

Federal appeals court blocks emergency order to keep Michigan coal plant operating

A DC Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously ruled that the Energy Department exceeded its emergency authority under the Federal Power Act by ordering Michigan’s 64-year-old JH Campbell Generating Plant to stay online beyond its planned retirement. The court said the emergency provision is a narrow, last-resort backstop and cannot be used when immediate state or utility solutions are available, noting the extended operation cost about $259 million. DOE defended the orders as preventing blackouts, while opponents warn the extra costs may fall on consumers; the ruling follows similar emergency actions elsewhere in the country.

Court voids DOE emergency to keep coal plant online

A DC Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously voided the Department of Energy’s emergency declaration aimed at forcing Michigan’s J.H. Campbell coal plant to stay open, finding no proven emergency or shortfall and noting that planned closures and grid-operating processes already addressed reliability. The decision curtails DOE power to compel generation and could reverse similar orders, allowing Michigan to proceed with the planned shutdown and potentially reducing costs for ratepayers while signaling limits on federal intervention in generation facilities.
