Trump's election power grab should alarm every voter
U.S. Sen. Gary Peters President Trump has voted by mail twice this year, a voting method he's used several times before. Yet, in March, he signed a sweeping, unconstitutional executive order to make it harder for every other American to vote by mail. Hundreds of millions of ballots have been securely mailed by our Postal Service since the Civil War. In the 2020 general election , the Postal Service securely delivered over 65 million ballots. In 2024, it was nearly 100 million.

Peters: Advanced manufacturing is critical to Michigan's economy
Peters: Advanced manufacturing is critical to Michigan's economy Gary Peters | The Detroit News In Michigan, we are seizing a once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform our economy, bolster our communities and create good-paying jobs across the state. Two years ago, I helped lead the charge to secure funding to boost domestic production of semiconductor chips and other advanced manufacturing products in the CHIPS Act.
Navigating Divisive Times
Too much media and social media attention focuses on the conflicts and not bipartisanship. When it comes to “Michigan” issues, the delegation must cross the aisle to get work done. Issues like the Great Lakes, mental health, gun safety, Selfridge Air National Guard Base and defense, and veteran’s issues are areas where both parties need to collaborate.
Drag Racing Story of the Day
His name was Billy Young. He hailed out of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He always showed up at the track with his son, whom he called Little Huck, if my memory is correct. He ran an AA/FD called Green Onions. He was an African American and looked to me to be about 6 foot 4 inches tall. At one point in time, Little Huck did the driving. Billy was a unique character who never seemed to get ruffled at the track. He towed the trailer with a big station wagon with NAACP lettered across the doors.

No food, no water: I saw Azerbaijan's blockade up close. Armenians need our help – now.
Two weeks ago, I stood with Armenian officials on a steep overlook near the border of Azerbaijan. Rugged hills surrounded us on all sides. The barren landscape was covered with harsh boulders and dirt paths, and military outposts dotted the terrain. A lone electrical tower sprang up a few feet away. It was eerily quiet – the only sound came from the gravel beneath our boots. Through binoculars, we inspected a bridge down the hill. The paved passage and military tents seemed innocuous at first glance.

Fred Olsen's Borealis: A new perspective on a cruise to Norway
A cruise with Fred Olsen Cruise Lines to the Norwegian fjords on Borealis proves to be an eye-opening experience for Barnaby Moore, who explains to his story to Gary Peters. Truth be told, the prospect of taking a cruise never appealed to me. In the past, I’ve been dismissive of the idea, casually conforming to the many presumptions that I now know to be wrong. However, with the desire to step out of my comfort zone, I decide now is the ideal time to take the plunge.
Tech talk: Putting technology projects into perspective
Traveltek chief commercial officer Cressida Sergeant stresses why the complex nature of technology requires patience and understanding from all parties. I often get asked how long a job will take, or I’m told by customers that something complex will only, in fact, take five minutes to completed. If I had a pound for every time someone said either of these things to me, I would be very a rich person.

With confidence in the nickel market so low, what’s next?
With confidence in the nickel market so low, what’s next? By Gary Peters, director, The Metals Warehouse Last year the commodity industry witnessed a lot that you can consider unprecedented. The tip of that iceberg was what happened to nickel during the first half of 2022, when it increased to a price on the London Metal Exchange (LME) that had never been seen before, leading to trading being ceased, for days, before finally being reversed.
Striking a blow for semiconductor independence
Perhaps no state has been more affected by semiconductor chip shortages than Michigan. Our auto companies have had to idle their assembly lines. Workers have been sent home. Parking lots at auto plants have been packed full of cars that can't be sold yet because they are missing chips. Car dealerships that normally would be full of different makes and models have sat empty. And the price of cars - both new and used - has gone way up, all because of a piece of technology no bigger than a thumbnail.

Opinion: Russian aggression in Ukraine hits close to Michigan
As the Russian government continues its buildup of troops along the Ukrainian border, many Americans are rightfully asking what is at stake for them.

When COVID-19 hit, we saw a lot of our customer base shutting their doors. That forced us to re-engineer our business. It forced us to actually look at what made us money.

Opinion: Protecting the Great Lakes is personal
Peters Michiganders know better than anyone that the Great Lakes provide us with a unique way of life. Kayaking at Pictured Rocks, climbing the Sleeping Bear Dunes, watching the Fourth of July fireworks over Grand Traverse Bay — these are all things we are blessed to call our own as Michiganders. It’s simple: the Great Lakes are in our DNA. As a lifelong Michigander, it has been among my top priorities to ensure the Great Lakes remain strong and healthy for future generations.

Dear Democratic Presidential Debate Participants, We in Michigan are excited to host you next week for the Democratic Presidential debates in Detroit. I hope you will consider taking time to meet voters across our state and spend time in the communities that will likely decide who is the next President of the United States.

From the Wright Brothers' first flight — to the first Model-T that rolled off the assembly line — to the moon landing, America has transformed how the world moves and thinks. As we look to the future, we once again have the potential to reinvent what it means to get from Point A to Point B. While there is incredible opportunity, we also face significant challenges, including: How the American auto industry can continue to be a global leader in mobility.

Material Marvels: Linking a nation
In smaller countries, the links that connect communities rarely register. However, in vast landscapes, across numerous time zones, such as Russia, the importance of transport cannot be overlooked, as Gary Peters reports. There are certain feats of engineering – think the Hoover Dam or the Golden Gate Bridge (see January and March editions of Materials World, respectively) – that seem to defy logic, at least in the sense of their scale and mission.
Material marvels: The birth of the Shinkansen
The Shinkansen, or bullet train as it is affectionately known, redefined rail transport. Making its debut in the 1960s, it presaged a new era of high-speed travel, transforming not just its host country Japan, but also the wider region and the world. Gary Peters reports. It is 1964.

You can reach him at gary.peters@verdict.co.uk The maritime sector has been rocked in recent months by a spike in piracy.

A new $300m tunnel in Norway -- first planned by the Vikings -- is about to become a reality | Verdict
A new Norwegian ship tunnel, described as the first of its kind and designed to bypass a highly dangerous area, has been included in the country’s latest national transport plan.

People are buying fake train tickets online -- how much of a problem is it? | Verdict
Fake rail tickets are being sold at a fraction of their real price on the dark web and then used at UK rail stations. Is this a one-off, or the start of a new form of fraud?

However, these tickets were not purchased online, via an app, or in person at a ticket office.
