Here are 3 big things you need to know— One — The U.S. is moving toward direct peace talks in the Ukraine war, with President Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff headed to Moscow next week to negotiate a potential deal. A Putin advisor confirmed the visit as Ukraine says it's reached a common understanding with the Trump administration on the framework of an agreement. Trump says his 28-point plan has now been fine-tuned, even as heavy fighting continues in eastern Ukraine. Two --- The FBI wants to interview six Democrats featured in a video encouraging military members to refuse illegal orders. The FBI has reportedly been in contact with Capitol Police to get the interviews scheduled. President Trump has called for the lawmakers involved in the video to be punished. And number three --- Energy experts say Michigan's grid can support current demand but may need major upgrades as new data center proposals move forward. Projects in Saline Township and Livingston County have raised concerns about heavy power use, water demands, and strain on local wells. A national report shows regions with large clusters of data centers face higher outage risks during extreme weather. Analysts say Michigan isn't in that category yet but will need stronger transmission and distribution systems to keep pace.
