 President Trump will address the nation tonight at nine o'clock on the war in Iran. Trump told reporters at the White House that U.S. forces could leave the Middle East in two or three weeks. 

 Oil prices have soared since American and Israeli forces first struck Iran on February 28th. President Trump has signed an executive order restricting mail-in voting, a move that voting rights advocates say would disenfranchise millions of Americans. The order requires the Department of Homeland Security to compile a list of verified U.S. citizens in each state who are eligible to vote. It's almost certainly to be challenged in court which could block it from being enforced in time for the midterm elections in November. 

 A federal judge for the Eastern District of Michigan is allowing a class action lawsuit challenging toll practices on Bay City's Independence Bridge to move forward. The lawsuit was filed last year after Bay City Bridge partners began charging tolls in January. The lawsuit argues that tolling should not have started until all bridge repairs were complete.  

The demand for heavy-duty gas-powered pickup trucks is driving a production expansion at the General Motors Flint assembly plant. GM announced the plant will add a sixth day of production every week beginning in June. The facility currently operates three shifts on five days per week.  

In sports, the Pistons over the Raptors 127-116, the Kitchener Rangers skated past the Saginaw Spirit 4-3, the Penguins over the Red Wings 5-1, and the Diamondbacks beat the Tigers 7-5.
