SIGNS OF DAMAGE OR POLLUTION.
THE SHIP WAS CARRYING SALT. A
TUGBOAT HELPED MOVE THE SHIP TO
THE BELLE ISLE ANCHORAGE, WHERE
IT HAS BEEN ASSESSED TO
DETERMINE EXACTLY THE CAUSE OF
THE INCIDENT. ONLY POLICE ARE
SHOWING UP DRUGS, CASH AND GUNS
AFTER A MAJOR DRUG BUST. DON’T
YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THIS? IT’S A
PHOTO ON YOUR SCREEN THERE.
YOU’RE LOOKING AT
METHAMPHETAMINES, COCAINE AND
FENTANYL. PLUS YOU CAN SEE THE
GUN SEIZED. 45 YEAR OLD KEVIN

LIVINGSTON, OAKLAND MACOMB
COUNTIES AND UP INTO THE THUMB.

QUICKLY WERE ALREADY BELOW
NORMAL WITH ATTEMPTS RIGHT NOW

IT’S FOR RAIN IN JUST A FEW
MINUTES. ALRIGHT. THANKS KIM
NEGOTIATIONS TO RAISE AMERICA’S
DEBT CEILING ARE REACHING AN
INTENSE STAGE JUST 24 HOURS
AFTER A BIG MEETING AT THE WHITE
HOUSE. BY THE END OF THE MEETING
, REPUBLICAN HOUSE SPEAKER KEVIN
MCCARTHY SAID HE THINKS THE DEAL
IS POSSIBLE BY THE END OF THE
WEEK. FOR THE FIRST TIME,
DEMOCRATS HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THEY
NEED A BIPARTISAN DEAL THAT WILL
LIKELY INCLUDE PLANS FOR
SPENDING CUTS. THE PRESIDENT AND
HOUSE SPEAKER HAVE NOW APPOINTED
SMALL TEAMS OF NEGOTIATORS TO
KEEP THOSE TALKS GOING TODAY.
THE PRESIDENT CALLED THE WHITE
HOUSE MEETING PRODUCTIVE. AND
SAID THEY FOUND COMMON GROUND.
AND TO BE CLEAR THIS NEGOTIATION
IS ABOUT THE OUTLINES OF WHAT
THE BUDGET WILL LOOK LIKE. NOT
ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT WE’RE GOING
TO INFECT THEIR DEBTS. LEADERS
ALL AGREED. WE WILL NOT DEFAULT.
EVERY LEADER HAS SAID THAT
PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS LEFT FOR THE
G SEVEN SUMMIT IN JAPAN. BUT HE
SHORTENED HIS TRIP TO ASIA TO
GET BACK TO THE NEGOTIATIONS
WITHOUT A DEAL, THE GOVERNMENT
COULD RUN INTO TROUBLE PAYING
ITS BILLS BY JUNE, 1ST. ACROSS
