Here are 3 big things you need to know— One — Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy will announce action today against three states over English language tests for truck drivers. The move comes after an Indian immigrant truck driver was charged for killing three people in a Florida crash. Transportation chief Sean Duffy says the man could only identify one out of four road signs shown to him in a test after the crash. Two --- Indiana Republican lawmakers are planning to meet with President Trump at the White House today. Reports say although Tuesday's event was pre-planned to discuss the President's agenda, the topic of redistricting will no doubt come up. Indiana may become the next state to re-draw it's congressional maps ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. And number three --- The Fiscal Year 2026 Michigan state budget still has not been introduced in the legislature and budget talks are scheduled to continue today between the governor and leaders of the state House and Senate. Governor Gretchen Whitmer wouldn't confirm an economic trip is planned for next month to Japan, but did say she is always available to negotiate the budget regardless of where she is. Whitmer says missing the September 30 deadline to get the budget done and prevent a government shutdown on October 1 will not do anyone good.
