It’s happened again:

A migrant was released from jail (charges dropped) and picked up by ICE.

ICE decides not to deport.

ICE drops migrant off far from home.

Migrant dies in the cold.

Manner of death: Homicide.

Nearly identical to Buffalo case.

Governor DeSantis spent months promoting roughly $5 billion in property tax relief.

The screenshot below is from the Revenue Estimating Conference.

It projects roughly $11.9 billion in recurring local revenue reductions.

The state has every tax roll, every parcel, and every local budget.

The state can model every county, every city, every fire district, and every special district in Florida.

Yet five months before a constitutional vote, voters still haven’t seen the county-by-county impacts.

Every prescription drug commercial comes with warning labels.

This amendment comes with a fiscal note.

The warning labels are missing.

At this point, that appears to be on purpose.

Mitch Johnson was too slow to call timeouts, played Wemby for too many minutes, and used Keldon too much. He let the Spurs play stagnant offense and failed to adjust the D to Alvarado. Fox taking that layup & Wemby bricking free throws is overshadowing Johnson’s awful coaching.

Florida's population losses are compounding.

Miami had the 4th-largest population loss among U.S. metros in Q1 2026.

Orlando had the 6th biggest.

And Tampa lost more people than Chicago.

This data comes from Bank of America's internal account data and is a shocking revelation for anyone who thinks Florida's housing market is recovering.

People continue to leave Florida due to still high prices, soaring property taxes, and expensive insurance.

So much so that a state that was built on massive levels of in-migration of Americans is now losing people in its three biggest metro areas.

As a result, don't be surprised if Florida's housing market continues to correct until things become cheap enough to keep people from leaving.

“The Palm Beach County Fire Department alone stands to lose just under $200 million in funding under the proposed tax structure, Abruzzo said. The cuts would affect virtually every county service, including parks, libraries, roads and other essential operations.”

CNN = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.
CBS = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.
FOX = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.
WaPo = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.
WSJ = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.

Ah yes, tell me more about how the mainstream media is “far left.”

The best mosquito repellent for your patio costs $20 and runs on a wall outlet: a fan.

Mosquitoes are terrible fliers with a top speed of about 1-2 miles an hour, slower than you walk, and they struggle to make headway against even a gentle breeze. Point an oscillating fan at your outdoor seating area and they'll physically struggle to get to you.

It works on two levels too. A mosquito finds you by following the plume of carbon dioxide you exhale, plus the heat and scent rising off your skin. A fan scatters all of it and erases the trail that leads them in. So it knocks them out of the air and helps hide you from their senses at the same time.

This isn't folk wisdom. The CDC notes that fans reduce mosquito landings, and studies have found that using a fan can substantially reduce mosquito bites.

Citronella candles offer only modest protection and are generally much less effective than a fan or EPA-registered repellents. Plug in a fan, aim it at the table, and take your evening back.

NEW: Major posts are vacant. Waves of scientists are gone. Ebola looms. How RFK Jr. manages HHS:

“If the C.E.O. lacked deep expertise in the company’s business and the leaders of its most important divisions were missing, investors would revolt."

Inflation is so high that it's erasing all wage gains.

Inflation: 4.2% in May for the past year
Wage growth: 3.4% in May for the past year.

Americans are getting squeezed financially. This isn't just "bad vibes" about the economy. There is real pain, especially for middle-class and lower-income households. It's tough because so many basic items are seeing sizable price increases: gas, electricity, food, medical care.

@MikeyBVF @ChefTrillie Heat don’t have best assets, so they have to overpay. But Heat are only willing to make a deal if they don’t feel “fleeced”. Fine for smaller deals but not for stars. So instead of closing deals, heat have to wait for team to settle for us and most of the time they haven’t

BREAKING: Ohio secretly gave 100% sales tax breaks, lasting up to 40 years, to tech giants for data centers, per https://t.co/9Wr6itu0Jb.

The exemptions—signed by Gov. Kasich—give Google, Meta and Amazon at least $600 million each.

Legislators say the contracts can't be undone.

Wait. For. It. NASA animation shows Global temperatures warm slowly at first, then rapidly. Warming is accelerating! Here’s the truth. It’s real. It’s us. And we have to come to terms with it, and deal with reality, rather than deceiving ourselves, and hoping it goes away. It won’t… without intervention. #climate #globalwarming #science #climatechange
