On average, Florida home insurance rates are around $6,000 a year, compared to a national average of $1,700.

I’ve been waiting for someone to do a story on this deal for Trump to develop a golf resort in Oman. It’s finally here. While Comer is hunting ghosts from 8 years ago trying to prove Biden got money, Trump is making millions from foreign entities on this deal as you read this.

.@RonDeSantis vetoed $2M for @BrevardZoo because one of his political allies, the insufferable @VoteRandyFine, urged him to do so b/c the Zoo wouldn't let Fine campaign there.

I am not making this up.

A new survey showed decreasing worker engagement was equally prevalent no matter the work setting — 30% of remote workers, 31% of hybrid workers and 30% of completely in-office workers said they were less engaged now than six months ago. https://t.co/sZ1B4yt1Q3

We recommend avoiding the vague jargon officer-involved or police-involved. Be specific about what happened. If police use the term, ask for detail. How was the officer or officers involved? Who did the shooting? If the information is not available or not provided, say so.

We have been investigating the delayed evacuations in Lee County, where Hurricane Ian's death toll is at 16 rising.
