Florida evacuees in Georgia weigh next steps after Hurricane Milton
SUMMARY: In recent days, many evacuees from metro Atlanta are attempting to return home after fleeing Hurricane Milton. Traffic on I-75 in Broward County, Florida, reflects this urgency, but officials advise patience as they assess safety conditions. While some plan to stay with family further north, others are uncertain about the state of their homes and businesses. Many, like Michael and Gizmo, are seeking shelter in Atlanta Motor Speedway, while Cheryl Carr, who evacuated from Fernandina Beach, is returning despite financial struggles. The overall sentiment is one of anxiety as residents worry about potential damages and the future of their livelihoods.

Hurricane Milton hit Florida as a category 3 storm on Wednesday night.

MTG on DOGE: 'The American people's money has truly been stolen' | FOX 5 News
SUMMARY: During a meeting discussing improper payments, it was revealed that significant fraud has led to the theft of American taxpayers’ money. Social Security numbers of deceased individuals, including those over 115 years old, have been exploited by criminals to obtain federal funds unlawfully. Elon Musk and the Doge committee are collaborating on this issue, emphasizing the need for bipartisan action to address these financial abuses. Proposed “Doge Cuts” aim to formalize solutions through legislative measures. The ongoing challenges highlight outdated systems within federal agencies and the importance of reform to prevent further losses to fraud.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green (Dist. 14) explained what was discussed during Wednesday night’s DOGE meeting with Republican lawmakers. She said DOGE has found that the American people are being robbed by criminals.

The exemption applies to automakers connected to the USMCA and aims to alleviate potential trade tensions. Trump has stated he is open to further exemptions. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau criticized the tariffs as “very dumb,” and both Canada and Mexico have threatened retaliatory measures, raising fears of a broader trade conflict.
