Residents trapped in apartments rescued
SUMMARY: During Hurricane Milton, extensive water rescues occurred in the Tampa Bay Area, particularly in Pinellas County, where about 200 people were evacuated from the Standard Apartments. The rescues, which took around six hours, involved agencies from various counties. Many residents were trapped on the second floor as water reached chest-high levels. They sent SOS signals for help, and some reported that the flooding started unexpectedly around 2 a.m. The apartment complex, known to flood, is now deemed unsafe, leaving residents uncertain about their future and the loss of their belongings due to the flood, particularly those without renters insurance.

Georgia lawmaker proposes new childcare safety measures after toddler’s tragic death
SUMMARY: Following the tragic choking death of 16-month-old Jamal Bryant Jr. at a now-closed Brunswick daycare, Georgia lawmaker Rick Townsend is advocating for enhanced safety measures at childcare facilities. His proposed bill would mandate the availability of portable airway clearance devices to help remove obstructions from children’s airways. It also requires all childcare employees to be CPR-certified within 45 days of employment. Townsend emphasizes the need for these measures due to the vulnerability of young children and highlights the potential that these resources might have saved Jamal’s life. Additionally, he plans to introduce a bill for minimum liability insurance at childcare centers.

Trump should rethink revoking former officials’ security details, Tom Cotton says
SUMMARY: Sen. Tom Cotton, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, urged President Trump to reconsider removing security protection from three former senior officials: John Bolton, Mike Pompeo, and Brian Hook. Cotton argued that their security is vital not only for them but also for the public, given ongoing threats from Iran due to their involvement in the 2020 drone strike on Gen. Qasem Soleimani. Trump had revoked their protection despite the Biden administration’s extension of security due to credible threats. Cotton emphasized that Trump’s decision could hinder future recruitment of qualified advisers for his administration.

Trump says inflation isn’t his No. 1 issue. So what will happen to consumer prices?
SUMMARY: Donald Trump, in his return to the White House, focused on reducing energy costs and tackling immigration, rather than directly addressing rising consumer prices. He downplayed inflation as his main concern, opting instead to blame former President Biden for high prices. While Trump aims to increase oil production, reduce regulations, and persuade companies to pump more, economists warn that his policies may inadvertently increase inflation. His proposals, including tariffs and deportations, could also raise costs. Trump is pushing for Federal Reserve rate cuts, while critics argue his focus is not on lowering costs for working-class Americans.
