DeSantis, who suspended his presidential campaign in January and later endorsed his bitter rival Donald Trump, called the bill a common-sense approach to energy policy. “We’re restoring sanity in our approach to energy and rejecting the agenda of the radical green zealots,” DeSantis said in a post on the X social media platform. Florida is already about 74% reliant on natural gas to power electric generation, according to the U.

A record level of parochial pork-barrel spending in Florida’s new $117.5 billion state budget shows that the annual practice of paying for thousands of “member projects” is out of hand.

(JTA) Despite months of deteriorating relations and increasingly hostile rhetoric, the complete shutdown of trade between Turkey and Israel earlier this month came as a shock to many. The shutdown, which Turkey’s Islamist-leaning president Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced May 3, is putting pressure on prices in Israel, cutting off a major trade route for kosher food and affecting people on both corners of the eastern Mediterranean. “For the last two weeks, everything stopped.
