NOAA, coral reefs, Florida Keys, coral reefs, coral bleaching, climate change, warm oceansCoral reefs off the coast of Florida are being hit by a mass bleaching event due to record high ocean temperatures, and early indications suggest a global mass bleaching event could be underway. The Sentinel climate research and monitoring site in the Florida Keys has recorded 100% coral bleaching since late July. There have been eight mass coral bleaching events that have impacted the entire Florida Keys since 1987, Manzello said. "We're talking about thousands upon thousands of miles of coral reefs undergoing severe bleaching heat stress," Manzello said. "Now, it's still way too early to predict whether or not there will be a global bleaching event, but if we compare what is happening right now to what happened in the beginning of the past global bleaching event, things are worse now than they were in 2014 to 2017."

The Mega Millions jackpot grew to more than $1.6 billion on Aug. 9, 2023. Justin Sullivan | Getty ImagesThere's finally a winner for the massive Mega Millions jackpot — but the lucky ticketholder may face unexpected pitfalls, experts say. A single ticket sold in Florida matched all six numbers Tuesday night, marking the game's largest prize in history, according to Mega Millions. While Florida doesn't tax lottery winnings, there's an upfront 24% federal tax withholding that goes to the IRS. 'The curse of the lottery is real'In addition to taxes, the Mega Millions winner will likely encounter other obstacles, experts say.

One US official said they have “no doubt” that Putin is “trying to hold out” until the 2024 election. Another source familiar with the intelligence said “it’s sort of the elephant in the room” for the US, Ukraine and Europe. Trump, the far-and-away front-runner for the GOP nomination at this point, has not committed to backing Ukraine in the war. Ron DeSantis walked back previous statements calling the war in Ukraine a “territorial dispute” he has maintained a broadly anti-interventionist policy. “Putting a shape on the US election will have an enormous effect” in how the war proceeds, the official said.

"To be clear, any AP Psychology course taught in Florida will violate either Florida law or college requirements," the organization said in a statement posted on its website on Thursday. "Therefore, we advise Florida districts not to offer AP Psychology until Florida reverses their decision and allows parents and students to choose to take the full course." "We encourage the College Board to stop playing games with Florida students and continue to offer the course and allow teachers to operate accordingly." Palelis did not immediately respond to a question about whether the state had advised superintendents that the course violated state law. Discussions between the state and College Board about the psychology course began in May, a letter from Florida posted by the College Board on its website showed.

WASHINGTON, Aug 1 (Reuters Breakingviews) - Republicans with ambitions to move into the White House have a love-hate relationship with Bidenomics. A continued push for true “energy independence” probably would look more like Biden’s strategy than anything else. The agenda includes 10 core tenets, including greater independence from China, energy independence and promoting domestic investment. He called for “aggressive new restrictions” on Chinese ownership of U.S. infrastructure in a Jan. 18 campaign video and emphasized domestic energy independence in a Feb. 9 video.

It was Dr. Scott Rivkees, the Florida surgeon general. Ron DeSantis had decided that the worst was over for Florida, he said. Mr. DeSantis had begun listening to doctors who believed the virus’s threat was overstated, and he no longer supported preventive measures like limiting indoor dining. Mr. DeSantis was going his own way on Covid. Nearly three years later, the governor now presents his Covid strategy not only as his biggest accomplishment, but as the foundation for his presidential campaign.

CNN —Florida vacations are back on, sans stinky seaweed. In April, the seaweed set a record, with scientists identifying 3 million tons of sargassum in the Caribbean Sea. The sargassum that lands on Florida beaches originates in the Gulf of Mexico and the western Caribbean, Hu went on. Small amounts of the seaweed may still land on Florida beaches, but not in large enough quantities to present a problem, according to Hu. But while Florida enjoys clean beaches, in the eastern Caribbean, “they’ll still see a lot of sargassum,” Hu noted.

Tkachuk, who brings an emotional edge and an ability to step up when it matters most, scored two overtime goals on the road against Carolina before sending Florida to the Stanley Cup Final when he netted the series-winning goal with 4.9 seconds left. "We had one goal at the start of the season: get better every day and put ourselves in the opportunity to play for the Stanley Cup, and now we have that chance," said Vegas captain Mark Stone. "I mean, it's Game One of the Stanley Cup Final, you're gonna have some nerves and you're gonna have some excitement," said Panthers defenseman Marc Staal.

But no matter how many storms hit Florida this year, the state’s residents are already struggling as they try to get homeowners’ insurance. But in Florida, State Farm has about 7% of the market, according to the Insurance Information Institute, an industry trade group. Just more than half of insurers based in Florida are on the state insurance regulator’s watch list due to their financial health. Homeowners in the state pay private insurers about $6,000 a year, compared to a national average of $1,700. But wind damage to homes and roofs are covered under homeowners’ insurance policies.

Ellison has pumped $35 million into Scott's super PAC, and could legally give him millions more. On Monday, Ellison attended Scott's campaign launch in North Charleston, where Scott described him as one of his mentors. Trump's political operation includes the "MAGA, Inc" super PAC, while Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has enjoyed the support of the "Never Back Down" super PAC. Scott's campaign isn't the first time a Republican presidential candidate has heavily relied on a single megadonor.
MIAMI — Donna Deegan, a Democrat, was elected mayor of Jacksonville on Tuesday, shaking up the politics of Florida’s largest city, where Republican mayors have been in power for all but four of the last 30 years. Ms. Deegan, a former television news anchor, defeated Daniel Davis, a Republican endorsed by Gov. Ron DeSantis, who had been seen as the likely favorite in the traditionally Republican stronghold. In recent years, Jacksonville had been the most populous city in the country with a Republican mayor, Lenny Curry, who is term-limited; that distinction now goes to Fort Worth, Texas. But while Florida has become decidedly more Republican — and while many have viewed Mr. DeSantis, a likely 2024 presidential contender, as all-powerful in state politics — Jacksonville has emerged as a swingy corner of the state.
The Biden campaign is aiming for the president to compete in North Carolina and Florida in 2024, per the Washington Post. However, despite the statement from the GOP, North Carolina has a two-term Democratic governor, Roy Cooper, and remains competitive for the party on the statewide level. Newly-elected Florida Democratic Party chair Nikki Fried, a former state agriculture commissioner, is working to reverse the party's slide as it heads into next year's races. "North Carolina is the fullback of presidential politics. "But it's critical for Democrats to keep it close because Republicans have to expend extraordinary resources and time making sure they win North Carolina," he added.
DeSantis signed a bill into law that will hide his travel records from public view. DeSantis signed the bill into law unceremoniously on Thursday afternoon, among more than 35 other bills. The security argument was nonsensical to Ben Wilcox, research director and co-founder of the good government organization Integrity Florida, given that the new law will apply to past travel records. "It strains credulity to suggest that hiding travel records could somehow prevent a security breach in the future," Wilcox told Insider. Another elections related bill is headed for DeSantis that will allow him to maintain his seat as governor while running for president.
Republicans in Florida are changing the law so DeSantis can run for president and keep his job. The Trump campaign accused DeSantis of violating the law, even though he hasn't made a bid official. "If an individual who is Florida governor is running for president, I think he should be allowed to do it," Passidomo told reporters at the time. Hutson disagreed that with the assessment that DeSantis wouldn't be able to both operate as governor and run for president. April 25, 2023: This story has been updated with a comment from the Trump campaign.
Republicans in Florida want to change the law so DeSantis can run for president and keep his job. The so-called "Resign to Run" law has been changed for candidates before. The Trump campaign accused DeSantis of violating the law, even though he hasn't made a bid official.

Growing Republican support for Donald Trump's re-election won't be enough, Chris Sununu said. On NBC, the New Hampshire governor said Trump is a "four-time loser" who has cost the GOP seats in Congress. "Donald Trump is a loser," Gov. Donald Trump is a loser. So, Donald Trump is positioning himself to be a four-time loser in 2024."
Hangzhou in China is one of the cities where wealth has grown the fastest in the past decade, a new report says. Hangzhou in China comes out on top of the list assessing the fastest-growing millionaire hotspots. Two further Chinese cities, Shenzhen and Guangzhou are also in the top 10, coming in third and seventh place respectively. Andrew Amoils, head of research at wealth intelligence firm New World Wealth, which worked on the report with Henley & Partners, links the jumps to various factors. "The US's dominance over the global tech sector has probably played a role in European cities struggling.
New Yorkers moved to Miami in droves during the pandemic — fleeing high taxes in the Empire State. But property taxes in Miami were among the fastest rising in the US last year, a new report found. Overall, the South saw much higher property tax hikes than the Northeast, the data show. Florida's unique property tax lawsFor many people in Florida, this uptick came as a big surprise, Insider previously reported. So, even if their home values skyrocket as newcomers flock to the region, the higher tax bills may still be within their means.
Miami Beach's mayor recently said officials "don't want spring break in our city." Spring break is among the reasons the state generates billions of dollars in tax revenue per year from tourism. But there are signs that booming population growth, which Florida's Office of Economic and Demographic Research has described as the state's "primary engine of economic growth," could help diversify the state's economy. The number of arrests in the city during spring break more than doubled in 1986 from the same period in 1985. While thousands of college students still frequent Fort Lauderdale during spring break, the city's current mayor, Dean Trantalis, described them as "very well behaved."
Rather, Alabama is the most affordable state to retire in, according to WalletHub's "2023 Best States to Retire." The analysis compared all 50 states across three key categories: health care, quality of life and affordability. In Hawaii, a $1 million retirement fund would be empty in a little over 10 years — the fastest of any state, according to GoBankingRates. Despite ranking ninth in affordability, Florida came in at No. A $1 million retirement reserve would last about 18 years there, per GoBankingRates.
For other states to compete, they will need to pay attention to what Florida is doing right. Floridians pay no income tax and fewer taxes overall than people in states like New York, California, or Massachusetts. But a low tax rate isn't the only thing people care about. Despite having a budget half the size of New York's and a larger population, Florida, by many metrics, is able to do significantly more with the taxes it collects. Florida is also outshining New York and other major population centers in tackling the soaring cost of housing.
A new national Quinnipiac University poll shows some striking fault lines emerging in the still-early 2024 Republican presidential race. But it’s the stark GOP divides in GOP support between Trump and DeSantis that stand out in the poll. Among just self-identified Republicans, Trump gets 48% versus 31% for DeSantis. And among white Republicans with four-year college degrees, DeSantis is ahead of Trump, 51%-22%. When Biden was matched up against DeSantis, it was DeSantis 47%, Biden 46%.
Many Americans have seen the lack of a state income tax as a way to get ahead financially. Many have also been drawn there because it's one of nine states with no state income tax, which could potentially save them thousands of dollars per year. Despite the lack of an income tax, Florida has higher sales and property taxes than some of its peers, and due to Florida law, newcomers are seeing higher property tax increases than longstanding residents. Before moving to the Sunshine State, it's worth considering how Florida's cost of living compares to where you live now, and to your potential employment opportunities. Indeed, the lack of an income tax is a major financial perk for Floridians.
