Restoring power, clearing debris and distributing fuel are now the top priorities in Florida as the state continues to reel in the wake Hurricane Milton. Parts of western and central Florida continue to face the risk of significant flooding in creeks and rivers continue to rise. In a “major” flood stage, the agency expects “extensive inundation of structures and roads,” with the possible need to evacuate people and transfer property to higher elevations. Water levels are expected to continue rising in the coming days, posing a major flood risk in low-lying parts of the county, officials said. Parts of central Florida are also facing elevated risks of flooding due to high water levels in the St. Johns River and Ocklawaha River.

Polling has consistently found that Biden is a drag on Harris' candidacy and that voters are eager for a new direction. But Harris has been reluctant to be critical of Biden by outright critiquing his presidency. Harris would seek to distance herself from Biden somewhat delicately, likely giving the White House a heads up before doing so, three of the people familiar with the discussions said. Just hours after her interview on “The View,” Harris faced the same type of question by Stephen Colbert, who asked what major changes would be clear in a potential Harris administration and what might stay the same. Harris delivered a similar answer during her debate with Trump last month, which Biden took particular note of, NBC News has reported.

Simmons also wrote that the vice president eats a healthy diet and engages in regular daily aerobics and core strength training. Harris' last medical exam in April was "unremarkable," Simmons said, adding that all of her routine exams and bloodwork were "normal." The report noted Harris' skin was "normal apart from mild sun damage in sun-exposed areas." Presidential candidates typically release their medical records, and presidents tend to have annual exams. This is the first time Harris' medical records have been made public.

At least one person has been killed and a dozen others were injured at a shooting at a Halloween party in Oklahoma City Saturday evening, according to police. A "disturbance" ensued at the events center where the party was being held, leading to multiple shots being fired inside and outside the building, a spokesperson for Oklahoma City Police Department told NBC News. It's not clear at this time what the disturbance was that led to the shooting. Several people have been detained in connection with the shooting but the "suspects are unknown at this time," the spokesperson said. "We are in the process of interviewing witnesses," police said.

Facebook wants to win back Gen Z users by transforming itself into more of a tool for young people to navigate adulthood better. The social media platform announced a redesign last week that caters to what execs believe younger people want to see more of. But Meta, the parent company of Facebook, noticed that young adults active on the platform tend to use its community-centric features like Facebook Marketplace and groups. “One is just: What do young people want — particularly young adults, Gen Z, ages 18 through 29 — from a social app these days? “Nearly all Facebook users are telling us they’re there to keep up with friends and family.

And they are long-shot races, especially during a presidential election, when ticket-splitting isn’t as common as it used to be. In Florida and Texas, Democrats are focusing on state abortion bans to try to push beyond their recent losses in those states. Cruz’s campaign spent almost $5 million on ads in September and $4 million in the first 10 days of October. The spending disparity is less stark in Florida, where in September Mucarsel-Powell’s campaign spent $8.6 million and Scott’s campaign spent $2.1 million. In Maryland, the Senate race features a similar dynamic, with the race rated by Cook as “Likely Democrat,” even though Harris is expected to win there easily.

Not long before he met the Davises, Maw pitched a local businessman on investing in his engine business.

But the surveys also reveal a noticeable gap in support between the pro-abortion rights amendments and the Democratic presidential and Senate candidates who are campaigning on a pro-abortion rights platform. Pro-abortion rights ballot measures won in every state where they appeared on the ballot, including conservative-leaning ones, in the 2022 and 2023 elections. Similarly in Arizona, a proposed amendment to enshrine abortion rights in the state’s constitution has clear majority support. In Montana, there’s little evidence that the presence of an abortion rights amendment has had a major effect on the race between three-term Democratic Sen. Jon Tester and Republican challenger Tim Sheehy. For example, in Missouri, public polling indicates broad support for a constitutional amendment to enshrine abortion rights, while Republican Sen. Josh Hawley and Trump hold strong leads in their races.

He’s lived through many storms in his 30 years on Longboat Key, but Bob Parrish said he’s never before seen the level of destruction that Hurricane Helene blew into town a little more than two weeks ago. It also brought a double whammy of destruction from two major hurricanes to a string of islands and their residents who were still rebuilding from Hurricane Ian in 2022. Honestly, I only cried a little bit after Milton because I cried so much after Helene. Even before Helene and Milton brought the one-two punch, Rodocker was still reeling from Hurricane Debby’s path of destruction in August. “It was like a right, a left and an undercut.”Marco Island, seen here on Sept. 26, was badly flooded by Hurricane Helene.

But the measures that Beijing’s economic planning agency announced this week proved to be an anticlimax — the trillions of yuan that observers were hoping would be revealed never materialized. Beijing might even miss its annual growth target of 5% — a figure it often surpassed prior to the pandemic. But while Chinese officials project confidence, the markets and the country’s public seem less convinced. Its broader financial lethargy and this week’s market turmoil will hardly be welcomed by Beijing. Costphoto / NurPhoto via Getty ImagesDomestic stimulus aside, there have been outward signs that China’s economy is in trouble.

U.S. officials believe Israel has narrowed down what they will target in their response to Iran’s attack, which these officials describe as Iranian military and energy infrastructure. There is no indication that Israel will target nuclear facilities or carry out assassinations, but U.S. officials stressed that the Israelis have not made a final decision about how and when to act. U.S. and Israeli officials said a response could come during the Yom Kippur holiday. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin spoke with his Israeli counterpart, Yoav Gallant, last night and they discussed broad strokes about an Israeli response. U.S. officials have continued to urge the Israeli government to make their response proportional, sticking to military targets and avoiding oil, gas and nuclear facilities.

The man who died in a Colorado mine elevator accident was a 46-year-old father and tour guide there, officials said Friday as investigators try to understand what exactly occurred. The man killed was identified as Patrick Weier, who worked as a tour guide at the mine. Weier had a 7-year-old son and lived in Victor, a community of less than 400 in the area, officials said. Mikesell said the state does safety inspections and an official from that agency was on scene after the accident Thursday. “I know it has passed its safety inspections,” Mikesell said, but he did not have the dates during Friday’s news conference.

Former President Donald Trump on Friday repeatedly called for using the death penalty against migrants who kill U.S. citizens and law enforcement officers. "I’m hereby calling for the death penalty for any migrant who kills an American citizen or a law enforcement officer," Trump said at a campaign rally in Reno, Nevada. Trump has also previously called for using the death penalty against human and drug traffickers. A Trump campaign spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Friday night. Trump has frequently used tactics to portray noncitizens entering the United States as a threat to the livelihood and safety of Americans.

Body parts found in a freezer earlier this year after a Colorado home was sold have been identified as those of the 16-year-old daughter of the home’s previous owner, authorities said Friday. The death of Amanda Leariel Overstreet is being investigated as a homicide and an investigation is ongoing, the Mesa County Sheriff’s Office said. The last time Amanda had been seen or heard from was in April 2005, the sheriff’s office said. Amanda lived in the Grand Junction and Harris County, Texas, areas, the coroner’s office said. "The house was purchased, fully remodeled, and sold to the current owner," the sheriff's office said.

CNN —Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign is expected to release a report Saturday detailing her medical history and health information, a senior aide said. His July exit from the race opened the door for Democrats to go on offense on a biographical contrast that they’d previously sought to downplay. Trump has not released his actual medical records, and memos about his health in the past have often used hyperbolic language. Harris has never before released her medical records. She has said on social media that her late mother Shyamala Gopalan Harris – who died of colon cancer in 2009 – worked as a breast cancer researcher, and has advocated for breast cancer screening.

Jayde Powell started her social media career over a decade ago, working for wellness brands and big name companies like Delta Airlines. The money she earns from LinkedIn helps her pay her mortgage and utilities bills, and offset monthly business expenses, while she grows her own company, she says. Powell has made $32,700 through The Em Dash Co. and another $2,750 from other social media content so far this year. "There have been times where I haven't been able to pull in new client work [at the Em Dash Co.]." Here's how Powell developed her voice on social media and leveraged it into a lucrative LinkedIn side hustle.

With rising costs, stagnant salaries, and the pressures of social media, financial anxiety among young adults is at an all-time high. According to Time Magazine, there is growing evidence linking financial anxiety to negative physical and mental health outcomes.

We see our peers going on trips or buying things we can't afford, which only feeds into our financial anxiety.

He then decided to stay put for Hurricane Milton, posting about his prep and decision to ride out the latest storm. But the trend was a reminder of how social media can make dangerous situations worse. TikTok also directed users who watched or searched for Hurricane Milton content to information from the US Federal Emergency Management Agency. But social media users (myself absolutely included) also incentivize this kind of creator behavior, by scrolling and watching. Many of the creators who shared content from the heart of the storm racked up thousands of likes and comments.

Asked about the note, Trump campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt did not deny that Lighthizer has been meeting with investors. But she cautioned, "No policy should be deemed official unless it comes from President Trump directly." Lighthizer is advising Trump's presidential campaign on economic issues, according to Inside U.S. Trade. Lighthizer is also a director of Trump Media, the publicly traded social media company that is majority owned by the former president. Lighthizer's reported conversations, and his apparent influence with Trump, both underscore how central tariffs are to carrying out Trump's overall economic vision.

Riojas is part of a base of Hispanic consumers that has become a focal point for Constellation Brands' beer business, which also includes products such as Corona and Pacífico. Hispanic- and Latino-identifying customers accounted for 32.5% of Constellation Brands' sales in 2023, according to data from consumer research firm Numerator and investment bank Jefferies. "Hispanic consumers are the single most important consumer group for our beer business," said Mallika Monteiro, executive vice president and managing director for Constellation's beer brands. The company officially acquired the U.S. beer business of Groupo Modelo, which included Modelo and Corona, from Anheuser-Busch in 2013. "Time and time again, you see that there's that strong bond that consumers form emotionally with brands," Aguirre-Rodriguez said.

Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris arrives for a campaign event at the Dort Financial Center in Flint, Michigan, October 4, 2024. Vice President Kamala Harris is in "excellent health" and "possesses the physical and mental resiliency" required to serve as president, her doctor said in a letter released Saturday that summarizes her medical history and status. As Harris' office released the medical report, her campaign highlighted recent media reports raising questions about Trump's health and mental acuity and his failure to provide information about health status and medical history. Since Biden was replaced on the ticket with Harris, Trump's own health has drawn more attention. Last November, Trump marked Biden's birthday by releasing a letter from his physician that reported the former president was in "excellent" physical and mental health.
