Article Icon 1Donalds Says He's Working with Haiti

U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds said Sunday he has met with Haiti's transitional government and its ambassador to help stabilize the country after Temporary Protected Status (TPS) ended for more than 300,000 Haitians.

Haitian authorities are building security forces and have taken back "about a quarter to half of the country" from gangs, the congressman and Republican nominee for governor said. He argued TPS was never meant to run "into perpetuity with no end."

In June, the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to revoke the TPS designation, which had first been granted after the 2010 earthquake. Roughly 158,000 Haitian TPS holders lived in Florida as of January.

Deportation flights resumed Thursday, when 161 people landed in Cap-Haitien rather than Port-au-Prince, where gangs control an estimated 70% of the capital. Haiti's Group Supporting Refugees and Returnees said the country isn't ready, while the State Department still warns Americans not to travel there.

Article Icon 1Lightning Kills Margate Mother, Daughter

A lightning bolt killed a 31-year-old mother and one of her 2-year-old twin daughters on a Margate sidewalk Sunday afternoon.

The two had just stepped out of their car when the bolt hit, a neighbor across the street said. Margate police and fire rescue arrived at the scene near Northwest 1st Street around 2:30 p.m. and began CPR.

Kenya Glasgow was rushed to a hospital in Deerfield Beach, and her daughter Kennedi to another in Fort Lauderdale with a police escort. Both died shortly after arriving.

The girl's father watched it happen. "A bolt of lightning came down, I got hit with the residuals from the ground, and I looked over, and that's when I saw them," Kam Glasgow said.

Article Icon 1Pilot Ditches Plane off Boca Raton

A 23-year-old pilot ditched her plane in the Atlantic off Boca Raton on Saturday and swam away unhurt.

Faith Tenkley left Page Field in Fort Myers before 8:50 a.m., bound for the Bahamas to pick up her parents, when her right engine failed, and the landing gear broke. Worried her fuel load could spark a fire at Boca Raton Airport, she made for the coast.

"I am incredibly fortunate and relieved to share that I was able to swim away from this incident," Tenkley said. She steered for open water, clear of buildings, paddleboarders, and swimmers.

A beachgoer's video shows the plane gliding low into the shallows. Lifeguards helped Tenkley ashore, and paramedics took her to a hospital as a precaution. Crews hauled the plane out on Sunday.

Article Icon 1Leaders Pleased with River Plan

The state's top water negotiator said he is pleased with the federal Colorado River plan, which avoided the deepest cuts feared.

Tom Buschatzke said the reductions provide stability while longer-term negotiations continue. He also noted Arizona could still sue if it believes later guidelines violate its legal right to Colorado River water.

Danny Seiden, president and CEO of the Arizona Chamber of Commerce & Industry, called the plan a workable path that avoids the most damaging scenarios.

Under the plan, Arizona will give up 760,000 acre-feet a year in 2027 and 2028, a 48% increase over current reductions, with the Central Arizona Project absorbing a 50% cut.

Phoenix hit 115 degrees Saturday, breaking a 15-year-old daily record as forecasters extended the area's extreme heat warning into next weekend.

Southern Arizona faces the same pattern, with Tucson's extreme heat warning extended through Saturday as highs near 110 degrees return midweek.

Saturday's daily record high at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport topped the 113 degrees set in 2011. Little rain is expected across the Valley amid the heat wave.

Nearly 90% of Arizona remains in moderate or severe drought, down from extreme drought levels following recent rainstorms.

Arizona restaurants are in the running for their first Michelin stars when the guide holds its inaugural Southwest ceremony Wednesday in Las Vegas.

Anonymous inspectors spent months judging restaurants across Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah. The awards ceremony takes place at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas.

Scottsdale chef Alex Stratta said the recognition will lend credence to Southwest cooking and give Arizona chefs a professional goal, calling it a substantial chapter for the state's food scene.

The guide has long weighed high-quality ingredients, consistent execution and storytelling through food, and chefs now also work to convey a restaurant's personality, Stratta said.

“The Future of Flight is Coming”

This statement from the U.S. transportation secretary after his historic flight in an eVTOL this June has captured Wall Street’s attention. 

Just last month, the FAA’s MOSAIC rule took full effect, expanding the certification pathway for personal aircraft like Doroni’s H1-X. And Florida’s leading the charge, selected as one of eight regions to lead the FAA’s flying car pilot program.

That's flying car company Doroni’s home turf. Luckily, they’ve spent nearly a decade building toward this moment. Backed by 12,000+ investors & customers alike, they’ve already received 600+ preorders for their H1-X, good for $240M+ in revenue.

Next, Doroni’s targeting commercial deliveries by 2028 and projecting $1.4B in annual revenue by 2032.
