Your daily recap of the biggest news from around the state that impacts you throughout the Palm Beaches and Treasure Coast.

All eyes were on the U.N. General Assembly meeting and President Trump’s meeting with Xi Jing Ping last week. Expectations were measured, though hopes were high in the financial markets that having all the players in the two major wars which have had significantly negative impacts on energy markets, might lead to a turning point in the conflicts.

That's what compassion is. ICE activity is what happens when you're here illegally, and you chose to refuse the compassionate offer to comply with the law.

The better news is that if the Iran war and perhaps even Russia-Ukraine war come to an end – in the not-so-distant, we may well have a historically great economy without preconditions. It won't be soon enough to save the midterms for Republicans – however it would be enough to right the course for '28.
