  • California AG announces lawsuit over frozen family assistance funds

    California Attorney General Rob Bonta held a rare evening press conference Thursday, announcing new legal action against the Trump administration. Bonta said California was joining other states suing the administration over a funding freeze for child care and family services. The other states taking part in the lawsuit include New York, Colorado, Illinois and Minnesota, which Bonta notes are all led by Democrats.Across all five states, around $10 billion is frozen, affecting the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, Child Care and Development Fund, and Social Services Block Grant programs. Approximately $5 billion of the funds are frozen in California. The Trump administration claims there is widespread fraud and misuse of taxpayer money in the five states. Bonta and his office allege that the funding freeze violates the Administrative Procedure Act, the Separation of Powers by freezing funds already approved by Congress, and the U.S. Constitution’s Appropriations Clause and Spending Clause.”There’s a process for concerns about waste fraud and abuse to occur,” Bonta said during the press conference. “This is the federal government, without any evidence sent to us, cited to in their letter, and I don’t believe they have any, saying that there is fraud in these five Democratic states’ programs and cutting off all funding. And I think it’s very telling as they are cutting off the funding, they are asking for information. You usually ask for the information first.”This marks the 53rd lawsuit by California against the Trump administration in less than a year.Watch the full press conference in the video below: See more coverage of top California stories here | Download our app | Subscribe to our morning newsletter | Find us on YouTube here and subscribe to our channel

  • Florida CFO announces legislative proposal to oversee local government spending

    Florida CFO announces legislative proposal to oversee local government spending

    Updated: 11:30 AM EST Dec 18, 2025

    Editorial Standards ⓘ

    Florida’s Chief Financial Officer, Blaise Ingoglia, announced a new legislative proposal on Thursday to make local government more accountable and transparent. According to Ingoglia, 11 local governments are projected to have spent $1.6 billion wastefully over the last year. Some of these include $190 million in Orange County, $112 million in Manatee County, $301 million in Miami, $344 million in Palm Beach County and $22 million in Orlando.Ingoglia said local governments are doing this to make excuses to raise property taxes. To protect taxpayers from excessive local government spending, Ingoglia proposed to formally establish the Florida Agency for Fiscal Oversight (FAFO) in state law.The CFO’s legislative proposal: Codifies the “Florida Agency for Fiscal Oversight” in Florida statute to increase accountability and transparency in local government and make this effort a long-term, permanent initiative. Requires both state and local government employees to complete FAFO training on how to report waste, fraud, and abuse. Requires each local government to submit an annual Financial Efficiency Report. Grants government employees, contractors, subcontractors, and taxpayers whistleblower protection if they contact DFS to report waste, fraud and abuse of taxpayer dollars. Allows DFS to pursue financial penalties from local governments if they don’t respond to inquiries promptly, including by withholding any state funds until they do. Obligates local governments to upload all government contracts into the state’s FACTS system or something similar that is searchable and indexed. Codifies the ability of Florida’s CFO to recommend the removal of any elected official who is found to have committed financial abuse, malfeasance or misfeasance. Requires DFS to audit local governments if they propose to raise taxes via referendum.”My legislative proposal will codify much-needed reforms that will positively impact future generations. Government grows when people stop watching, and bureaucrats stop caring. Through my proposal, we will ensure that someone is always watching how your hard-earned tax dollars are spent,” Ingoglia said in a new press release.

    LOUISVILLE, Ky. —

    A UPS cargo plane crashed and exploded Tuesday while taking off from an airport in Louisville, Kentucky, killing at least seven people and injuring numerous others.

    Watch aerial footage of the initial scene in the video player above.

    The plane crashed about 5:15 p.m. as it was departing for Honolulu from Louisville’s Muhammad Ali International Airport, the Federal Aviation Administration said.

    Video showed flames on the plane’s left wing and a trail of smoke. The plane then lifted slightly off the ground before crashing and exploding in a huge fireball. Video also revealed portions of a building’s shredded roof next to the end of the runway.

    The death toll had risen to at least seven Tuesday night, and four of those killed were not on the plane, officials said.

    Among 11 people who were hurt, some had “very significant” injuries, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said.

    “Anybody who has seen the images, the video, knows how violent this crash is,” he said.

    Sister station WLKY reports that at least two people are in critical condition and at least eight have non-life-threatening injuries. There are at least two others missing from a nearby auto shop.

    The governor said a business, Kentucky Petroleum Recycling, appeared to be “hit pretty directly,” and a nearby auto parts operation was also affected.

    Beshear said he didn’t know the status of the three crew members aboard the plane, a McDonnell Douglas MD-11 made in 1991.

    Because of the long trip, it was fully fueled, leading to the large fire. It spread easily to nearby facilities, like a large recycling center.

    UPS said the National Transportation Safety Board is in charge of the investigation and will be the primary source of information about the official investigation.

    According to the FAA National Airspace Status System, the Louisville airport will be closed until 7 a.m. ET Wednesday.

    “We don’t know how long it’s going to take to render that scene safe,” said Louisville Police Chief Paul Humphrey.

    WARNING: Video below shows the fiery crash. Viewer discretion advised.

    A video taken by Leirim Rodríguez shows several massive balls of flames exploding into the sky in a row, followed by large billowing clouds of black smoke. Rodriguez told the AP she and her husband just happened to be in the area at the time of the explosion.

    Destyn Mitchell said she was working as a host at an Outback restaurant, about a 15-minute drive from the crash, when she heard a “very loud boom.” About 20 people were in the restaurant.

  • YouTube rolls out its redesigned video player globally

    YouTube is bringing a wave of quality of life improvements to its platform. These visual updates and new features will roll out globally starting this week.

    The main update to YouTube is a redesigned video player that has made the icons and UI elements to obscure less content. This new player design will appear on mobile, web and TV devices. Some users have had access to this feature for about a month, so it may not be brand new to everyone. The seek feature where a viewer can double-tap to skip has also been updated in a way that YouTube says is “more modern and less intrusive” and transitions between tabs have also been upgraded on mobile.

    For those of you who spend a lot of time in the comments, you’ll see a new threaded approach to replies. This update aims “to provide a more focused reading experience within the replies panel.” The process of adding videos to playlists and the Watch Later queue has also been simplified and adjusted to be a “smoother and more visual” experience. Finally, some content will start displaying little animations when you hit the like button. The blog post gives music videos and sports videos as examples of where users may start seeing the flashier visual.

  • ‘Gruesome and horrific’: Florida attorney general criticizes Worrell over prosecution decisions

    Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier said nonprosecution policies in Orlando are putting families at risk. During a news conference Friday, Uthmeier said Orlando has a pattern of “soft-on-crime policies.”Uthmeier called out 9th Judicial Circuit State Attorney Monique Worrell for not pressing charges on “gruesome and horrific” child predator cases.In one case, a man on a park bench was accused of masturbating while facing multiple kids playing. Uthmeier said that, although there was video evidence and testimonies from people, Worrell decided that charges did not need to be brought. “She gave this man a free walk in the park, and now other kids are in jeopardy,” Uthmeier said. In another case, a suspect was accused of sharing videos depicting the sexual exploitation of children. However, Worrell dropped all charges, according to Uthmeier. “Soft-on-crime policies do not work,” Uthmeier said. Uthmeier said child predators should be prosecuted to the fullest.In August, Worrell reported a 21% decrease in the backlog of nonarrest cases, though more than 10,000 cases remain. She emphasized the need for increased funding to retain prosecutors and improve trial statistics.Worrell responded during her own news conference, addressing the attorney general’s claims. “It is an outright reckless disregard for the truth to suggest that I have non-prosecution policies on the books,” Worrell said. She defended her office’s handling of the cases mentioned by Uthmeier, sharing notes from the attorney on the Chapman case. “I’m not standing before you today telling you that what happened in that park was wrong. But I am standing before you today telling you that I trust the word of the attorney who was assigned to this case when he said, although those actions were wrong, he could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that they were illegal,” Worrell said.Worrell criticized the attorney general’s approach, stating that instead of collaborating with her office to address crime, Uthmeier’s conferences spread misinformation and prioritize politics over public safety.Related stories below:

  • Flagler Beach receives nearly $9 million for restoration efforts

    Flagler County has received millions of dollars in federal funds to help fortify its coast by rebuilding dunes lost during Hurricane Milton.Flagler Beach received nearly $9 million in federal funds. The new dunes will stand about 14 feet tall, much larger than before. Construction will start in the Malacompra area and move north toward Marineland. The county’s coastal engineer stated that, because a similar project is already underway to the south, they were able to move quickly and are working to amend the current contract to retain the same contractors. She said it took a while to get these funds approved, but she is excited to have the engineers finally design these new dunes. Construction is scheduled to start on November 1 and is expected to take approximately three to four months to complete. The hope is that once this project is completed, the dunes will be able to withstand a Category 2 hurricane.
