As we approach the 25th anniversary of 9/11, I draw solace from the kindness shown by the people of Gander, Newfoundland.
Amid the darkness of that day, they were a flickering light that showed we are better when we come together and care for one another.

Mobster/con man Jimmy Sabatino continues to amaze from inside the federal Supermax prison. My exclusive story on claims he’s been ordered to remain silent in prison.
Can you really order an inmate not to speak for the next 16 years? @CBSMiami

In case you missed this during the Labor Day holiday. Who is lying about Hope Florida: @GovRonDeSantis or DeSantis’s own administration? 👇

I found this interesting. Nicole @locklin2026, the Democratic nominee for Congress against @MarioDB, may be the only former insider from an AI company running for Congress this year. She raises serious warnings about the federal government's failure to regulate AI. @CBSMiami

She had spent five years working as lead counsel to an Artificial Intelligence company before deciding to run for a House seat. It will be interesting to see if this issue - which is front and center - can make people take notice in a seat that Democrats have largely written off.

A closer look at a newly filed and potentially historic civil rights lawsuit against the state of Florida concerning the state’s failure to treat people in jail suffering from serious mental illnesses. And the state admits it is violating its own laws.

There is a lot I could say about the Miami Herald and how it has been mismanaged for years. But that is for another day. Right now, a lot of hard working journalists just lost their jobs and so if you can help, please do.
