@WhiteCastle your AI sucks. Missed half of the order and when we realized it was missing at the window they can’t even charge me and require me to go through the line again? Worst. Service. Ever.

@revenueghost7 @WallStreetApes Maybe they would cooperate if the federal agents were also following the constitution instead of being told to violate rights with complete immunity. Can’t have laws for one group that don’t apply to another.

Finally some backbone This prevents the Minneapolis situation where the mayor openly defies federal law while expecting everything to run smoothly. You don't get to pick and choose which laws to follow when you're in government. Everyone knows the rules now. Cooperate or lose your position. This is how you restore order and respect for federal authority.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announces they have passed legislation to remove Mayors or anyone in government who doesn’t cooperate with Federal Law Enforcement with ICE mass deportations “I don't want a Minneapolis mayor situation in Florida. Well, guess what? Because of that legislation that we insisted on, if you did have a situation where they were even non-cooperative, refusing to cooperate, if they try to sabotage especially, we have the ability to remove them from office, suspend them from their positions. And so there's real teeth into what we're doing. Everyone knows their duties. Everyone knows they've got to cooperate.”

I’ve been asked about my updated thoughts now that now that newly released footage from January 13, 2026 shows Alex Pretti in a heated confrontation with immigration agents. In the video, he is seen yelling, spitting in their direction, and kicking a vehicle taillight until it breaks. Agents then bring him to the ground, and during the struggle his concealed firearm becomes visible. For reasons still unexplained, the agents leave the scene without arresting him or even removing the firearm. Which in my mind raises serious concerns & questions regarding the training of immigration agents. The footage shows Alex making poor criminal decisions that day. That should have been handled through the legal system like any other crime. Arrest, charges, court, due process. That is how accountability works in our country. What it does NOT do is justify what happened later. Nothing in that earlier incident changes the fact that Alex Pretti was killed by government agents after being disarmed. Nothing erases the reality that he was entitled to due process. Nothing makes street level, unilateral government use of lethal force an acceptable substitute for a courtroom, a defense attorney, and a jury. We are a nation of laws. Guilt is decided in court, not on asphalt. It is also deeply disturbing that the public was told Alex was a “would be assassin” and “domestic terrorist looking to massacre law enforcement.” Those are lies, meant to gaslight the American people. That should concern everyone, no matter your politics. You can believe he acted wrong on January 13 and still believe his killing was unjustified. Those two things can exist at the same time. Accountability for citizens and accountability for government must go hand in hand, or freedom collapses. This is not about left versus right. It is not about party, agency, or ideology. It is about whether we still believe in the Constitution, due process, and the rule of law. We need to stand united as Americans who believe that no one is above the law and no one is beneath its protection.

@bn9weather Same from Pinellas Park at 6:30am this morning.

We have frost in parts of Tampa Bay this morning! Check out these pictures sent to us through the Spectrum News App.

@Mike_Clay @bn9weather I’m looking at some island 70s and thinking “vacation, now”

Ok America, we are sorry we made fun when it was in the 80s here last weekend. Now we are cold too. Signed, Florida.

@officer_Lew No source, no truth. People believe anything they read on the internet if it aligns with their views, even when unverified or blatently wrong.

BREAKING🚨: 24 officers just resigned from the Minneapolis Police Department — and 18 of them have already joined ICE. Cops are getting tired of working for Liberals who in fact hate law enforcement

It’s a shame @pizzahut can’t manage to keep their app working t correctly. Phone number login the only way to sign in, but codes never show up. Guess we’re ordering elsewhere.

@IONTB I could smell it outside of the shelter in place zone at my house last night.

Pinellas Park: As of 9:30pm there is only a shelter in place order and the evacuation order is expected to be withdrawn momentarily iontb.com/pinellas-park-…

Here's the timeframe spots in Pinellas and Hillsborough counties will see the heaviest of this line. More will develop for the next few hours.

@Mike_Clay @bn9weather That’s a lot of lost vegetation.

Our Madeira Beach camera pre-Helene and today

Another hot one for Spring in Florida. I don’t want to imagine what the summer feels like is going to hit this year.

It’s been a HOT weekend. Feels like temps have hit 101F the last three days, with actuals peaking over 90. And it’s still SPRING. My AC can’t even keep up in the late afternoons.

@Uber_Support What options exist for someone that gets nowhere with in app support and doesn’t use X? DM me with options outside of social media support please.

@SpacialDrift We've been in touch via DM. If you have any questions, please let us know by replying to that message.

@UberEats your system is flawed. Wife ordered food, it was made wrong and is inedible but it doesn’t qualify for a refund? Who do we contact to fix this.

@Mike_Clay @bn9weather So. It’s getting busier this year.

Yep. This makes complete sense @Apple Because 1 minute > 60 minutes. #AppleWatchUltra2
