Trump’s praise for the Florida governor — previously rare for his former presidential opponent — comes one week after state lawmakers agreed to spend $2.75 million to rebrand the Palm Beach International Airport.

The Trump administration has paid Florida $58 million for operating “Alligator Alcatraz,” the first of promised federal reimbursements set to flow into the state.

It’s the first installment of the $608 million FEMA grant Florida’s been waiting for since the detention center opened last summer.

DeSantis said he’s glad Florida can take a back seat in the Trump administration’s war to quash undocumented immigration during a Brevard County press conference.

Days after Tampa prosecutors revealed that a suspected murderer consulted ChatGPT about placing human remains in a dumpster, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced Monday that he’s adding the case to his landmark criminal investigation into OpenAI.

Florida officials are fighting a court order to expand detainee phone access at the so-called “Alligator Alcatraz” center, arguing it would be too costly for taxpayers — but they’ve already spent roughly $34 million in public dollars on technology, IT support, and more, state records show.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier is investigating whether OpenAI is criminally responsible for the mass shooting at Florida State University last April, he announced Tuesday.

For the second time in two months, Gov. Ron DeSantis is trying to drive his “AI Bill of Rights” through the Florida Legislature. He’s one of few Republicans carving out an anti-artificial intelligence path, one that bucks President Donald Trump and his tech titan allies.

A panel of the Florida Legislature agreed Friday to distribute more than $105 million in federal dollars to shield FIFA World Cup matches in Miami from unmanned drones and other attacks.

The subpoena, served to the Environmental Law Institute and its Climate Judiciary Project, demands the group disclose its funding sources, communications with Florida judges, and role in climate-related litigation.

Gov. Ron DeSantis delayed Wednesday a long-anticipated special session to redraw the state’s congressional maps, pushing it back by one week and expanding the call to address artificial intelligence and vaccine mandates.

Two hours before he went on a shooting rampage, Phoenix Ikner had a question for ChatGPT. His question, which came mere hours after he told the chatbot that God had abandoned him, hung in his oft-used log with the AI platform for two seconds. Then, ChatGPT detailed how the school would lock down, national media would swarm, and the president would express condolences.
