The Trump administration has announced new oil drilling operations off the coasts of California and Florida, marking the first such expansion in these regions in decades. This move, intended to boost U.S. oil production, has drawn criticism from those who warn it could harm coastal communities and ecosystems.
The oil industry has actively pursued access to new offshore areas, including Southern California and off the coast of Florida, arguing it would enhance U.S. energy security and create jobs.

'It's frankly ridiculous' Donald Trump says US is considering abolishing birthright citizenshipPresident Donald Trump is set to make an unprecedented visit to the Supreme Court today to hear oral arguments on his fight to end birthright citizenship.

Florida college student stashed AR-15 under bed, and tactical vest — and ordered 1,500 rounds to his dorm room, police say

Students at a Florida college described their shock after a classmate was arrested for having 1,500 rounds of ammunition delivered to his dorm room – where authorities also found an AR-15 hidden underneath his bed, according to reports.
Rollins College senior Constantine Demetriades, 21, was arrested on Wednesday on a charge of possession of a firearm on school property.
According to an arrest affidavit, the school’s assistant campus safety director told police that Demetriades purchased ammunition online that was to be delivered to him at the school’s campus in Winter Park, a suburb of Orlando, ClickOrlando reported.
A search of Demetriades’ dorm revealed an unloaded AR-15 rifle underneath his bed inside an “unsecured black carrying case” with one loaded magazine and five empty magazines.
“I’m happy they’ve found it because I’ve seen him around campus, and if they didn’t do anything about it, I’d personally fear for my safety,” a student told ClickOrlando.
