Florida is set to pass its largest budget ever, set at $86 billion. The legislature will vote on Sunday. If passed, Gov. Scott will have 15 days to sign it into law. Florida is a balanced budget state, meaning the government cannot operate at a deficit. $97 million has been allocated for hiring additional school resource officers. And $67 million allocated for firearms training for teachers.

Republicans in Pennsylvania are challenging the state's redistricting, accusing the Democrat controlled state Supreme Court of gerrymandering. The case will be heard by three federal judges.

Europeans are crying out one voice, Exempt us from your tariffs or suffer our wrath! Bring it. I suppose it's that sort of sentiment that gets you in a trade war. The EU is giving us 90 days to sort out an exemption.
