Girl who fell off Disney cruise "was not being held" by father at time of incident, authorities saySouth Florida law enforcement is investigating after a 5-year-old girl fell overboard from a Disney Dream cruise ship Sunday, prompting her father to jump into the ocean after her.The Broward Sheriff's Office told CBS News Miami on Tuesday that the "little girl was not being held, as erroneously reported on some social media sites," referring to online speculation that her father may have been holding her on the ship's railing moments before the incident.The incident happened aboard the Disney Dream as it sailed between the Bahamas and Fort Lauderdale. After she fell overboard, witnesses told CBS News Miami her father jumped in after her and treaded water for more than 10 minutes. Inside 'Alligator Alcatraz': The new migrant detention facility erected at an abandoned Everglades airportPresident Donald Trump on Tuesday visited "Alligator Alcatraz" — the newest illegal immigrant detention facility in the nation that's located in the Florida Everglades and surrounded by swamplands teeming with alligators and pythons. "It's known as ‘Alligator Alcatraz,' which is very appropriate because I looked outside, and that's not a place I want to go hiking anytime soon," Trump said Tuesday during his tour. "But very soon this facility will have some of the most menacing migrants, some of the most vicious people on the planet." "We're surrounded by miles of treacherous swampland, and the only way out is really deportation," the president added. "And a lot of these people are self-deporting back to their country where they came from."See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

DHS responds after viral Alpha News report on Kenyan sex offender in state governmentThe story of Wilson Tindi, a convicted sex offender and Kenyan national who rose to a leadership position in Minnesota's Department of Education, has now caught the attention of federal immigration authorities.After Alpha News broke the story on Monday, it exploded online, racking up millions of views, tens of thousands of shares, and drawing national outrage.State legislators and major conservative accounts like Libs of TikTok reposted the story, putting pressure on officials to respond.And now they are.The U.S. Department of Homeland Security issued a statement to Libs of TikTok addressing the case directly, which the agency reposted on its X account:“Under Tim Walz's sanctuary city policies, this convicted sex offender and illegal alien was not just released into Minnesota communities but was paid U.S. taxpayer dollars and given access to innocent Americans that could be victimized and harmed. We will get this sicko and criminal illegal aliens out of American communities — sanctuary politicians be damned.”Nonprofits weigh in on potential impacts to SNAP benefits under ‘Big Beautiful Bill'There are concerns that restricting Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits could send more people to nonprofits, but those food providers are already seeing an increase in visitors, in part due to rising costs.Some Twin Cities nonprofits explained that if more people lose SNAP benefits under President Donald Trump's “Big Beautiful Bill,” their demand will increase.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Malik Beasley at center of gambling investigation; Pistons pause deal talks with free agent, per reportOne of the NBA's top free agents is now the subject of a serious gambling investigation from the U.S. District Attorney's office. Detroit Pistons guard Malik Beasley faces allegations of gambling related to NBA games and prop bets during the 2023-24 season as a member of the Milwaukee Bucks, according to ESPN. One prominent sportsbook reportedly detected unusual betting activity on Beasley props beginning in early 2024. In a Jan. 31, 2024 matchup between the Bucks and Portland Trail Blazers, the odds on Beasley recording less than 2.5 rebounds moved significantly before the game, going from around +120 to -250 after the Under experienced a high amount of action.

Reusse Scoop: The MN Wild are going to trade Kaprizov for Connor McDavid!!!In a fitting tribute, Dundas names baseball stadium for Bill Nelson, team's biggest boosterOn a lazy summer weekend when overcome with an urge to see a grassroots ballgame, the cure often has been to take a drive an hour south to Dundas. The Cannon Valley League offers some of the state's top competition, and if it's the Dukes vs. Miesville's Mudhens, you have an unmatched rivalry.I was there one Sunday when there was a playoff game, with both teams guaranteed to advance to the state tourney. Immediately after the game, the managers went into a small area to draft pitchers from other Cannon Valley teams.Joe Driscoll had been drafted by Dundas the previous year. He walked around with a beer in hand, waited a couple of minutes and then found out he would be a Mudhen for this tournament.Driscoll tipped the beer upward in a salute and said, “Well, every team needs a role model.”Joe died three years ago, and the world has been a less enjoyable place since then.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

DOJ sues Minnesota over college tuition benefits for undocumented immigrantsThe United States Department of Justice is suing Minnesota over state laws which offer some undocumented immigrants access to lower in-state college tuition. The government is also challenging a new state program which offers some students free tuition.Members of the federal government are arguing these state laws “unconstitutionally discriminate” against other U.S. citizens and from other states who aren't given the same benefits.Most recently, state lawmakers passed the North Star Promise Program, which launched just last fall and provides state funding to cover any unpaid tuition and college fees for students from families making less than $80,000 a year. The amount of money a student receives is based on whatever costs aren't already covered by other grants and scholarships.

What exactly the feud between Donald Trump and Elon Musk is really about.Trump says Elon Musk will face 'very serious consequences' if he funds Democratic candidatesPresident Donald Trump on Saturday said there would be “serious consequences” if tech mogul Elon Musk funds Democratic candidates to run against Republicans who vote in favor of the GOP's sweeping budget bill.“If he does, he'll have to pay the consequences for that,” Trump told NBC News in a phone interview, but declined to share what those consequences would be.“He'll have to pay very serious consequences if he does that,” he added.The president also said he has no desire to repair his relationship with Musk after a feud between the two men erupted into public view earlier this week.“No,” Trump said when asked if he had any wish to do so.Asked if he thought his relationship with the Tesla and SpaceX CEO was over, Trump said, “I would assume so, yeah.”Trump's comments were the most extensive since he and Musk exchanged threats and attacks on X and Truth Social earlier this week. He added that he thought the Republican Party was more unified than ever after the two men fell out in front of the world.Trump said he has no plans to speak with Musk anytime soon. “I'm too busy doing other things,” he said, adding, “I have no intention of speaking to him.”Trump also accused Musk of being “disrespectful to the office of the President.”“I think it's a very bad thing, because he's very disrespectful. You could not disrespect the office of the President,” he added.Musk on Thursday launched a barrage of posts on X against the president, including a now-deleted post highlighting the onetime links between the president and the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.“That's called ‘old news,' that's been old news, that has been talked about for years,” Trump said on Saturday. “Even Epstein's lawyer said I had nothing to do with it. It's old news.”In the days leading up to their public falling out, Musk had been critical of a GOP-led spending bill that the House passed last month.In the Oval Office on Thursday, Trump responded to Musk's criticisms, telling reporters, “I'm very disappointed because Elon knew the inner workings of this bill. I'm very disappointed in Elon. I've helped Elon a lot.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The filing states that the victims in the shooting "were particularly vulnerable based on the location of the incident on a university campus," adding that "the Victims were particularly vulnerable based on the large scale of attendees at the public event, besides the intended Victim there were numerous people present besides the intended victims and Defendant created greater-than-normal danger to the safety of these other people."The document states that the "sentencing departure issues should be decided by the trial jury."

ÉCLAIRCISSEMENT: Texas Teen Wins 2025 Scripps National Spelling BeeFaizan Zaki, a 13-year-old from Allen, Texas, clinched the 2025 Scripps National Spelling Bee on Thursday, correctly spelling “éclaircissement” to claim the title and over $50,000 in cash and prizes in a dramatic final round.Zaki, last year's runner-up, triumphed over eight finalists in the centennial Scripps National Spelling Bee, hosted at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center near Washington, D.C. The contest began with 243 spellers aged 11 to 14, narrowed to Zaki, Sarv Dharavane, 11, and Sarvadnya Kadam, 14. All three misspelled words in one round, forcing a tense additional round.“I can't remember the last time we've seen this kind of late-round drama here at the spelling bee,” Paul Loeffler, the Bee's TV analyst, said, per CBS News.In the 21st round, Zaki faced Kadam and spelled “éclaircissement,” a noun meaning a clearing up of something obscure. He pumped his fists and collapsed to the floor in excitement after finishing the word.“I'm really happy,” Zaki said afterward. Earlier, he faltered on the spelling of “commelina” but was reinstated after collective missteps by his fellow finalists.Grief tech: redefining death in the age of AIFew experiences are as profoundly impactful as losing a loved one. The void left behind can seem insurmountable, leaving us yearning for just a little bit more time with those we miss. This deeply human desire is fueling the rise of grief tech, which promises to forever change how we preserve the memory of those who are no longer alive.There is a growing number of grief tech start-ups that allow people to have virtual conversations with AI chatbots of their deceased loved ones.While some believe grief tech could help people find closure, there are also concerns that it could have a negative impact on their mental health.“There is evidence from multiple studies that proximity seeking [behaviours aimed at restoring a closeness with the person who died] is actually linked with poorer mental health outcomes,” explains Dr Kirsten Smith, clinical research fellow at the University of Oxford.“Who gets to decide what ‘helping people grieve' means?” asks psychotherapist and grief consultant Megan Devine.“People have always engaged in various kinds of rituals where things are done with the belongings of the deceased, where certain kinds of possessions are preserved,” remarks Dr Elaine Kasket, bereavement lead at the Digital Legacy Association. “This could be seen as a technological version of these analogue, physical rituals.”One thing is certain: as AI continues to evolve, so too will our approach to death and remembrance. The challenge lies in harnessing this technology thoughtfully, ensuring that we do not commit further harm in our efforts to help. By extension, we cannot lose sight of our humanity in our pursuit of digital immortality.
