The United States Senate on Tuesday advanced the confirmation of President Donald Trump\u2019s nominee Anne-Leigh Moe to serve as U.S. District Judge for the Middle District of Florida. The vote was 53\u201346.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am pleased to announce the nomination of Anne-Leigh Gaylord Moe to serve as Judge on the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida,\u201d Trump wrote.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnne-Leigh has fiercely advocated for Sunshine State residents as a Judge on Florida\u2019s Second District Court of Appeals, and as Trial Judge on Florida\u2019s Thirteenth Judicial Circuit Court. Anne-Leigh will prioritize LAW AND ORDER unlike other activist Judges who put the safety of Illegal Criminals over the safety of AMERICANS. Congratulations Anne-Leigh!\u201d Trump added.<\/p>\n
Moe has served as a judge on Florida\u2019s Second District Court of Appeal since 2022. Before that, she spent nearly a decade as a circuit judge in the state\u2019s Thirteenth Judicial Circuit, which includes Hillsborough County. She previously worked as an assistant state attorney in Tampa.<\/p>\n
Her confirmation marks another major judicial win for the Trump administration as it continues to fill vacancies across the federal courts.<\/p>\n
President Trump appears to be in no hurry to resolve the ongoing government shutdown, according to analysis by CNN\u2019s Harry Enten.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s because, according to the CNN data analyst, it doesn\u2019t seem to be hurting him politically as much as it is hurting Democrats. In fact, Enten says, Trump\u2019s faring well.<\/p>\n
Enten compared Trump\u2019s current net approval rating to his standing during the 2018\u20132019 shutdown, noting that at a similar point in that earlier standoff, Trump\u2019s approval had already declined by three percentage points and \u201cwould fall considerably more.\u201d<\/p>\n
In contrast, Enten said the current shutdown has so far had no measurable impact on Trump\u2019s overall support and in fact, he\u2019s even up by a point.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis shutdown hasn\u2019t eaten into Donald Trump support at all. His net approval rating is actually up a point in terms of his popular support,\u201d Enten said. \u201cSo the bottom line is this: the first shutdown during Trump\u2019s first term, 2018-2019, was hurting Donald Trump. This one is not hurting him at all. There\u2019s no real reason Donald Trump might say, at least when it comes to popular support, \u2018I want to get out of this shutdown.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Enten said Trump\u2019s approval ratings have remained stable because fewer Americans hold him responsible for the current government shutdown than during his first term. During the 2018\u20132019 shutdown, 61 percent of respondents blamed Trump for the impasse, compared with 48 percent now, according to Enten.<\/p>\n
\u201cAgain, it\u2019s no real wonder that Donald Trump, at this point, looking at the shutdown, says, \u2018You know what? It\u2019s not actually harming me politically,\u2019 in large part, because he\u2019s getting less of the blame,\u201d Enten said.<\/p>\n
It also needs to be noted that Congress is responsible for passing funding bills \u2014 not the president. So it\u2019s unclear why he would ever get the blame.<\/p>\n
Democrats have pledged to block any spending legislation that fails to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies set to expire at year\u2019s end, while Republicans have so far declined to negotiate a bipartisan agreement to end the shutdown.<\/p>\n
With only slim majorities in Congress, Republicans would need support from several Senate Democrats to pass a short-term funding measure to reopen the government \u2014 meaning they, not Republicans, are now responsible for the ongoing shutdown.<\/p>\n

Just as the world slumbered, the ground beneath suddenly roared to life.<\/p>\n
Without a hint of warning, the earth convulsed and cracked, sending shockwaves through sleeping towns. Buildings shuddered violently, some giving way entirely.<\/p>\n
Barefoot and disoriented, people poured into the streets, their faces etched with fear. What began as a subtle tremor rapidly escalated into one of the most powerful earthquakes the region has seen in years\u2014a terrifying ordeal that had only just begun.<\/p>\n
In the early morning hours of Monday, a massive 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck near the China\u2013Myanmar border.<\/p>\n
The quake\u2019s epicenter lay a mere 10 kilometers beneath the surface, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, unleashing violent shaking felt across southern China, northern Thailand, and parts of Myanmar.<\/p>\n
Tragically, initial reports confirm dozens of lives lost and hundreds more injured, with countless others feared trapped under collapsed structures.<\/p>\n
The quake\u2019s reach extended far beyond its epicenter, rattling major northern Thai cities such as Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai, where panicked residents evacuated buildings en masse.<\/p>\n
Rescue teams are battling immense challenges\u2014damaged infrastructure, power failures, and broken communication networks\u2014to deliver urgent aid.<\/p>\n
Around the clock, emergency responders strive to provide shelter, medical attention, and relief to those caught in the disaster\u2019s wake.<\/p>\n
In Summary<\/p>\n
As the devastation becomes clearer, the race to save lives intensifies. This powerful quake has left a wide swath of destruction across several countries, underscoring the critical need for swift international cooperation and humanitarian assistance. The hours ahead will be crucial in determining how many can be rescued and cared for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
