Poem of the Day

The Compliment That Outwits Time

Shakespeare’s famous sonnet is not merely saying, “You’re beautiful.” It makes a daring promise: beauty can fade, but a poem can keep someone vividly alive.

Quote of the Day

Hannah Arendt on the One Thing No Undo Button Can Fix

We often treat forgiveness as moral sugar coating. Hannah Arendt had a sharper idea: it is the political technology that keeps one irreversible mistake from becoming the rest of your life.

The National Ear

The Price Tag Keeps Moving, and Washington Keeps Pretending It Has a Plan

Tariffs, immigration fights, artificial intelligence, and a budget deadline now collide in one national argument about who pays and who gets protected. The fine print matters more than the shouting, especially when the fine print lands on your grocery receipt.

The Tiny Lies That Turn Into a Very Large Relationship

Three readers ask about family group chats, hidden spending, and the ex who keeps “accidentally” showing up. The common thread: trust rarely collapses in one dramatic scene; it leaks out through the little things people hope won’t count.

Governor Ron DeSantis Issues Executive Order In Preparation For Tropical Depression Nine

Governor Ron DeSantis Issues Executive Order In Preparation For Tropical Depression Nine | Executive Office of the Governor Skip to main content Governor Ron DeSantis Issues Executive Order In Preparation For Tropical Depression Nine October 6 2026 TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Today, Governor Ron DeSantis signed Executive Order 26-202 declaring a state of emergency for 25 Florida counties in preparation for Tropical Depression Nine, which is expected to strengthen in the coming days. The Governor and the Florida State Emergency Response Team (SERT) are taking precautions now to ensure Florida remains prepared for potential impacts. Read the Executive Order here.“Today, I signed an Executive Order issuing a state of emergency ahead of potential impacts from Tropical Depression 9. This order will allow the Florida Division of Emergency Management to stage critical preparedness resources and ensure Florida is ready to respond,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “Floridians should take this time to get disaster plans in place and ensure their hurricane supply kit is stocked.”For more resources on how you and your family can prepare ahead of the storm, visit FloridaDisaster.org.SERT teams are currently mobilizing resources to support storm preparation and response efforts. These resources will be strategically staged in Tallahassee and the Santa Rosa area to cover the storm’s rapid deployment as needed. Staged assets include: Generators Fuel Flood Barriers Boxed Water Pallets Shelf-Stable Meals Flood Buckets Tarps Tiger Dams Sandbags The current forecast indicates a tropical storm or hurricane could make landfall somewhere along the central Gulf Coast later this week. Impacts are expected to extend beyond the point of landfall, with heavy rainfall, strong winds, coastal flooding and isolated tornadoes possible across North Florida. Additional precipitation could further saturate soils and increase the potential for flash flooding following the state’s recent significant rainfall.Governor DeSantis issued the State of Emergency for the following counties: Baker, Bay, Calhoun, Columbia, Dixie, Escambia, Franklin, Gadsden, Gilchrist, Gulf, Hamilton, Holmes, Jackson, Jefferson, Lafayette, Leon, Liberty, Madison, Okaloosa, Santa Rosa, Suwannee, Taylor, Walton, Wakulla, and Washington. To continue to receive updates, follow @FLSERT on X for live updates. Visit FloridaDisaster.org for more information on how to stay prepared and ready.
