By Michelle Chapman Retailers are trying to overcome economic uncertainty in 2025. Tariffs, inflation and prolonged fear of the recession have made many Americans uneasy and pulled back their spending. Consumer spending accounts for around 70% of US economic activity, so a recession will increase the chances of contracting the US economy. Once revenue from major retailers has ended, it has become clear that the trade war launched by the Trump administration is affecting retailers in very different ways. Walmart has already raised prices last week and has won public responsibilities from President Donald Trump after saying that he must…

Jeff Amy ATLANTA (AP) — Florida was the first state in 2023 to pass laws regulating cell phone use in schools. Just two years later, more than half of all states have introduced the law and are more likely to act immediately.

Many don’t know Bowles outside the football field, but he showed another aspect in an ongoing exclusive interview with WFLA grounds. “[My boys]that’s the greatest joy of my life,” Bowles said.

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) – Several bills passed during this legislative meeting could expand the state’s use of the death penalty. This is because Florida is preparing to run its sixth this year. Without changes, there will be as many people as they will run compared to everything in 2023. For one thing, the state may have immediate additional options other than a deadly injection or an electric chair. Desantis signs two new bills to Winter Haven “If current methods are not available or proved unconstitutional, the state can resort to methods that are not considered unconstitutional,” state Assemblyman Bernie Jack…

By Cora Lewis NEW YORK (AP) — More Klarna customers are struggling to pay back their “buy now, pay later” loans, the short-term lender said this week. This disclosure corresponded to reports by lending platform Bankrates and Lendingtree. This cited an increase in the percentage of all “buy now, pay later” users. What’s been delayed or missed in installments are signs that hinder financial health among some of the US population, says some analysts that say the country’s total consumer debt has risen to a record $18.2 trillion, with the Trump administration moving to collect federal student loans. Shoppers who…

(WFLA) – Law enforcement officials and emergency medical workers trained together on high-intensity active shooter drills this week are working to improve response times and save lives at an increasingly common mass casualty event.

TALHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — A federal judge on Wednesday rejected an argument made by the artificial intelligence company that the chatbot is protected by the initial amendment, at least for now. The developer behind Characher.ai is about to dismiss a lawsuit alleging that the company’s chatbot forced a teenager to commit suicide. By the judge’s order, what legal experts say is that it is one of the latest constitutional tests of artificial intelligence, illegal death lawsuits can proceed. The lawsuit was filed by Florida’s mother, Megan Garcia. Megan Garcia claims that her 14-year-old son, Swell Setzer III, was a victim…
