SUMMARY: The Trump Administration’s decision to shut down Radio and TV Marti, a federally funded service aimed at providing uncensored news to Cuba, has sparked reaction in South Florida. The broadcasts were halted this morning, and its offices in Doral were closed. While some believe the cuts are a financial necessity, others are concerned about the loss of vital news for the Cuban community. Many Cubans in Miami have relied on these services for political updates, though some feel the audience is small. Congresswoman Maria Salazar stated she would work with President Trump to ensure continued access to uncensored news for Cubans.

Hauldren, who grew up a Cubs fan despite a White Sox family background, created much of the song in Chicago near Wrigley Field, making the moment especially meaningful. The two have since connected and hope to meet, marking a memorable experience for Hauldren and his band.

SUMMARY: Senate Democrats are forcing a vote on blocking global tariffs announced by Donald Trump earlier in April. After market turmoil, Trump suspended the tariffs for 90 days.

Despite concerns over the economic impact, Republicans are wary of crossing the president. Democrats argue the tariffs harm the economy and increase recession risks, pushing the resolution as a way to reassert congressional power.
