Gov. Ron DeSantis has vetoed Florida's new e-bike safety bill, and his reason for doing it might surprise you.SB 382 sailed through Tallahassee. It passed both the House and the Senate unanimously. Not one no vote. The bill would have capped e-bike speeds at 10 mph when riding within 50 feet of a pedestrian, required riders on shared paths to yield and signal before passing, and created a Micromobility Device Safety Task Force to study the issue and recommend future rules.Then on June 25, DeSantis killed it.His objection? Surveillance."This bill will likely lead to enhanced surveillance by local governments against citizens," the governor wrote in his veto letter. He argued the 10 mph rule would be nearly impossible for a rider to measure on the fly, and that enforcing it would "inevitably" mean speed detection and monitoring devices aimed at ordinary people.At a news conference Friday, he didn't soften it. "Do we really want to have policing of e-bikes?" DeSantis said. "What it will lead to is more surveillance of people by law enforcement. And we don't need that."He called the bill "a little bit of an overreach."Here's what the veto actually does for us on the Space Coast: nothing changes at the state level. There is still no uniform statewide framework. That means local governments and school districts keep setting their own rules, and those rules can vary wildly from one city or county to the next.Even the bill's own sponsors aren't fighting back. Sen. Clay Yarborough, who co-sponsored it after watching young Floridians get severely injured in e-bike crashes, said the governor's concerns "are valid" and that it's back to the drawing board.So now the question lands in the laps of parents, school boards, and city councils. With crashes involving teens and kids climbing, do local leaders fill the gap themselves, and if they do, does the governor's warning about surveillance and over-policing come true right here at home?What do you think? Should the state have set one clear standard, or was DeSantis right to worry about where this leads?#SpaceCoast #Florida #eBikes ... See MoreSee Less

BREAKING: US Strikes Iranian Targets After Drone Attack on Cargo Ship in Strait of HormuzThe United States military carried out strikes Friday against Iranian missile and drone storage sites and coastal radar positions around the Strait of Hormuz, retaliating for an attack a day earlier on a commercial cargo vessel transiting the critical waterway, according to US Central Command.CENTCOM said Iranian forces launched at least four one-way attack drones at ships in the strait Thursday. One drone struck the upper deck of a large cargo vessel on its starboard side, damaging the bridge. The ship was still able to continue on its way, and no casualties or environmental damage were reported. US forces shot down three other drones.President Trump called the strike a “foolish violation” of the ceasefire agreement that ended the recent war with Iran. “Nobody saw it coming,” he said, “and it hit a ship and did some damage. Can’t do that stuff.”Asked in the Oval Office whether Iran would face consequences, the President would only tell reporters, “You’re going to find out.”The incident marks the first major flare-up since Washington and Tehran signed a memorandum of understanding to reopen the strait and restart negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program. Just hours before Thursday’s attack, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps warned that ships would only be granted safe passage along routes declared to Iran, directly challenging the US position that the waterway is open and free once more.The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the most important chokepoints in the global economy, with a large share of the world’s oil shipments passing through it each day.We are following this developing story.#BreakingNews #StraitOfHormuz #Iran ...
