I’m incredibly proud of our troopers, staff, and the support we’ve received from the public and our partners statewide. And, the fact remains that the Florida Highway Patrol “Black and Tan” IS the nation’s BEST LOOKING CRUISER.” "The AAST Best Looking Cruiser competition is great way for our State Troopers across the nation to connect with those we serve,” said FHP Colonel Gary Howze. “Your Florida Highway Patrol members are proud to represent the great State of Florida on this national stage. This win is for everyone that participated — and for the public, who benefit every day from strong partnerships and a shared commitment to public safety. Thank you, Florida, for making history with us!”The 2025 contest kicked off on June 30 and featured a record 49 states.

For the Secretary of Defense to act out of sync with the President on an issue this big? That’s beyond concerning. It’s alarming.”Sen. Lindsey Graham added, “We’ll get to the bottom of that,” while Sen.

Don Bacon (R-NE) is raising concerns that Pentagon official Elbridge Colby may have acted on his own. But CNN reports the pause came directly from Hegseth — and the White House was left scrambling to explain the decision.Trump says he was never informed.Do you support a full Senate investigation into this Ukraine weapons pause? Should heads roll? Tell us what you think. ... See MoreSee Less
