Milton reaches Cat 5 as FEMA fights Helene misinformation
Hurricane Milton intensified into a monster storm as it approaches the Florida coast, reaching Category 5 strength. Milton is one of the strongest storms in recorded history. The National Hurricane Center said the storm's maximum sustained winds hit 175 mph on Monday. Milton is forecast to weaken before it hits the Florida Gulf coast Thursday but will still be a "large and powerful hurricane" at landfall. Mandatory evacuations have been issued for portions of Florida's coastline. Meanwhile, the US is still dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, which devastated the southeast.

Biden seeks to reopen nuclear power plants

President Joe Biden wants to meet the surging demand for electricity by reactivating decommissioned nuclear power plants, his climate adviser, Ali Zaidi, said Monday. Two projects are planned at the Palisades nuclear plant in Michigan and the Three Mile Island plant in Pennsylvania, where a partial reactor meltdown in 1979 remains the worst nuclear accident in American history. Biden has called for a tripling of U.S. nuclear power capacity by 2050 as part of a global push to fight climate change by reaching net-zero carbon emissions.

National debt will rise regardless of election

The national debt of the US is projected to balloon significantly over the next decade, regardless of whether Vice President Kamala Harris or former President Donald Trump wins the 2024 election, a report by the Committee for Responsible Federal Budget showed.
