With Old Sparky having been retired, 'Hot Shot Sammy' is the only name of the game when it comes to executing criminals who are on Florida's death row, and is being put to use once again.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has just signed his second death warrant since taking office this past January, and could be on pace to surpass Gov. Rick Scott’s record 23 signed death warrants in 8-years as governor of Florida.

Photographer reveals letter between Trump and Mexico by Telemundo
The president, Donald Trump, took out a sheet of paper folded in two of his sack, he pretended to read it, he folded it again and while he waved it he said "here it is, but you can not see it yet".

However, a photographer from The Washington Post managed to capture part of the content of the letter...
