Washington holds its breath after the public fallout between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk. The world's most powerful man and its wealthiest began attacking each other in a spectacle from inside the White House to social media. The feud began with Musk's criticism of Trump's legislative agenda, which would increase the deficit while eliminating tax incentives that have helped his electric automaker Tesla. Trump responded by threatening to cut government subsidies and contracts for Musk's companies, and things only escalated from there.
The city of Fernandina Beach just closed its window for companies to apply to manage a possible paid parking program. The city says it needs money for local projects that would be raised through paid parking. Some people who visit the area think they should do it another way.

A 90's music festival in St. Augustine is delayed - again - leaving some long-time attendees frustrated. The latest date for the As If! 90s event, June 21st, has been canceled and organizers say they're planning to move the show to the fall. The festival says all ticket holders will be refunded no later than June 14th. Ancient City Entertainment runs both the As If! 90s event and the Palatka Blue Crab Festival, which faced criticism over high prices, fewer vendors, and a lack of a carnival last month.

He says it strengthens Florida's commitment to the health and safety of firefighters by updating the state's Firefighters Occupational Safety and Health Act. It includes protections against occupational diseases and mental health challenges and introduces measures to limit firefighter work schedules to 42 hours per week, aiming to reduce burnout and fatigue.
