Listen:
President Donald Trump signed a slew of executive orders in his first day in his new administration
Here’s a snapshot of two that could impact some Floridians.
Trump reversed former President Biden’s executive order to lower the cost of prescription drugs.
It had protections for Medicare and Medicaid enrollees, with one initiative capping certain general drug prices at 2 dollars.
AARP declined to comment on Trump’s order, but they did emphasize out-of-pocket prescription drug caps for Medicare Part D enrollees will stay the same. .
Trump also signed an executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America.
Within 30 days of the order, federal offices must ensure all federal references to the Gulf reflect the new name.
Pinellas County’s Tourism organization, Visit St. Pete Clearwater, touts the city’s beaches on a national and international scale.
A representative from the organization declined an interview, calling discussion on the change “speculative” and “hypothetical”.

Welcome home Mr President I hope you have a great weekend and that you can stay for a while
Ass kissers share stupidity with IT!
I would like to talk about the Family Caregiver Act Tax Credit which you spoke about in October of last year. I took care of my 88 yo father who served his country. This was the hardest job I have had in my 60 years of life. Financially, this is hit at the worst time. he passed away on 11/1124 in the Gainesville VA however there is so much I can share that were roadblocks and issues that may be somebody else won’t have to go through the family caregiver act tax credit would be tremendous help since I have been unemployed while taking care of my father.. There were programs in our area that received a lot of money to help people like me and my dad, but impossible to navigate through the system. I just gave up trying
SAVE YOUR BREATH…TRUMP CARES NOTHING FOR YOU!
DEI is done, get over it
Can you make it where the people who is trying to get their ssi and back pay of their ssi easier.
My wife and I a 100% disabled veteran tried ti get help for caregivers and there was so much red tape and the social worker assigned to our case would not do her job and just kept stalling My wife died May 31, 2024 with no help. Since then The VA gave me money to pay fora care giver to help me but would not approve my wife who does the same thing my caregiver gives me now. What happened to our system? I am 100%service disabled veteran and we could get no help. The social worker should be fired instead of sitting on her a—. Doing nothing and not knowing her job. Ther ios too much of this in the Federal Government people not being trained
right and just come to work for the pay check and do not care about veterans and their families.
DEI is over!
Same situation, I’m a 100% service connected disabled. I tried to apply for my wife to get caregiver benefits but was told I don’t qualify.
Look forward to Trump/Musk trying to cut vet benefits to pay for their billionaire’s tax cut.
Amy programs like that grant and aid are considered waste by the rich folks ya all voted for … poor people getting programs cut but musk grabbing 400 million to supply the gov with crap cybertruvks like 40 of em for 400 Trump had an EO to dismantle the VA but no replacement .. hope you voted for something that helps you not against your best interests
Why can’t the VA keep good doctors at Cape Coral VA? No orthopedic or cardiologist doctors. Instead we have to drive to Tampa or wait 5 or more weeks for community care. Hopefully things will get better soon.
I’m a 100% service connected disabled. Keep in mind that 5 week wait is exactly what everyone on private school insurance deals with. Try not to complain too much about your free health care.
Without the VA we’d have to cough up $800/mo to get me on my wife’s work plan. Not mention deductibles and copays. I’m damned lucky to have VA coverage.
They’re cutting VA benefits and didability
It will not be okay for us under Trump .He doesn’t care about us in Medicaid or social security.
Trump has an EO to dismantle the VA
Loads b of FL PEOPLE VOTED AGAINST THEIR BEST INTEREST
