Man Arrested for Death Threats Against Trump

A 46-year-old Palm Beach County man was arrested Friday night after making threats on social media to kill President Donald Trump.

Shannon Depararro Atkins faces one count of making written or electronic threats to kill, do bodily injury, or conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism.

Atkins also faces a drug possession charge. Detectives found cocaine on him at the time of the arrest, police say.

The investigation into Atkins began after a Jan. 19 tip to the FBI National Threat Operations Center about an Okeechobee man posting violent threats toward Trump on Facebook.

Florida to Share in $7.4B Opioid Settlement

Florida will share in a $7.4 billion multistate settlement reached with the Sackler family and Purdue Pharma, with the state's portion expected to be $233 million to $325 million.

Purdue developed and aggressively marketed OxyContin and other opioid medications, contributing to widespread addiction and overdoses, Florida's attorney general says.

As part of the settlement, the Sacklers will relinquish control of Purdue, and the company is banned from selling opioids in the U.S.

The agreement also does not give the Sackler family immunity from future lawsuits, a part of a previous settlement overturned by the Supreme Court.

U.S. Officially Renames Gulf of America

The U.S. Department of the Interior began implementing President Donald Trump's name change for the Gulf of Mexico, officially renaming it the Gulf of America.

Last week, Gov. Ron DeSantis became one of the first governors to use the new name, referring to Gulf of America in an official Florida document.

While the new name will be used in the U.S., other nations will not be required to recognize the name.

Also last week, Trump changed the name of North America's highest peak, Denali, back to its historical name, Mount McKinley, named after President William McKinley.

Heads up! There's a new disruptor in smartphones: Mode Mobile. Mode can turn your phone from a cost into an income source—and investors are watching the launch of the company's pre-IPO offering.¹

Mode saw 32,481% revenue growth from 2019 to 2022, ranking them the #1 overall software company on Deloitte's most recent fastest-growing companies list. Mode's flagship product EarnPhone, a budget smartphone, has already helped consumers earn & save $325M+.

🫴 Mode's Pre-IPO offering is live at $0.26/share, and 30,000+ shareholders already participated in its previous sold-out offering.

We spend over 30 hours a week on smartphones. Mode monetizes this usage, turning phones into potential income generators.

Uber did it to taxis, Airbnb to hotels and now Mode Mobile is doing it to the $1 trillion smartphone industry. The difference this time is that you can invest in their pre-IPO offering at just $0.26/share.

They've just been granted the stock ticker $MODE by the Nasdaq, and with $60M in revenue they may soon reach a point where they no longer accept outside investment.
