Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Nora Rahm. Three days after Hurricane Milton struck Florida, there are still more than a million and a half homes and businesses without power.
Florians are also finding it hard to fill up their gas tanks. NPR's Jacqueline Diaz has more. Gas stations in Sarasota and Fort Myers are experiencing major fuel shortages. And in the Tampa and St. Petersburg area, almost 80 percent of gas stations had little to no fuel. That's according to the website GasBuddy, which tracks fuel availability. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has said the state is working to get more gas to hard-hit areas.
But drivers on Friday were still waiting in lines miles long just to fill up their tank. Police in Pasco County said their department received numerous calls for fights at gas stations in the area. They urged drivers to remain patient and respectful.
Jacqueline Diaz, NPR News, Sarasota. Vice President Kamala Harris released a medical report today. Her physician said that the 59-year-old is in excellent health and has the physical and mental resiliency required to successfully execute the duties of the presidency.
Donald Trump has not released any information on his health since last year. At 78, he's the oldest person to run for president. Trump campaigned in Reno, Nevada last night, one of the swing states that may decide the election next month. He claimed he's attracting the support of black men. My numbers with the black and especially black men, I love black men. I love them. I love them. I have gone through the roof with black men. Black men.
I don't do quite as well with black women, I must say. Trump is to appear this afternoon near Las Vegas at an event billed as an Hispanic roundtable. The contents of a two-year investigation into TikTok are now public because of a redaction error in court filings, an error made by the Kentucky Attorney General.
Sylvia Goodman with Kentucky Public Radio has more on the story. The internal TikTok communications put on full display that the social media company was aware of the child safety concerns associated with their app. One unnamed TikTok executive said that includes depriving them of opportunities like, quote, sleep and eating and moving around the room and looking at someone in the eyes.
After Kentucky Public Radio first published some of the redacted material, Kentucky's attorney general moved to seal the case, which a state judge allowed. A TikTok spokesperson said it was irresponsible of NPR to publish sealed information, which alleged that time-limiting tools TikTok rolled out were shown to be ineffective at reducing screen time by internal research. The company's executives claim such tools reduce harm for children regardless.
For NPR News, I'm Sylvia Goodman in Louisville, Kentucky. A bipartisan group of senators is now demanding TikTok provide it with documents. This is NPR News.
