The Frontline Focus
My interest in the global political landscape was sparked by the 2024 Presidential Election, which deepened my appreciation for political coverage. Since then, I’ve been committed to analyzing the current administration’s actions both nationally and internationally. This work is presented through The Frontline Focus.

Florida’s HB 3 restricts social media access for minors, banning accounts for children under 13 and requiring parental consent for 14- and 15-year-olds, aiming to protect them from harmful content. While supporters see it as a safeguard for mental health, critics argue it infringes on First Amendment rights and raises privacy concerns.
“Florida Seante Approves Trooper’s Law”

Senate Bill 150, or “Trooper’s Law,” aims to impose stricter penalties on those who abandon animals during natural disasters. The bill follows the case of a dog named Trooper, who was abandoned during Hurricane Milton, prompting calls for harsher laws to protect animals during such crises.

Senator Gayle Harrell introduced SB 80 to prevent recreational and lodging developments in Florida’s state parks. The bill, driven by public opposition, ensures stricter environmental reviews and greater public involvement.

“Does my vote really matter?”

“Do celebrity endorsement make a difference?”

Taylor Swift’s recent endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris highlights the powerful influence celebrities can have on political engagement, especially among young voters. While some believe fans may be swayed by her support, others stress the importance of making informed decisions beyond celebrity influence.
“Should food critics have the final say?”

Food critics like Keith Lee have gained major influence on social media, with their reviews significantly impacting restaurants, both positively and negatively.
