President Trump is marking the one-year anniversary of winning a second term in the White House. While in Miami to discuss his economic agenda, Trump boasted once again that America is "the hottest country in the world" because of his policies. He said the U.S. is getting 21-trillion-dollars of investments this year, largely due to his tariffs.        The death toll is feared to grow after a UPS plane crash in Louisville last night. Officials say so far, at least nine people are dead and nearly a dozen are hurt following the crash. Today, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear said the cargo plane burst into flames because it was just taking off for Hawaii and was holding thousands of gallons of fuel.        Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani says his win represents a new era of government. The New York City mayor-elect told reporters that he's building a city hall that will deliver on the promises of his mayoral campaign. He announced some officials he's tapping for his transition team and, perhaps future cabinet.        Two New Jersey men have been arrested in connection to a terror attack plot near Detroit. According to multiple reports, Tomas Kaan Jimenez-Guzal and Milo Sedarat were taken into custody. Sedarat is the son of Iranian-American poet Roger Sedarat. Authorities said the plot was meant to copy an ISIS attack in Paris in 2015.        Instagram is being hit with a cease and desist letter over using PG-13 to describe its new teen accounts. The Motion Picture Association reportedly sent the letter to Instagram's parent company Meta over the use of the rating. It said the claims the new setting is "guided by" the PG-13 rating are "literally false and highly misleading."        The Mega Millions jackpot is now up to 843-million dollars. There was no grand prize winner in Tuesday night's big drawing so the next chance to strike it rich will come around on Friday. Ahead of that however, there is a Powerball drawing.
