Gov. Ron DeSantis talks during a press conference before signing legislation on Monday, May 15, 2023, at New College of Florida in Sarasota, Fla. DeSantis signed a bill that blocks public colleges from using federal or state funding on diversity programs, addressing a concern of conservatives ahead of the Republican governors expected presidential candidacy. The law, which DeSantis proposed earlier this year, comes as Republicans across the country target programs on diversity, equity and inclusion in higher education. (Douglas R.

FILE - People gather during a community vigil for the Half Moon Bay shootings in Half Moon Bay, Calif., on Friday, Jan. 27, 2023. Multiple people were killed in two related shootings at a mushroom farm and a trucking firm in a coastal community south of San Francisco. The U.S. is setting a record pace for mass killings in 2023, replaying the horror in a deadly loop roughly once a week so far this year. The bloodshed overall represents just a fraction of the deadly violence that occurs in the U.S. annually. (Gabrielle Lurie/San Francisco Chronicle via AP, File)
