The Army has recovered the remains of Spc. Mariyah Symone Collington, 19, the second U.S. soldier who went missing during an off-duty hike in Morocco after a military exercise. The remains of another soldier, 1st Lt. Kendrick Lamont Key Jr., were recovered last week. Both soldiers were reported missing May 2 after participating in African Lion exercises and are believed to have fallen from a coastal cliff, ending a challenging multinational search effort.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of former United States Congressman Bill Posey, who passed away yesterday surrounded by the love of his family. Bill dedicated his life to serving the people of Florida and our nation with integrity, humility, and an unwavering commitment to public service. His passing marks the end of a remarkable career that spanned decades of leadership at the local, state, and federal levels. He approached public office not as a path to personal recognition, but as a solemn responsibility to serve others honorably, faithfully, and effectively. His legacy will endure through the countless lives he touched, the communities he strengthened, and the values he championed throughout his years of service. Those who knew Bill personally understood that beyond the titles and accomplishments was a kind, grounded, and deeply loyal man who loved his family above all else. During this difficult time, our thoughts and prayers are with his wife and childhood sweetheart, Katie, and their two daughters, Cathi and Pamela. We also extend our heartfelt condolences to the entire Posey family, his friends, former staff members, and all who had the privilege of knowing and working alongside him. May they find comfort in the extraordinary impact of his life and service. Congressman Posey represented Florida in the United States House of Representatives from 2009 to 2025, following distinguished service in both the Florida House of Representatives and the Florida Senate. Throughout his career, he earned a reputation as a principled conservative, a steadfast advocate for fiscal responsibility and government transparency, and a tireless supporter of America’s space program and the communities he proudly represented along Florida’s Space Coast. Bill Posey will be remembered with gratitude, admiration, and profound respect. His dedication to public service, his love for Florida, and his steadfast belief in the promise of America will never be forgotten.

In coordination with our airline partners, we’re taking ACTION to bring relief to Spirit customers and its workforce. From capped ticket prices for flyers who need to rebook to employees looking for job opportunities, there’s a lot of information you should be aware of. Here’s the latest ⬇️ CAPPED TICKET PRICES United, Delta, JetBlue, & Southwest are all capping ticket prices specifically for Spirit customers who now need to rebook cancelled flights. To access these special prices, individuals will need to provide at a minimum a Spirit flight confirmation number and proof of payment. Please refer to each individual airlines website for additional specifics. REDUCED FARES For any consumers worried about higher prices, American Airlines and Delta Air Lines are offering reduced fares on high-volume Spirit routes. Allegiant has also committed to freezing fare prices across routes that overlap with Spirit. To support impacted travelers, Frontier is offering up to 50% off base fares across its network until May 10. EMPLOYEE SUPPORT Most major U.S. carriers are extending travel pass benefits and spare jump seats to Spirit pilots, flight attendants, and other employees who need to return home. They have also offered Spirit team members preferential employment interviews to ensure they jump the queue. Both American Airlines and United are creating microsites for Spirit employees looking to continue a career in aviation. Refresher on Compensation Rules: Per Spirit — the airline will automatically process refunds for any flight purchased through via credit card or debit card. Ticket holders can also: 1. Contact your credit card company: If you purchased your ticket with a credit card, you may be protected under the Fair Credit Billing Act. Contact your issuer to request a "chargeback" for services not rendered. 2. Check your travel insurance: If you have travel insurance, contact your provider to see if your policy covers “insolvency” or “service cessation.” 3. File a bankruptcy claim: You may file a formal "proof of claim" with the bankruptcy court. Please note that this process can take time and may only result in a partial refund.
