WASHINGTON — Roendy Granillo was installing floorboards in a Melissa home that had no air conditioning when he began to feel sick. It was 97 degrees that day, but his boss refused to let him take a break and hydrate, his family says.

He kept working until he collapsed. Hours later, he died of heat stroke. He was 25.

“His organs were cooked from the inside,” his sister Jasmine Granillo, said Tuesday at the U.S. Capitol, as Rep. Greg Casar, an Austin Democrat, began a one-day “thirst strike” to

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump meets the constitutional requirements to become president — he’s a natural-born U.S. citizen over age 35 who’s been living in the country for at least 14 years.

“We hear from the business community that allowing this surcharge to lapse will mean more money for them to create jobs, to invest in new and more efficient equipment, to lower costs to consumers, and to be ab

It’s impossible to predict how many trials these suspensions will affect, said Pete McAleer, a spokesperson for the Administrative Office of the Courts. While many trials will face indefinite delays, the courts will still address applications for child support, custody and visitation, McAleer said.

When Pete Pullen stumbled across three baby wild hogs on a patch of land near his home, he knew he had to back away immediately. The piglets were harmless, but he was sure their mother was nearby.

“If you get between a mother and her babies, you get attacked,” Pullen, 77, said. “And I can’t run as fast as I used to.”

Pullen was used to seeing wild hogs outside his home in Sun City Center, an expansive retirement community in Hillsborough County covering about eight square miles. The hogs hang
