Falling jet fuel prices have lowered the price of airfare. Hispanic residents and those with less than a high school education are less likely to have a source of routine health care, according to the nonprofit Rhode Island Foundation.

In Rhode Island, community health centers in 2022 served about 1 in 5 residents - more than twice the national average of 1 in 11 people, according to RIHCA. The community health centers known as federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) are the medical safety net of last resort, serving the uninsured, the underinsured and other vulnerable people.

Over the past day, I've been hearing lots of warplanes, booms of outgoing weaponry, air raid sirens on this side of the border. It says it struck a bunch of targets on the other side of this border overnight, including what it calls a Hezbollah military compound.

Now, Hicks was on vacation in Puerto Rico and was told a couple of days later, on Thursday, that Austin was in fact in the hospital. That's just one fun fact you'll find in this story.
