"While people don’t know if their loved ones will come home because they’ve been disappeared by ICE or if there will be accountability for the despicable things in the Epstein files or if they will be choosing between rent, healthcare, or food… some would suggest let’s just do politics as usual… THAT is the exact thinking that got us here," Crockett wrote in a Monday post on X. 

"Tomorrow is the first day of early voting, It’s time for the people to be heard, loudly & clearly!" she declared in the post.

If no candidate were to win a majority in a race, there would be primary runoff in May.

A popular rock structure in Italy known as the "Lovers’ Arch" collapsed on Valentine’s Day following days of poor weather. 

The natural formation, which was part of the Sant'Andrea sea stacks along southern Italy's Adriatic coast, was often used as a backdrop for tourist photos and wedding proposals, according to Reuters. 

"This is an unwanted Valentine's Day gift," Maurizio Cisternino, the mayor of the nearby town of Melendugno, was quoted as telling a local newspaper. 

Cisternino described the collapse as a "very hard blow" for the area after days of heavy rain, strong winds and rough seas.

"Nature has taken back what it created," Cisternino said. 

Photos taken at the scene showed a pile of rubble in an area where the arch used to soar over the water.

Officials are now warning that other parts of the rocky coastline are at risk of collapse, which cracks visible along the cliffs, Reuters reported.

The news agency also said that storms and heavy rains in recent days have damaged other parts of Italy’s coastline along the Ionian Sea, damaging beach structures and causing small cliff falls from Gallipoli to Ugento.
