Five people are dead and five more were injured after an Amazon Prime cargo plane overran a runway at the Miami International Airport on Sunday and hit vehicles, Miami-Dade Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz said during a press conference. President Donald Trump spent much of Sunday evening sharing apparently AI-generated images and memes on Truth Social, including one suggesting New Mexico should be renamed "New America" and another declaring, "The Moon Is Ours." The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party more than doubled its share of the vote in a state election in the west of the country, underscoring its national popularity outside its eastern heartlands.

Hello, I'm Shane Croucher. Welcome to Newsweek's Bulletin. Here's what you need to know today. Five people are dead and five more were injured after an Amazon Prime cargo plane over on a runway at the Miami International Airport and hit vehicles on Sunday. The agency said the Boeing 767-300 aircraft had departed from Luis Munoz Marine International Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico. More than 60 local Miami fire units responded to the crash. The crews arrived to find the plane on fire and worked to extinguish the flames and assess patients. The National Transportation Safety Board said it was gathering information about the crash. Germany's far-right alternative for Germany party more than doubled its vote share in a western state election, according to the preliminary count. The AFD 143.8% of the vote in Saxony and Holt, securing 39 of the state parliament's 83 seats. That leaves it three seats short of the 42 needed for an outright majority. The party's path to power remains blocked by Germany's so-called firewall under which mainstream parties refused to enter coalitions with the far-right. The result is a major setback for Chancellor Friedrich Mertz's conservative CDU, which took just 17.2% of the vote and 15 seats. President Donald Trump suggested renaming New Mexico New America in a recent truth social post. The post showed a mock-up of a New Mexico state map with Mexico crossed out and replaced by America. Trump describes New America as a much more prestigious and beautiful name for the state. New Mexico Governor Michelle Luan Grisham, a Democrat, responded to the president's post on Instagram, writing, "New Mexico's name isn 't up for debate." Until next time, that's all for now.
