It's so exciting watching the rest of the country get introduced to the Randy Fine we've known and loved in the Florida Legislature. Truly the sort of sober-minded, judicious lawmaker we need. www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/05/22/r...

Despite 10 years of Catholic school, I'm as lapsed as a Catholic can be, but even I was a little taken aback by a headline on papal betting odds. Like, WWJD? Pretty sure take up a lash and run these guys out of town. www.forbes.com/sites/conorm...

Also shows how awful the state law restricting presidential searches from public records has been for the state. Just a few years ago, those other finalists would never have been able to make a demand that they be the lone known finalist; their initial applications would have been public records.

So much of what we publish in the @sun-sentinel.com Opinion section is serious and weighty given it's about current events. So it's great to publish a 100-year-old Jewish West Palm Beach resident's recollections of the day he learned he could stop bombing Nazis. www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/05/07/m...

The 100-days benchmark was established almost a century ago in the first term of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who worked with Congress to project leadership and inspire confidence. Trump has done the opposite on every point. Our editorial (gift link): www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/05/06/a...

Saying you're against due process is saying you are for the extrajudicial punishment of those you have accused of crimes. It's people whom he says are illegal immigrants now. What's it going to be later?

Just to follow up on this, today Gov. Ron DeSantis said the Republican winner of FL-6 is a repellent human being. That's how much no one likes that dude www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/04/02/d...

I think it's something of a mistake to nationalize this race too much. The GOP candidate in FL-6 is not well liked on his own terms. He called a school board member a "whore." He threatened to defund the Special Olympics -- the SPECIAL OLYMPICS ffs.

Reading a lot of people tearing their hair out over the GOP candidate winning in FL-6, which has something like 270k registered Republicans and 140k registered Democrats. Not sure what people expected would happen.

The Trump administration is ignoring court orders on the flimsiest of excuses while taking apart the government piece by piece. Surrender ought not be an option, and yet it is the option many Democratic leaders have chosen. Our editorial (gift link): www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/03/19/a...
