A state proposal for widespread, unregulated roundups of foreign-origin aliens may improperly favor a private, for-profit Florida-based security firm with financial ties to Tom Homan, the Trump regime’s “border czar”.

The people of Florida drew a line in the sand—and they did it right in the heart of Lee County. Dozens of residents, advocates, parents, and elders turned out to the Lee County Civic Center in North Fort Myers for the first of only seven in-district public hearings on Florida Power & Light’s proposed $10 billion rate hike—the largest utility rate increase request in U.S. history.

They’ve walked out over masks—but not over kids being beaten and killed, or families being raided. Still think there are good cops?

On May 2, 2025, Governor Ron DeSantis signed House Bill 1205 into law—and with it, handed a loaded weapon to those who want to dismantle democracy in Florida.

In banning fluoride, DeSantis has traded evidence-based health care for extremist talking points. And once again, it’s the poorest and…

Handcuffed at the defense table, Rodney Hinton Jr. stood under the glare of courthouse lights as if on display. Uniformed officers surrounded him like an armored wall—dozens of deputies lining the walls of the courtroom behind him. Hinton’s face was tense and eyes downcast as the judge read the charges: aggravated murder for allegedly driving into and killing retired Deputy Sheriff Larry Henderson.

Trump claims these tariffs will bring back jobs and “restore reciprocity,” but economists warn they’re more likely to backfire. The Wharton School’s budget model projects Trump’s 2025 tariff regime will shrink U.S. GDP by about 6% and reduce wages by 5% in the long run (Wharton). Even the 10% universal tariff would raise roughly $5–6 trillion over 10 years, but the cost to a median U.S. household is a projected $22,000 lifetime loss.

What happened to Gage is disgusting. Those were my first thoughts upon seeing the now-viral video of 22-year-old Gage Towles being harassed on a Florida waterway. In the footage, a much older charter boat captain – later identified as Brock Horner – drives up aggressively, curses at the young fisherman over a petty dispute about boat lights, and even jumps onto Gage’s boat to confront him .

This citizen-led initiative aims to enshrine the right to clean and healthy waters directly into Florida’s Constitution. It would give the p

If Jesus of Nazareth showed up in America today—a brown-skinned, unhoused refugee preaching radical love and redistribution of wealth—you ca

They mean well. They usually vote the right way. Some even donate big when election season rolls around.
