A series of far-right social media pages and groups have been reported to law enforcement for doxxing Brenda Snipes and Susan Bucher, the supervisors of elections in Broward and Palm Beach Counties, respectively. According to redacted screenshots obtained by New Times, at least one of the posts doxxing Snipes…
Most of what President Donald J. Trump says is drivel. He gets mad online to impress what appears to be an army of online Twitter robots. His tweets and public statements are almost never worth writing about. That is, except for today, because Trump’s latest confused, old-guy meltdown is objectively hilarious.
Stephen Bittel, a real-estate billionaire who enjoyed a short reign as head of the Florida Democratic Party before resigning in disgrace last fall, sexually harassed a female employee by describing his sexual partners’ pubic hair, detailing his pornography preferences, offering to take her shopping for lingerie, and touching her toes on his private jet, according to a new complaint filed in Miami-Dade Circuit Court.

A frequently cited study from 2002 says if Florida had allowed felons to vote, Al Gore might have defeated George W. Bush in the 2000 presidential election. At the time, 827,000 people in Florida had lost the right to vote due to felony convictions. The study’s authors theorized that nearly 70 percent would have voted as Democrats, thus potentially changing the course of history.

Scott, as governor, displayed nothing but bitterness and resentment toward the poor and needy in his state. Low-income people’s…

In April 2017, Lewis Bennett and Isabella Hellman, two dual British and Australian citizens, set sail on a yacht from St. Maarten to South Florida. According to federal prosecutors, they made a pit stop in Cuba weeks later, on May 14, 2017. But by the next morning, U.S. Coast Guard agents found Bennett floating…
