In a 5-to-4 vote, the Supreme Court says all states must provide marriage licenses between two people of the same sex, and all states must recognize same-sex marriages.

Florida has allowed same-sex marriages since January. But what happens now for the politicians in Florida who have opposed same-sex marriage, such as Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi? Will this be an issue in presidential campaigns?

We'll talk with Steve Rothaus, who covers equality issues for the Miami Herald; Nancy Klingener, WLRN Florida Keys reporter; and Stratton Pollitzer, founder of Equality Florida.

Another SCOTUS decision upheld Obamacare tax subsidies for millions in Florida. We'll talk with Health News Florida editor Mary Shedden and Miami Herald health care reporter Chabeli Herrera about what this means for Floridians' health coverage.

Broward County is going up against ride-sharing service Uber -- the county's taking the company to court. Sun Sentinel reporter Brittany Wallman joins us to explain the conflict.

And following the state Legislature's passing of a budget for the next fiscal year, Governor Rick Scott took out his veto pen, turning down a record $461 million in programs.
