COMMENTARY Ron DeSantis doesn't let the Constitution stop him from conducting federal policy. Let's hope he'll tackle the source of illegal immigration.

We remember one of South Florida’s greatest leaders and pioneers, Carrie Meek. The gaming compact between Florida and the Seminole Tribe is in trouble. Plus, Miami's ban on scooters was short-lived.

The Seminole Tribe of Florida is appealing a federal judge's decision to block its deal with the state to expand gambling and online sports betting throughout Florida.

Gov. Ron DeSantis and Florida Republicans passed four COVID-related bills. What will these laws mean for you? Plus, airlines are preparing for one of the busiest holiday seasons ever. A local artist brings a giant lit-up Florida Panther to Miami. And, jai-alai is now a dying relic.

Governor DeSantis has officially filed to run for re-election next year. DeSantis submitted his paperwork last Friday seeking his second term.

We’re coming up on some very important elections next week. Why are there so few showing up to vote early? Some believe Governor DeSantis needs to win Florida in 2022 if he stands a chance to run for the White House in 2024.

Said Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis: “We want to make sure we're protecting people's jobs, protecting people's livelihoods. Tossing people aside is just not something that we can tolerate.”

Gov. DeSantis is calling on lawmakers to meet early to "strengthen" a statewide ban on vaccination and mask mandates, while Democrats decry the effort as "politically motivated."

New guidelines signed by the state's surgeon general modified the state's ban against school mask mandates, prompting a judge to dismiss a lawsuit against the old rule that had been filed.
