"The NFL's use of the Rooney Rule violates Florida law by requiring race-based considerations in hiring," Uthmeier said in his video statement.

St. Augustine remains one of the most beautiful cities in Florida, offering a lively destination with tons of things to see, do, and explore.

"Who is making up these advanced courses, and are they truly equivalent, or are we just giving them an equivalent weight?" said Democratic state representative Felicia Simone Robinson. "Because if we are, and this is a course that we're just making up for Florida and it's not necessarily equivalent to the AP and IB courses, then we're putting our students at a disadvantage when they're trying to compete against other students in the United States."

The parasite, commonly called a New World Screwworm (NWS), lays hundreds of larvae in the wounds of animals and humans, which hatch within hours and consume their victim's tissue. These infestations can lead to deep, painful wounds that become infected and often result in death if left untreated. When screwworms became a major problem in the US, it cost the US $200 million - roughly $1.8 billion today - in livestock.

If they approve, we will open. If they don't, then we will stand by, and that's fine. I think it should be approved since I don't think they're where they need to be on detention space.

Last week, the Secretary of State's Office - which is run by a DeSantis appointee - issued a directive to the state's 67 county supervisors of elections that changed the process for signature verification. It gives instructions that several supervisors of elections said aren't backed up by state statute or case law established by previous court decisions. The directive included a final sentence that grabbed the attention of its recipients: "Please note that the Attorney General's Office is copied on this email."

AAM15 Management, Kelly's new owners, sent out the press release Tuesday, noting that the closed locations - in Naples, Pasadena, and Fort Myers, Florida - were managed by different owners.

When temperatures dip and daylight feels scarce, the promise of sunshine becomes hard to resist-especially when it doesn't come with a sky-high price tag. To identify the cheapest warm-weather destinations to visit this season, we partnered with the team at , which analyzed flight searches made between Sept. 1 and Dec. 4, 2025, for travel dates spanning Dec. 21, 2025, through Feb. 28, 2026, departing from U.S. airports. Airfare prices reflect round-trip, economy itineraries, while hotel rates are nightly averages based on standard, double-occupancy rooms. All prices are averages, subject to change.

In February, the Task Force Model was the least commonly used of the three, and only seven states had that type of agreement, ICE's data shows. As of Nov. 20, a total of 620 police agencies across 34 states have signed into a Task Force Model agreement. More than 300 of the agreements are in Florida alone, ICE's list shows, and about 3,100 people in Florida have been arrested under the 287(g) program, according to a database maintained by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

In late September, the Texas Supreme Court penned an order stating that the ABA shouldn't have the final say on whether law school alumni can sit for the Texas bar or be licensed. It has been that way for a while, but the ABA is now compromised what with its insistence on the importance of the rule of law. Florida feels similarly, but they're still trying to iron out the kinks of replacing the largely unproblematic accreditation role the ABA has played for decades. Florida Bar has coverage:

If you hap­pen to be a high school stu­dent in Flori­da who's eager to read A Clock­work Orange, that urge may turn out to be hard­er to sat­is­fy than you imag­ine. Antho­ny Burgess' har­row­ing, lin­guis­ti­cal­ly inven­tive nov­el of a grim near future has come out on top in PEN Amer­i­ca's lat­est rank­ing of banned books: that is, books removed or pre­vent­ed even from enter­ing pub­lic school libraries, most com­mon­ly in the state of Flori­da, with Texas and Ten­nessee as run­ners-up.

Known for a focus on efficiency that sets it apart from other grocery stores, speedy checkouts and fast cashiers, a twice as nice return policy (where you get a refund and a replacement for select Aldi brand food items), and the infamous "aisle of shame" (with its unique assortment of goods at deep discounts), Aldi has a devoted following among its customers.

If you've ever daydreamed about the best places to retire in the US, you're in good company.
