A federal judge has thankfully put a temporary halt on President Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund to pay off his criminal supporters. The fund is a theft of taxpayer money, the largest graft in American history. Our editorial (gift link): www.sun-sentinel.com/2026/05/29/s...

As a Broward resident, I have learned that considering the Sun Sentinel's political endorsements makes you a better voter. You may not agree with them 100% of the time but at the very least, you'll have everything you need to cast a more informed vote.

Here in South Florida, we cried foul during Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick's 2021 campaign, well before the investigations. It's why we didn't endorse her. The worst part about her resignation is that it didn't come sooner. Our editorial (gift link): www.sun-sentinel.com/2026/04/22/a...

Campaign finance reform advocates in Montana think they've found an end-run around the Supreme Court's execrable Citizens United decision. If it holds up, Florida's state incorporation laws make it well-postitioned to follow suit. Our editorial (gift link): www.sun-sentinel.com/2026/04/15/t...

Between FAU and Michigan, how great is Dusty May?

A thought on last night's Democratic victories in Florida: One of the immediate concerns for Republicans is the special session on redistricting the Legislature is supposed to have in a month (Apr 20-24). No, the addition of a Democrat in the House and one in the Senate doesn't change the voting 1/1

The vote totals show Gregory took a huge lead in vote by mail, while the Republican easily won the election day total. What's the odds Trump cries fraud over this despite the fact that he voted by mail?

This is great advertising for the NYC taco joint. Also, like, I know the stereotype is that whites in America don't like spicy food, but remember that many of us are descendants of Irish, English and Germans for whom spicy food is merely the stuff of legend www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Our neck of the woods has had some national focus recently due to the victory of Democrat Andy Thomson in a Boca Raton mayoral race by five votes. It's being plugged as another part of the big blue wave sweeping the nation. It's not. Our editorial (gift link): www.sun-sentinel.com/2026/03/16/b...

Today is recount day in Boca Raton, and after a machine recount, mayoral candidate Andy Thomson is up by ONE (1) vote over Mike Liebelson out of more than 19,000 votes cast. Manual recount now underway, counting undervotes and overvotes, of which there are a couple hundred.

Crazy night here in Boca. This is with all precincts reporting but with 468 mail-in ballots still out countywide.

Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel? Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again. And they almost shot some kids in the process.

The best part? Now that the job market HAS flooded & tanked, the advice isn’t “oh hey maybe we were wrong & that whole humanities thing is actually MORE important in the face of AI,” it’s: YOU MUST ALL WORK IN THE TRADES! Ok yeah definitely that’ll fix it anything but reading books I guess

Propublica is one of the best journalistic outfits working in America today. Good on'em

Oh, so THAT'S how Elon knew Trump was in the Epstein files!

The Border Patrol should be at the border, not on the streets of American cities. And Congress should nix any funding for ICE's weaponry. If ICE agents believe an arrest will be dangerous, they should work with armed local law enforcement. Our editorial (Gift link):

Our editorial for tomorrow's @sun-sentinel.com, the one-year anniversary of Trump's inaguration reads in part: (1/x)

At the @sun-sentinel.com Editorial Board, we are on the side of good government. So we often disagree with the party that previously wanted to drown gov't in a bathtub and now wants it big enough to punish enemies and reward friends. But not always. A case in point in today's editorial (gift link):

ICE went from 10,000 agents to more than 22,000 in 2025 amid a massive hiring push that lowered the agency's professionalism. The killing in Minneapolis is the result. Our editorial (gift link):

The ceremony will feature light roadkill hors d’oeuvres, goblets of beef tallow, and a sewage plunge, and will include a memorial tribute to the parasitic worm that perished after eating a portion of his brain, but whose influence continues to be deeply felt.

Our competitors/colleagues at the @miamiherald.com posted an explosive investigation a few days ago showing the DeSantis administration misappropriated more than $35 million in state funds. Now, the Legislature must do its job, because DeSantis won't police himself. Our editorial (gift link):

Even I, a newspaper editorial board member, can't wait to see the opinion hot takes on these latest Trump "truths." "Donald Trump wants to execute his political enemies. Here's why that's bad" "Talking 2026: How six open Democratic congressional seats could play out" The options are incredible.

Lowering the amount of refugees taken in by America from 125,000 per year to 7,500, with most of those to be white South Africans, is in keeping with the president's lengthy history of racial bias. Our editorial (gift link): www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/11/12/t...

The exact number needed to overcome the filibuster, none of whom are up for election in 2026, and there are people who think this wasn't coordinated by leadership? C'mon, man.

George Santos may be a small fry, but he's part of a pattern. Other presidents have had controversial pardons, but nothing comes close to Trump's sordid string of pardons since freeing the Jan. 6 rioters on day 1 of his second term. Our editorial (gift link): www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/10/29/t...

Ya don't say, Chris! Golly gee whiz, we wouldn't want leaders who "offload resentment onto their enemies." That sure sounds bad. I'm glad you agree that we should stand against leaders who "offload resentment onto their enemies." Jesus, the projection with these people.

Our latest editorial responds to a bill filed in the Florida Legislature, and unfortunately has to state the obvious: Charlie Kirk's killing was an affront to freedom of speech, but the controversial right-wing figure shouldn't have streets named for him in college towns across Florida. Gift link:

Political violence disproportionately hurts people with less power, not people with more power. Political violence will disproportionately hurt people of color and women and LGBTQ people. It’s not fair, but that’s the way it works. Celebrating political violence means at best indifference to that.

nobody needs to hear this more than people who aren’t on here but: wait for a suspect and a motive

If you are in Florida and you do not follow. Jason Garcia's Seeking Rents substack, you absolutely should.
