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.

There's a Pac-Man game on Google today? How'm I supposed to get any work done?!

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:

There are very few newspaper writers' names I put up there with Eli Saslow. Guy is just incredible. Here's a gift link to his latest for the NYT www.nytimes.com/2025/10/12/u...

Cost-cutting crusader and Florida Chief Financial Officer Blaise Ingoglia sent police to confront a septuagenarian critic who mailed him a postcard that read, "You lack values" — a move both un-American and not exactly cost-saving. Our editorial (gift link): www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/10/13/e...

The grand jury probe in Tallahassee into the Hope Florida scandal brings the state into uncharted waters. Attorney General James Uthmeier, who is neck deep in the scandal, ought to take a voluntary leave until his name is cleared. Our editorial (Gift link): www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/10/09/a...

Confused as to what a "sexual matador" is. Does this mean he actively eludes sex and eventually kills the mood entirely?

Trump's threats to take away broadcast licenses and jail protesters are threats to the very core of what makes the United States the free nation it is. Our editorial (gift link): www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/09/23/t...

Kinda weird to post this column to social media, but... Social media algorithms are siphoning people into radicalization, anorexia, depression and worse, writes columnist Pat Beall. Our government must confront the tech industry robber barons. Gift link: www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/09/19/s...

Two documentarians who created films on the polio vaccine and vaccine hesitancy write that our obligations to our fellow citizens outweigh the libertarian arguments put forth by anti-vaccine skeptics. Jonas Salk would have agreed. Gift link: www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/09/18/w...

In vowing retribution and further inflaming political rhetoric, the Trump administration takes all the wrong lessons from Charlie Kirk's death. Our editorial (gift link): www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/09/16/f...

The extrajudicial killing of alleged drug traffickers by the U.S. Navy on the orders of President Trump is yet another blow to the rule of law in our country. And there have been many since the 2024 election. Our editorial (gift link): www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/09/15/a...

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

Holy hell, @jezebeldotcom.bsky.social www.jezebel.com/we-paid-some...

As a fellow regular writer of articles, I sorta thought this was every evening on the Internet.

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

Headline on this one's gonna cause some heart attacks but let's just say it's "a modest proposal" (Side note: I love when we get satirical and/or comical Op-Eds, though I don't often run them because they're usually not too great. I liked this one.) www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/08/22/s...

It's like you're not even allowed to open extrajudicial internment camps anymore. What's the world coming to? www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

I've said it before, but one of the great joys of my job is editing @sun-sentinel.com columnist @pbeall.bsky.social. Here's a gift link to her latest, just out online and in print tomorrow: www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/08/14/i...

Welcoming Putin to our nation should have been a nonstarter. Trying to broker peace between Ukraine and Russia without Ukraine's presence is nonsensical. Demanding Ukraine hand over conquered territory to Russia is insanity. Our editorial (gift link): www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/08/12/n...

Federalizing some of the very police officers you sent your followers to assault and batter just a few years ago is some pretty amazing chutzpah.

This 9-year-old Trump tweet has certainly taken on new meaning. #TACO

It's so exciting watching the rest of the country get introduced to the Randy Fine we've known and loved in the Florida Legislature. Truly the sort of sober-minded, judicious lawmaker we need. www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/05/22/r...

A side note to yesterday's news that Gov. DeSantis signed a bill banning fluoride in tap water statewide: According to Florida Oral Health Alliance, Florida ranked 50th in the percentage of children receiving an annual dental visit in 2021. www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/05/15/d...

Trump's budget proposal cuts NOAA by 30%. For tomorrow's @sun-sentinel.com Opinion page, here's every living former director of the National Weather Service, covering the years 1988 to 2022, explaining why this is bad and Congress should not do this: Gift link: www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/05/13/a...

One of my basic rules of newsgathering: There is always a Florida connection. www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/p...

AP style having been long ago excommunicated for its lack of an oxford comma.

Despite 10 years of Catholic school, I'm as lapsed as a Catholic can be, but even I was a little taken aback by a headline on papal betting odds. Like, WWJD? Pretty sure take up a lash and run these guys out of town. www.forbes.com/sites/conorm...

Also shows how awful the state law restricting presidential searches from public records has been for the state. Just a few years ago, those other finalists would never have been able to make a demand that they be the lone known finalist; their initial applications would have been public records.

Cannot imagine the patience required for this.

He looks like he just noticed the camera, gasped, and then quickly swam out of frame 😆

Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo, who was pushing junk science from an official position way before RFK Jr. got the chance at HHS, is once again doing his best to make sure we all get sicker. Our editorial (gift link): www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/05/07/a...

So much of what we publish in the @sun-sentinel.com Opinion section is serious and weighty given it's about current events. So it's great to publish a 100-year-old Jewish West Palm Beach resident's recollections of the day he learned he could stop bombing Nazis. www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/05/07/m...

The 100-days benchmark was established almost a century ago in the first term of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who worked with Congress to project leadership and inspire confidence. Trump has done the opposite on every point. Our editorial (gift link): www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/05/06/a...

Saying you're against due process is saying you are for the extrajudicial punishment of those you have accused of crimes. It's people whom he says are illegal immigrants now. What's it going to be later?

From deporting American children to attacking judges and medical journals, the past week has given us far more evidence of the Trump administration's utter contempt for civil rights and the rule of law. Our editorial (gift link): www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/04/30/t...

Between that trophy and the Pope, they need to just lock JD Vance in a basement the next four years.

$10 million of a Medicaid provider's settlement with the state of Florida went directly to a nonprofit founded by First Lady Casey DeSantis. Even Gov. DeSantis' fellow Republicans in the Legislature have questions. Columnist Steve Bousquet (gift link): www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/04/11/h...
