James Fishback is emerging as a formidable Republican candidate, but his undisguised racist comments are deliberate, offensive, and beneath this state. I'm asking all candidates running for FL Governor to join me in condemning his statements. Let's all commit to a better vision for Florida.

What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

The East Wing of the White House — which Trump is demolishing as though it belongs to him — is 70,000 square feet. A football field is 56,000 square feet. Trump’s palatial ballroom will occupy 90,000 square feet. Enough said.
