A year ago, we announced the formation of the Sun Sentinel Guild. Since we received a unanimous vote to unionize, we’ve been fighting for better pay and better conditions for our journalists. We look forward to representing the Sun Sentinel’s journalists for years to come!

Our Sun Sentinel newsroom once had a staff of 350 people. We now have fewer than 50. Most of us have gone 14 years without a raise or cost of living increase. Today we started bargaining for a fair wage for all.

What’s happening in America today is something darker than a misinformation crisis, @cwarzel writes. It's a cultural assault on any person or institution that operates in reality.

We hear a lot about how a warming ocean in South Florida is hammering reefs and supercharging hurricanes. But the ocean is a big place with lots of potential impacts. In a new podcast w @WWNO’s Sea Change, I took a look at another - mahi, one of Florida’s most iconic fish.

You may recall that Rep. Amesty at one point sued the newspaper, claiming the stories that led to these charges unfairly maligned her. She dropped that lawsuit.

This is pure piracy at the University of Florida from @BenSasse: a $1m golden parachute after he doled out over-inflated salaries to Republican allies —who didn’t even live in state— & threw a fat contract to his old consulting company @McKinsey https://t.co/xvxMMF3XMb

His amended contract will continue to pay him at his base president’s salary until 2028 or until he finds a new job.

Reports of @UF's exorbitant spending by Ben Sasse’s office are concerning. As my agency can investigate fraud, waste and abuse, @FLDFS will reach out to @FLBOG to offer auditing support. BOG should investigate this issue to ensure tuition and tax dollars are being properly used.
