Like many, I'm going to miss Alex Trebek - the consummate host with an easy-going style that always kept the show lively and moving along. I feel fortunate to have a pretty kick-ass memento.

Political cronyism is so rampant and costly in Florida's university system that FAU is now paying one politically connected lawyer $925 an hour, and New College is spending $494,000 for each degree. Fiscal conservatism indeed. https://t.co/PnnwAEIjEW

All the receipts are here. This would be shameful ... if the people involved had any shame.

Remember when Pam Bondi invited a bunch of low-wattage MAGA scamfluencers to the White House to give them the Super Secret Totally Real Epic Epstein Files Volume I before flipping and leading the biggest government coverup since Watergate?

Orlando now ranks 49th out of 50 in wages. The only major metro with lower wages is Las Vegas. Two tourism towns in a battle for the bottom. A look at the hard numbers, raw data and the faces of the people who make this town run. https://t.co/rQFYqwsGoE

An open call for suggestions for this year's list of "101 Things to Love about Central Florida." And a look at something no one should like - Florida's attorney general once again pushing for secrecy. https://t.co/GMzm0s25xV

Fox finally weighs in with an angle it feels comfortable with.

And it's not just the MIA story on Fox. Notice the very different way the NYT and WSJ treat the story - both in terms of placement and the headlines they crafted to frame the story.

Some people don't understand why Americans see the world in such starkly different ways. Often times, their medium of choice presents the world through radically different lenses. 3 major news sites' home pages 3 hours after Epstein emails released:

Taxpayer subsidies to Visit Orlando tripled over the course of a decade to more than $105 million. Now, with questions about spending and accounting practices, Orange County officials say they want to crack down. That's way overdue. https://t.co/foE8HxNCYO

On Veterans Day and 9/11, we rightfully pause to honor those who served and sacrificed. But vets deserve support all year-round, especially those struggling. It is a moral failure for a country to abandon those who risked their lives to protect it. https://t.co/mO7MMoXjH0

A Democrat until just last year … after she ran as one to win her election.

Floridians are warning kids that they may have guns pulled on them - or even get shot - for pulling ring-and-run pranks. Several have already. The warnings are probably prudent in a state that has continuously emboldened those eager to open fire. https://t.co/MNwwy1iIVn

And if you're looking for inspiration, here's last year's reader-created list: https://t.co/xooMwhErgM

I need your ideas! I'm taking suggestions for this year's list of "101 Things to Love about Central Florida." What do you love most about greater Orlando? Special places or groups. Traditions and events. Festivals, restaurant dishes, cultural attractions, natural spaces and more.

Amidst concerns about homeowners shooting kids who ring their doorbells, there's more focus in Florida on urging kids to stop ringing doorbells than suggesting adults maybe not shoot kids. Probably prudent advice for kids in this state. https://t.co/3VHDyvXixy

The SNAP food crisis: How Central Floridians can help. Plus a look at public records about the governor's crosswalk crusade that the state continues to hide, the latest controversy involving Florida's A.G. and a campaign tactic that backfired in Orlando. https://t.co/6645OH3fOg

In “Schoolhouse Rock,” kids were told lawmakers write their own bills after citizens proposed good ideas. But in Florida, lobbyists often write the bills. For utility companies, MLB - and a sweetheart donor deal for $83 million for 4 acres of barren land. https://t.co/ARqTOOmnLK

An ICE agent is caught on tape threatening a deputy with deportation after the agent was stopped for a DUI. And a new report finds that undocumented workers died while working on state projects, even as the state's demonized them. This is ugly stuff. https://t.co/Yw2T2AGfVr

For years, school-choice proponents in Florida have defended Christian schools' right to use vouchers to discriminate against kids who are gay or have disabilities. But now that GOP lawmakers learned Muslim leaders run schools too, they have objections. https://t.co/ULPFfQQ0GA

Florida ICE agent - charged with Driving Under the Influence with his kids in the in the car - asks arresting deputy if he's Haitian, threatens to "run some checks" on him and have him deported if he's "not legit."
