Dolphins fans have to be asking themselves where this franchise went wrong. Not so much why the team is 0-7 this season — because it’s rather obvious that was the plan — but more so, how it’s come to this.
In September 2018, longtime WFOR-TV (CBS 4) anchor Michele Gillen sued her former employer in federal court for wrongful termination due to age and sex discrimination. Gillen, an Emmy Award-winning reporter in WFOR’s investigative unit, claimed her story ideas were routinely rejected and then given to younger reporters. And she said a co-worker — anchor and investigative reporter Jim DeFede — made disparaging remarks to her and about women in general.
Autumn rain flowed off Villa Paula’s rooftop balustrades, down the whitewashed columns, and across the colorful Cuban patio tiles. Two statues of Greek gods stood nearby, dripping amid pink bougainvilleas in the home’s garden.
With no remaining options, Lazaro Rodriguez could only beg Miami-Dade County Judge Andrew Hague for mercy. But his pleas were in vain. Hague was yelling at him now — in English, a language Rodriguez barely understood.
Lawmakers are scrambling to keep pace with the ever-changing landscape of the cannabis and hemp industries in Florida. As proponents of legalization lay the groundwork for a 2020 vote on adult use — more commonly known as recreational marijuana — officials are still trying to get a handle on the cannabis and hemp industries.
After receiving substantial blowback this morning, Miami Herald leadership backpedaled on a decision to exclude two of its journalists from an upcoming vote on whether to unionize employees in the Herald and El Nuevo Herald newsrooms.
When the Miami Dolphins face the Pittsburgh Steelers tonight, much airtime will likely be dedicated to the fact that the matchup marks be the first time Minkah Fitzpatrick, the Dolphins’ 2018 first-round pick, will face his former team since forcing a trade earlier this season.
In Miami’s fast-growing Venezuelan community, few things are worse than being known as an enchufado. It’s a scarlet letter worn by those believed to have enriched themselves through political connections to the regimes of Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro and the late Hugo Chávez.
Unsurprisingly, most public schools don’t teach children the full horrors — or even economic extent — of American slavery. That basic fact sparked the New York Times’ landmark “The 1619 Project” this year.
Snapchat apparently had a boner to pick with Dr. Michael Salzhauer, better known as Dr. Miami, a plastic surgeon who regularly broadcasts his procedures on the social media platform.
There is perhaps no better example of America’s two-tiered justice system than the national college-bribery scandal. While teens who get arrested for low-level drug charges often spend years behind bars and can’t get hired afterward, the wealthy actors, investors, and entrepreneurs caught up in the bribery case seem to be passing through the courts with slaps on their collective wrists.
State Sen. Joe Gruters — a man who wants to protect hate speech online and has a racist poster hanging in his government office — just can’t stop himself. After pushing through a ban on so-called sanctuary cities earlier this year, Gruters vowed to introduce even more anti-immigrant legislation during the upcoming legislative session. Now, the leader of Florida’s GOP wants to check the immigration status of every new employee in the state.
For the second time in one week, police were called to investigate a disturbance at a senior housing complex following a visit from Miami City Commission District 1 candidate Alex Diaz de la Portilla — this time over the alleged assault of an elderly woman.
Wednesday night, fans were introduced to the 2019-20 Miami Heat. There were T-shirt cannons, a pre-tip Justise Winslow speech, a new introduction video, and, uh, holy shit, like an entire roster of new-ish players who are apparently all going to win Rookie of the Year.
With three different petition drives hoping to bring recreational marijuana to Florida, legalization will most likely be on the 2020 ballot. To date, the frontrunning Make It Legal Florida initiative, backed by multistate cannabis companies that stand to gain billions, claims to have garnered more than 100,000 petition signatures since it began last month.
Moses Shumow had the office next to mine at Florida International University. A tenured professor and the driving force behind our digital program, he had a breadth and depth of knowledge about journalism education and FIU politics that was immensely helpful in my transition from an editor at the Los Angeles Times to the occasionally Byzantine world of academia.
When was the last time you stormed your parents’ bedroom in a fit of childish rage for not getting that thing you wanted? When you were a petulant little shit of a 6-year-old, maybe? So before diving into Rep. Matt Gaetz’s recent shenanigans, it’s worth noting he is 37 years old and, seemingly, a fully grown adult man.
Frank Rodriguez’s house has always been close to the Coral Way commercial corridor, which is perfectly fine with him. But now he’s fighting a preschool development that’s trying to move into his residential neighborhood.
After decades of futile “Just Say No” policies, Florida school districts are implementing medical marijuana guidelines for students who have medical marijuana cards and need to medicate during school hours.
Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle has had a rough few weeks. She’s likely about to face the toughest election opponent of her career in 2020. Last week, a scathing USA Today investigative report revealed her office seemed to be teaching its prosecutors when to avoid telling defendants they were arrested by cops with histories of lying.
A federal judge has dismissed complaints against a Florida Muslim advocacy group filed by Laura Loomer, the conservative conspiracy theorist with a history of Islamophobic comments who’s now running for Congress.
