At the end of his 2001 music video “I’m a Thug,” South Florida rapper Trick Daddy brings fried chicken into a fine-dining restaurant and provocatively tosses a drumstick into a rich woman’s wine glass. Almost a quarter-century later, Trick Daddy is still tossing wings — along with ribs and cornish hens — except this time it’s into ovens and deep fryers at his new Fort Lauderdale sit-down, Sunday’s Eatery. That’s because the platinum-selling rapper, long considered an... Read More

GAINESVILLE — Florida quarterback DJ Lagway’s last public appearance in the Swamp was ceremonial and somewhat confusing. Limited by an ailing right shoulder, Lagway handled the opening snap of April 12 spring game, handed off the ball and then exited the game — a process he’d repeat to open several series without making a pass. Casual fans were reminded Lagway was injured, if they were even aware. Ardent fans were left to speculate on the future of the Freshman All-American, who... Read More

By PAUL WISEMAN, Associated Press Economics Writer WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. economy rebounded this spring from a first-quarter downturn caused by fallout from President Donald Trump’s trade wars. In an upgrade from its first estimate, the Commerce Department said Thursday that U.S. gross domestic product — the nation’s output of goods and services — expanded at a 3.3% annual pace from April through June after shrinking 0.5% in the first three months of 2025. The department had... Read More

Nancy Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, that she would do everything in her power to end the shame, pain, fear and hopelessness of breast cancer.

The day after President Trump announced he would lead a movement to get rid of mail-in ballots, I was at a senior living facility with the League of Women Voters. We were there to help seniors request vote-by-mail ballots in upcoming elections. Even before we set up our table, we were bombarded with questions about the president’s announcement. Is their vote being taken away? Will their vote-by-mail request be honored? They were truly terrified they would no longer be able to vote because... Read More

Fort Lauderdale will not bow down to the state’s demand that it remove four street art designs — including a rainbow-colored pride flag painted on a street near the beach. Before a packed house, commissioners voted unanimously Wednesday night to appeal the state’s order to remove the pavement art by Sept. 4 or risk the state removing it. Mayor Dean Trantalis warned of what might happen if the city were to back down to the state on what he called a draconian order. “You have to ask,... Read More
