General Daily Insight for May 30, 2025 Separating the signal from the noise could be a challenge today.

An official report outlining potential ethics violations by U.S. Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick said there was probable cause to believe that she “accepted campaign contributions linked to an official action.” If proven, the allegation contained in a document released Thursday by the House Ethics Committee could be a violation of House rules, standards of conduct and federal law.

RALEIGH, N.C. — By Thursday morning, Bill Zito had long moved on, just as they all had. Another Stanley Cup Final awaited, another championship beckoned, and the Florida Panthers general manager stood on the third floor of the team’s hotel celebrating the previous night’s clinching win against Carolina by not celebrating it one bit. “Remember when we came in here, we hadn’t won in, what, 20 years?” he said of being hired in 2020. Twenty-five years the Panthers had gone without a... Read More

When Le Tub Saloon first opened on Christmas Eve 1975, toilet seats on the front lawn encouraged diners to “seat yourself.” Beside these sat dented license plates, rusty anchors and a driftwood sign discouraging any noisy kids, infants, hat wearers, and anyone under 22 from entering — a sign that stayed up until the city of Hollywood, a decade later, asked founder Russell Kohuth to take it down. For as long as hungry birds have swooped from the saloon’s leafy branches to stalk... Read More

Pickleball by day and concerts by night. Fort Lauderdale’s popular Holiday Park just about has it all as far as parks go. But it’s still missing one key amenity: A big 1,000-space parking garage. And that’s a problem, city officials say. The 93-acre park is bringing in big crowds these days, thanks to the Florida Panthers’ new Baptist Health IcePlex along with The Parker and War Memorial Auditorium. But people in search of parking wind up heading to unpaved grassy lots that turn... Read More
