Mayday! Mayday! As of midnight on May 1, Florida’s dangerous new six-week abortion ban is the law — effectively banning all abortion care in our state and causing doctors, patients and freedom-loving Floridians everywhere to elevate our calls for the passage of Amendment 4 so that we may enshrine abortion rights in the Florida Constitution.
Exactly one month ago, the Florida Supreme Court issued dueling opinions to take Florida one major step forward and one cataclysmic step back in the fight for reproductive freedom.

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Democrats will vote to save Republican Speaker Mike Johnson’s job should some of his fellow Republican lawmakers seek to remove him from the position, Democratic leaders said Tuesday, likely assuring for now that Johnson will avoid being ousted from office like his predecessor, former Rep.
There’s one thing we know for sure about the 2024 Miami Dolphins, and that’s that they won’t be as talented as the 2023 Miami Dolphins.
A lot of talent walked out the door this offseason.
But this year’s Dolphins could be better than last year’s Dolphins if they use their talent differently.
We’re talking about philosophical change.
We could even use the term “philosophical tweak” in the case of the Dolphins’ offense.
The offense, which finished No 1 in the league, is good.
Changes aren’t necessarily needed.
But the offense needs to be better in a few ways.
Miami’s offense is way too reliant on passing to All Pro wide receiver Tyreek Hill and fellow speedy wide receiver Jaylen Waddle.
The offense needs to approach situations differently.
Here’s one thought that hints at exciting potential change: Does the acquisition of rookie running back Jaylen Wright, the fourth-round pick from Tennessee, mean coach Mike McDaniel will consciously commit to not abandoning the run?
That’d be using your talent differently.
The Dolphins will have a stable of at least five running backs, including Wright, in training camp, led by a Pro Bowl selection (Raheem Mostert), a player who established an NFL rookie record of 7.8 yards per carry last season (De’Von Achane), a slashing veteran (Jeff Wilson Jr.), and a young power back (Chris Brooks).
In just two months of fighting in Gaza, Israel launched more drone strikes on Toyotas than the United States did in four years of the American Civil War.
Accurate? Yes. Meaningless? Of course.
The same, and worse, could be said about comparative statistics the Wall Street Journal put before its readers. Last December, reporters Jared Malsin and Saeed Shah contrasted Gaza with Iraq as follows:

NEW YORK (AP) — Dozens of protesters took over a building at Columbia University in New York early Tuesday, barricading entrances and unfurling a Palestinian flag from a window in the latest escalation of demonstrations against the Israel-Hamas war on college campuses nationwide.
The South Florida Sun Sentinel and seven other newspapers sued Microsoft and OpenAI on Tuesday, claiming the technology giants illegally harvested millions of copyrighted articles to create their cutting-edge “generative” artificial intelligence products including OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Microsoft’s Copilot.
While the newspapers’ publishers have spent billions of dollars to send “real people to real places to report on real events in the real world,” the two tech firms are “purloining” the papers’ reporting without compensation “to create products that provide news and information plagiarized and stolen,” according to the lawsuit in federal court.
“We can’t allow OpenAI and Microsoft to expand the Big Tech playbook of stealing our work to build their own businesses at our expense,” said Frank Pine, executive editor of MediaNews Group and Tribune Publishing, which own seven of the newspapers.
