					<description><![CDATA[The Miami Herald columnist Leonard Pitts wrote a powerful case for Donald Trump&#8216;s impeachment, in the style of an open letter to the &#8220;Dear Republicans in Congress,&#8221; that I was reading to my wife as she prepared breakfast the other morning. At the part where Pitts asked, &#8220;Have you no loyalties deeper than party?&#8221; Ivy broke in. &#8220;The money,&#8221; she exclaimed. That nailed it. It is always about the money. It&#8217;s about the campaign money they expect to continue bagging&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Florida’s Republican Party has governed Florida for less than a third of the past 150 years. After the Civil War, a coalition of newly enfranchised blacks, a small number of native white Republicans and northern carpetbaggers dominated Florida politics from 1865 to around 1885. After the blacks were stripped of their voting rights at the end of Reconstruction, the Republican Party ceased to be a political force. By 1900, more than 90 percent of black voters were dropped from the&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[As long expected, Michelle Rehwinkel Vasilinda is pulling a reverse Charlie Crist. The former state representative for Tallahassee, who quit the Democratic Party and became an independent shortly before being term limited out of office last year, now has officially become a Republican. Rehwinkel Vasilinda, 56, officially announced the switch at the 2017 Leon GOP Lincoln Day Dinner held in Tallahassee Thursday night. “We are excited to welcome (her) into the Republican Party,&#8221; Leon County GOP chairman Evan Power said. &#8220;Her switch really shows how the&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Like comedy, politics is most often all about timing. No one knows this better than Will Weatherford, who at the age of 26 rocketed from obscure legislative aide to Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives because of unanticipated, but perfectly placed, events (more about which in a moment). Now, arguably, this once-rising star of the Republican Party has fallen victim to his breathtaking start. In short, two years after he surrendered the gavel as America’s youngest state House speaker,&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Donald Trump regularly warns his crowds to closely watch polling places to prevent Democrats from stealing the election. But his campaign has failed to enlist many to serve as official poll watchers in major population centers, according to spot checks by The Associated Press. In some key regions, Democratic monitors will far outnumber Republicans on Election Day. The Trump team seeks volunteers on his website to &#8220;Help Me Stop Crooked Hillary From Rigging This Election.&#8221; But it&#8217;s unclear what the&#8230;]]></description>

If Jaguars fans can survive the Gus Bradley era, America can do 14 days of this. Also of note: 18 days until FSU basketball tips off. So here are some notes on the first day of in-person early voting: Frankly, for fans of the home team, it&#8217;s all good news. Democrats entered the day down after about two weeks&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Florida Supreme Court Justice James Perry announced Monday he is stepping down Dec. 30, which will give Gov. Rick Scott his first opportunity to begin reshaping a court that has frustrated Republicans on issues ranging from political maps to protecting doctors from lawsuits. Perry, 72, is forced to leave the court because he&#8217;s reached the mandatory retirement age. Scott will almost certainly appoint a more conservative justice to replace him, though he didn&#8217;t give details about what he will look&#8230;]]></description>
