Florida signals rollback of childhood vaccine mandates in public schools

Florida officials published a rule to roll back four vaccine requirements for public school children, allowing attendance without immunizations for chickenpox, hepatitis B, Hib, and pneumococcal disease; the move, led by Surgeon General Ladapo and aligned with Governor DeSantis’ stance on vaccines, comes amid a broader post‑pandemic push among some Republicans to limit vaccine mandates, drawing criticism from public health advocates who warn it could weaken herd immunity.

Florida’s primary preview: GOP redistricting edge, DSA challenge, and ethics headlines

Florida’s Aug. 18 primaries unfold under newly drawn maps that Republicans say tilt four districts in their favor, while a DSA-backed challenge to centrist Rep. Jared Moskowitz heats up in the 25th. Incumbent Democrats face ethics probes or legal trouble in other districts, and the governor’s race features Byron Donalds leading polls with Trump endorsements amid a crowded field. The results could reinforce a GOP edge in November.

Moody’s Quiet Strategy Tests Florida’s Senate Bid

Florida Sen. Ashley Moody, appointed in 2025 to Rubio's seat, is running a restrained, low‑profile campaign that emphasizes governance over spectacle. While she has Trump’s endorsement and DeSantis backing, some Republicans worry her cautious style could dampen enthusiasm and hurt down‑ballot races in a year with national headwinds. Moody’s supporters point to her attorney general record—fighting the Biden administration, securing FEMA funding, and pushing regulatory changes—as proof she can deliver results; critics say the lack of unscripted moments and limited media visibility could hinder her top‑ticket appeal.

Florida marks a record two-execution day as DeSantis pushes death-penalty pace

Florida carried out its 11th execution of the year and set to execute a second inmate on the same day—the first time two inmates were put to death in one day—amid Gov. DeSantis’s aggressive push on capital punishment. The day featured James Duckett, who helped kill 11-year-old Teresa McAbee in 1987, and Dominick Occhicone, scheduled to die for a 1986 Pasco County family massacre; DNA testing was inconclusive and protests formed outside the prison as the state advances its record pace.

Funding gaps stall Trump-brand Palm Beach airport rebrand

Trump's plan to rename Palm Beach International Airport to DJT is facing funding and budgeting hurdles: Florida allocated only $2.75 million of the roughly $5.5 million needed, with the county unwilling to cover the rest, delaying full signage changes and prompting lawsuits; the rollout is proceeding in phases while digital updates occur, but many physical signs still bear the old name and questions linger about whether funds will be diverted from safety and other airport needs.

Florida Targets Dozens of Groups as Terrorist Organizations, Including CAIR, Muslim Brotherhood and Antifa

Gov. Ron DeSantis says Florida will use HB 1471 to identify and designate more than 90 groups as terrorist organizations, with final designations approved by the governor and Cabinet; the law bars public support and funding and imposes penalties for material support, while CAIR and civil liberties groups vow legal challenges, arguing the move undermines First Amendment rights.

Florida data-center boom hits a wall of local pushback

Florida’s push to attract hyperscale data centers is colliding with broad local opposition, leading to moratoriums in at least 20 counties, lawsuits and recalls, and regulatory scrutiny as residents raise concerns about water use, wetlands, noise and quality of life. Some developers are pausing large projects or downsizing and seeking compromises, while state leaders, including Gov. Ron DeSantis, push tighter rules, potentially shifting future data-center investments to other states and altering Florida’s AI-fueled growth strategy.
