Florida’s law targeting drag shows is on hold under federal judge’s order

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:43:38 GMT

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A federal judge on Friday temporarily blocked a new Florida law targeting drag shows that was championed by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis.U.S. District Judge Gregory Presnell granted a preliminary injunction stopping the law from being enforced until a trial is held to determine its constitutionality, and he denied a Florida licensing and regulatory agency’s request to dismiss it.The complaint was brought by the owner of a Hamburger Mary’s restaurant and bar in Orlando, which regularly hosts drag shows, including family-friendly performances on Sundays where children were invited to attend. The restaurant owner said it violated First Amendment rights by chilling speech, was written vaguely and was overbroad.An email seeking comment was sent to the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, which is the remaining defendant after the judge dismissed DeSantis and the state as defendants.

Unsettled…But Not Washed Out

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:43:38 GMT

If there is one thing I’ve learned through the years in broadcast meteorology, it’s learning how to properly get the message out. Case in point this weekend…for several days you’ve probably heard us bark about the unsettled weather pattern we are in and will be in for awhile. That’s still true this evening but here is where messaging is key….even within an unsettled pattern, you can still eek out a few nice days or in this case a few hours each day of nice weather.The reason for our messy weekend forecast is (yet another) area of Low Pressure taking aim on the Northeast…This Low Pressure will weaken but also crawl through New York and New England over the next few days and with that red L close to us, that’s why the chance of rain is present each day.That may or may not imply a washout but I can assure you, it’s not. Take a closer look at each day…Not exactly a stretch of weather to tweet or tik-tok about but take note in t...

Yankees Notebook: DJ LeMahieu still searching for answers, Josh Donaldson gets a day off

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:43:38 GMT

DJ LeMahieu showed a side of himself that rarely comes out as his prolonged slump continued Thursday night.Usually calm and collected, the infielder fired his helmet down the tunnel that connects the Yankees’ dugout and their clubhouse. Clearly disgusted with a third-inning strikeout that saw him drop to his back knee, LeMahieu then chucked his lumber into the bat rack.“We’re playing for a lot, man,” Aaron Boone said of LeMahieu’s uncommon outburst after a 10-2 loss to the Mariners. “These guys have a lot of pride and have done it for a long time at a high level. And when you go through some struggles for an extended period, guys are angry. That’s part of it. Am I worried? No, he’s as tough as they come mentally, physically. We got to just continue to work alongside him and try and unlock him.”LeMahieu, thrust back into the leadoff spot after two days on the bench, went 0-for-4 on Thursday with two strikeouts. He is now hitting ....
