Hundreds of thousands of protesters flooded the streets of Washington Saturday afternoon, protesting Donald Trump the day after he was inaugurated president of  the United States. 

Jon Steverson, secretary of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection since December 2014, resigned his position Friday, effective Feb. 3.

There was uncertainty in the air this week in Washington, but things were settling down a bit in Florida.

With the transition between President Barack Obama and President Donald Trump in full swing, and Democratic members of Congress staying away from Trump's inauguration by the dozen, the nation's capital was in a state of flux.

It's a new day in America: Donald Trump is now the president of the United States. 

President-elect Donald Trump waited only about two weeks after he was elected president to unveil his plans for his first 100 days in office, including proposals related to immigration, trade deals and defense policy.

Boycotting Donald Trump's inauguration might be all the rage among Democrats in Washington, D.C., but so far only three of Florida's 12 congressional Democrats have announced they'll skip the swearing-in of the 45th president.

Congressman Alcee Hastings, Congressman Darren Soto and Congresswoman Frederica Wilson won't be on hand when Trump takes the oath of office Friday. Dozens of Democratic members of Congress have announced they won't attend the ceremony after a blow-up between Trump and Congressman John Lewis, a Georgia Democrat and icon of the civil-rights movement.

Fewer than 24 hours remain until President-elect Donald Trump takes the oath of office, and Floridians in Washington are getting pumped for a new era in national politics.

On Wednesday, U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., was named as the top Democrat on the U.S. Senate’s Armed Service Committee’s new Cybersecurity Subcommittee.

A bill to shift the burden of proof in “Stand Your Ground” cases has found a House sponsor, sealing the deal for a sequel in the Florida Legislature this year.
