House Speaker Paul Ryan is all aboard Team Trump, announcing he’ll be casting his vote for the billionaire businessman to be the country’s next president this November.

Florida will hold two license-free saltwater fishing weekends during the month of June, according to a press release from Gov. Rick Scott’s office released Thursday.

Wednesday marked the official start of the Atlantic Hurricane Season, and state officials are making sure Floridians are doing everything they can to be prepared for this year’s storm season.

Even if state regulators signed off on a popular type of card game years ago, that doesn't make the games legal, a Department of Business and Professional Regulation attorney told an administrative law judge on Wednesday.

The case involves Jacksonville Kennel Club, Inc. but could have wide-ranging implications for pari-mutuels throughout the state, most of which are hosting "designated-player" card games --- also known as "player-banked" card games. The games have eclipsed other poker games like Texas Hold 'Em among Florida gamblers, according to industry insiders.

Gov. Rick Scott wants immediate action to prepare for the Zika virus and is calling on President Barack Obama to prioritize items and funding to protect Floridians from Zika virus in time for Hurricane Season.

A blow to Florida, a blow to Donald Trump: The Professional Golf Association announced Wednesday the PGA Tour will leave the Trump National Doral Golf Course next year and re-establish the prestigious tournament in Mexico.

An astonished Trump said in a Fox News interview with Sean Hannity Tuesday night that he had just received the grim news.

"They're moving it to Mexico City, which, by the way, I hope they have kidnapping insurance," the presumptive Republican nominee added.

Even as the pressure builds on Marco Rubio to run for a second term in the U.S. Senate, the Florida Republican who briefly held that seat announced a debate in the final days of the GOP primary. 

Gambling regulators and a pari-mutuel operator at odds over the legality of popular card games, first authorized by the state more than four years ago, pitched their cases to an administrative law judge on Tuesday.

The issue involves "designated-player card games," also known as "player-banked card games," which include a hybrid of three-card poker and resemble casino-style card games but are played among gamblers instead of against the house.

State Rep. Charles McBurney has felt the wrath of the National Rifle Association’s fiery email blast sent out last week, and he’s working overtime to put the kibosh on any opposition that might hinder his chances at becoming a circuit judge.

Even as Donald Trump and the GOP Senate leadership urge him to run for a second term, Florida Republican Marco Rubio went to bat for the National Republican Senate Committee (NRSC) on Tuesday. 

During his campaign for Republican presidential nomination, Rubio insisted he would not run for another term in the Senate. But Republicans are increasingly nervous about losing control of the Senate in November as GOP senators in blue states--Mark Kirk of Illinois, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania--look vulnerable.
