TALLAHASSEE — A three-judge federal panel Wednesday rejected a constitutional challenge to a congressional redistricting plan that Gov. Ron DeSantis pushed through the Legislature in 2022, saying opponents did not prove lawmakers acted with “racially discriminatory purpose.” The decision was the second time in less than four months that courts have upheld the map in cases focused on the overhaul of a North Florida district that in the past elected a Black Democrat. The state’s 1st District Court of Appeal on Dec. 1 backed the plan — a decision that has been appealed to the Florida Supreme Court. The...

Winderman’s view: Heat learn that sometimes we-have-enough isn’t enough

MIAMI — Observations and other notes of interest from Tuesday night’s 113-92 loss to the Golden State Warriors: – Basically this simple: The Warriors had weapons, the Heat didn’t. – Or at least not enough available. – It’s not that the Heat don’t, just that they weren’t in uniform. – Which kind of matters. – Not only again without Tyler Herro, Duncan Robinson and Kevin Love. – But this time without Jimmy Butler, as well, due to illness. – Not exactly how you want to go into it against Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, Draymond Green and the rest of the Warriors who showed up. – Patty...
