The Florida Teacher Who Turned “MAGA Meg’s” District Blue

Get your news from a source that’s not owned and controlled by oligarchs. Sign up for the free Mother Jones Daily. One of the many Democrats who flipped state House seats during the historic midterms was a public school teacher in Florida’s Palm Beach County. Elizabeth Holmes hadn’t even considered politics before 2026, and within months, she unseated Meg Weinberger, a Donald Trump–endorsed Republican known as “MAGA Meg” who had won the seat in 2024. Earlier this year, Weinberger sponsored legislation to rename the Palm Beach airport after the president, a project that cost $5.5 million. Holmes’ win there highlights how the MAGA movement is losing some of its power—even in the county Trump calls home.

WEST PALM BEACH, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — With her parents beside her, former Boca Raton Deputy Mayor Yvette Drucker took the oath Tuesday as Palm Beach County’s Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller. She is the first person of Hispanic descent to hold the office, which safeguards the county’s public records and taxpayer money. 15th Judicial Circuit Chief Judge Glenn Kelley swore her in at the 1916 Historic Courthouse. Drucker took office early. The seat opened after former Clerk Mike Caruso was arrested and charged with child sex crimes, as BocaNewsNow.com first reported . Chief Deputy Clerk Shannon Ramsey-Chessman ran the office on a temporary basis until Drucker won the election. Ramsey-Chessman did not run. Caruso stayed on the ballot and lost.

Drucker thanked voters and the office’s nearly 650 employees. “This campaign was never about the candidates.

This Florida Butcher Shop Sells 55-Day Dry-Aged Ribeyes And A5 Wagyu Worth A Detour

A ribeye that spends 55 days dry-aging before it ever meets your grill sounds like a dare. I’m happy to accept it. That cut sits in a butcher case in South Florida, right alongside A5 Japanese Wagyu. The same shop also carries 45-day dry-aged tomahawks, bone-in filets, and Wagyu hot dogs, which feels like a flex in the best way.

Florida Issued Four Stop-Sale Orders After 11.67 Inches of Rain Hit West Palm Beach. They Won’t Cover the Water Already in Your Tank

Florida agriculture inspectors had issued four stop-sale orders and visited 125 fuel facilities in seven counties by Nov. 5, after 11.67 inches of rain fell on West Palm Beach on Nov. 1-2, according to CBS12's reporting on figures from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. A stop-sale order shuts off a pump. It does nothing for the driver who filled up there the day before and is now holding a repair estimate, and water in gasoline is a hard thing to get anyone to pay for once it is in your tank.
