Tallahassee (Fla.) Lincoln football coach Jimmie Tyson can’t help but marvel at the transformation of his four-star linebacker Raylen Wilson, a Michigan commit. Wilson was a 160-pound eighth grade “stick figure” when he first started working out with the Lincoln program. Now, at 213 pounds, he’s the Swiss Army knife of the team’s defense and a top-100 prospect in the 2023 recruiting class. “He’s had blazing speed, but over the last two years, he’s put on a whole lot of weight,” Tyson told MLive in a phone interview.

Battle rages over Florida Amendment to restore voting rights to felons
Amendment 4 to Florida's Constitution restored voting rights to as many as 1.4 million Floridians who had committed felonies.

Tyson, a named plaintiff in a lawsuit against the State of Florida, says the law amounts to an unconstitutional tax. He says he has raised over $23 million so far, which he estimates will clear the path for over 20,000 felons to vote.

Bernard Tyson, chairman and CEO of managed-care firm Kaiser Permanente, told CNBC on Monday that presidential hopeful Sen.

Warren said Friday her Medicare for All proposal would cost "just under" the estimated cost of the current system, which is $52 trillion over a decade.
