Only hours after a judge said the election in #Miami must go on, Xavier Suarez said he's going to run for mayor. He also said he would file today at 10 a.m. But isn't this going against his hijito, @FrancisSuarez, who wants the election postponed? politicalcortadito.com/2025/07/22/for…

On Thursday's agenda for the #Miami city commission meeting: the approval of $1.3 million to pay off the legal bills for former commissioner @alexDLPmiami to defend against the bribery and money laundering charges from 2023, dropped last year politicalcortadito.com/2025/07/21/mia…

Nananina, said the judge to the city of #Miami and wannabe dictators who stole a bonus year in office without taking it to voters, as they are required to do. City is appealing, por supuesto. But this is a huge win for residents thanks to @Emilioformiami politicalcortadito.com/2025/07/21/jud…

How long till @Damianpardo8 puts up another “explainer” video?

This is comically/cynically disingenuous: Eileen Higgins has been MISSING IN ACTION from this fight — and now all of a sudden she’s FUNDRAISING off Emilio Gonzalez’s court victory! Shame on her political grifter campaign consultant Christian Ulvert for exploiting another…

And disabled and/or elderly people still won't have equal access to @IRideMDT or most of the municipal trolleys, but the paratransit contractor that isn't required to bid on their contracts or provide contracted services will still get paid. BCC donations continued last quarter.

Your abuelito might not get his meals on wheels, but FIFA is still getting their $46 million, because priorities, people. #MiamiDade politicalcortadito.com/2025/07/19/fac…

¡Chancletazo! to @JoeCarolloNow, who lost his appeal of that First Amendment judgement against him in 2023. Read the three-judge panel's ruling in #PoliticalCortadito politicalcortadito.com/2025/07/18/mia…

Everyone should read #MaureneComey's letter to her colleagues in its entirety. So here it is: msnbc.com/top-stories/la… #TrumpEpsteinCoverup #TrumpIsATyrant

It seems that the DeSantis administration just pulled more than a dozen contracts tied to the Everglades Immigration Detention facility from a public database of state contracts. These contracts total more than $200 million in taxpayer spending, and they are public records.

Commish Regalado’s 51st birthday came the same day as the meeting with the messy incinerator debate. At the end of the meeting, she was presented with a Dumpster Fire cake.

And in #CoralGables, Mayor @Vince_Lago poured his PAC money (from a lot of developers and lobbyists) into the campaign to elect Richard Lara. They spent $173 per vote, compared to $5.50 paid per vote by Tom Wells, who self funded. politicalcortadito.com/2025/07/16/cor…

In #Miami, the mayor and Commissioner @JoeCarolloNow poured $1.6 million into getting @ralphrosado305 elected. The price of each of his votes comes out to $709. politicalcortadito.com/2025/07/16/fra…

#BREAKING: Florida GOP VIPs including Miami State Sen. @IleanaGarciaUSA will be subpoenaed to testify in accused serial sex pest and Republican State Rep. Fabian Basabe’s sexual harassment civil case filed by his former male staffers, according to court documents… #BecauseMiami

Florida lawmakers just filed a lawsuit after illegal denial of oversight visit to the Everglades detention camp 👇

At #Miami commission meeting, city mgr @Artnoriega5 gives a goodbye speech for CFO Larry Spring, who Ladra reported is going into the private sector. But is it really goodbye? Noriega said "maybe." Because apparently Spring will still be around City Hall in some capacity.

Highway ads against ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ went dark for a day. Who is to blame? miamiherald.com/news/local/imm…

This kinda flew under the radar... but remember those lifetime term limits in #Miami being championed by @Damianpardo8? Well, apparently the definition of "lifetime" is relative. Loophole excludes, drum role, @JoeCarolloNow and X. Meeting has started. politicalcortadito.com/2025/07/10/bai…
