"The landslide victories in Miami and Miami Beach did not happen by accident. They were the result of deliberate, sustained investment in municipal elections and year-round infrastructure." www.miamitimesonline.com/opinion/miam...
Miami and Miami Beach’s momentum wasn’t a blip. We built it.
A year ago, we were told the Democratic Party in Miami-Dade was finished. Instead of accepting that narrative, Miami-Dade Democrats did something different: we listened, we rebuilt, and we organized.

Rand Paul: "We've never in our past decided just to shoot smugglers who are unarmed without even proof they're smuggling anything. So I think this is a horrendous thing that should stop. I think it's illegal & immoral... the kids in the military - I'm not for sending them down there to die for oil"

Where is President Trump's $1,776 military bonus money coming from? Congress only approved $50 million for bonuses in the Big Beautiful Bill. Instead, the Pentagon is shifting $2.6 billion of the $2.9 billion in money approved for military housing assistance.

This has the votes to pass with bipartisan support, but Johnson is going to adjourn the House again to delay it as long as possible just like he did with Epstein.

Massie: Previous presidents told us to go to war over WMDs that did not exist. Now it's the same playbook. Except we're told that drugs are the WMDs. If it were about drugs, we'd bomb Mexico or China or Colombia. This is about oil and regime change.

A quite startling overperformance for Democrats in tonight's special election for a state Senate seat in Kentucky:
Democrat Gary Clemons won 72% to 25%.
He was defending a Dem-held seat where Kamala Harris beat Trump by 5% last year.
