Trump Accidentally Spent $10K on Doral Portrait Because No One Else Wanted It
Over the summer, the New York state attorney general whacked President Donald Trump with a massive lawsuit for misusing funds from his charity, the Donald J. Trump Foundation. Among the allegations was a charge that Trump used $10,000 of foundation money to purchase a portrait of himself at a 2014 a children’s charity auction at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach. Internet sleuths later tracked down the painting hanging at the Trump National Doral Miami golf resort.
Video: Miami Cop Who Arrested Hannibal Buress Choked Man After Fireball Binge
Startling new footage shows Verne walking into the middle of the bar from the righ-thand side, speaking briefly with another man, then, for no discernible reason, walking up to another man he was not talking to, then choking him and slamming the back of the man’s head against a railing multiple times. Verne then places the man in a chokehold and appears to say something to the man with his face just inches away from the man he is choking. Then, bystanders intervene and Verne runs away.
It’s Time for the Dolphins to Move On From Ryan Tannehill
Ryan Tannehill has had 82 games to prove himself the right man for the job. He’s been asked to drop back and throw passes for the Miami Dolphins nearly 3,000 times. He’s seen general managers, head coaches, hundreds of players, and even the stadium he plays in and the logo…
Let Disenfranchised Floridians Vote After Paying Their Debt to Society
Florida is one of three states that permanently strips you of the right to vote if you’re convicted of a felony. But if you’ve served your sentence, should you be barred from the ballot box for the rest of your life? If you made a mistake or an error in judgment and paid for it, should you forfeit your say in what happens in your city or state or country forever? The answer is no. Which is why you should vote yes on Amendment 4.
Miami Cops Getting Busted on Federal Drug Charges Isn’t New
On Tuesday, three City of Miami Police officers were arrested on federal drug charges. The trio are accused of working as armed escorts for drug traffickers. At a press conference yesterday, U.S. Attorney Ariana Fajardo Orshan said the three had received tens of thousands of dollars in compensation. Kelvin Harris,…

Five Reasons the Miami Heat Is Better Off Without Jimmy Butler
We’re now more than a week into the NBA season, and Jimmy Butler still plays for the Minnesota Timberwolves. That was not expected. Butler was supposed to be in Miami by now, or at least anywhere but Minnesota, after he requested a trade a month ago. Just a couple of…
#WontBeErased: Under Miami’s Alex Acosta, Department of Labor May Roll Back Transgender Protections
This past Sunday, the New York Times published an explosive report outlining the Trump administration’s plans to create a new definition of sex. Under the proposal, gender would be limited to either male or female and defined as permanent from birth. According to the Times, the Department of Health and Human Services has asked four federal agencies, including the Department of Labor, to adopt the narrow definition.
Florida’s Amendment 11 Could Fix Bad Drug Sentences, Cut Down Prison Populations
In 2014, Florida lawmakers reversed their stance on mandatory minimum sentences for opioid offenses, but that means little for the thousands of Floridians like Powell who were sentenced before the law changed. If Amendment 11 passes, changes the Florida Legislature makes to criminal statutes would be retroactive, meaning a person who received a harsh mandatory minimum sentence when lawmakers were cracking down on things like opioid use would have a chance to get their sentence retroactively reduced. The impact on Florida’s prison population — the third largest in the nation — could be huge.

Newly Released Ethics Documents Darken Cloud of FBI Probe Over Gillum Campaign
The Florida Commission on Ethics today released a trove of documents that darkens the cloud that has hung over Andrew Gillum’s gubernatorial campaign for months. They show an undercover FBI agent gave the Tallahassee mayor tickets to see the blockbuster Broadway show Hamilton during a 2016 trip to New York City.
Coral Gables Resident Sues Florida Over License-Plate Readers
In the seven years since Coral Gables began installing automatic license-plate readers, resident Raul Mas Canosa estimates the city has captured images of his car “thousands of times.” It’s a reasonable guess: By the end of the year, the City Beautiful is on track to scan more than 30 million license plates despite having a population of only 50,000.
Rick Scott’s New Ad in Spanish Is Misleading in Any Language
Rick Scott took a page from an old Miami playbook Monday when he issued an ad in Spanish that contradicts what he is saying and doing in English. It is designed to bolster the Florida governor’s campaign to unseat incumbent Bill Nelson in the race for the U.S. Senate.

Here Are All the Florida Congressional Candidates Who Took Money From the NRA
Florida has endured three horrific mass shootings in less than three years: Fifty were killed in June 2016 at Pulse nightclub, another five at the Fort Lauderdale airport in January 2017, and 17 more at Parkland’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in February of this year. Yet despite all the…
The Miami Dolphins Made the Right Decision in Trading Jarvis Landry
At first, the Dolphins trade of Jarvis Landry to the Cleveland Browns seemed iffy. Sending away a wide receiver who set reception records in his first four seasons in exchange for a middle- and late-round pick didn’t seem like the smartest move. But consider the cash…
Nothing Is Scarier This Halloween Than Florida’s Nightmarish Politics
Florida might not seem like a natural setting for bone-chilling horror. Gothic mansions on dark hillsides are tough to come by in the Sunshine State. Dracula would wilt in ten seconds flat in the tropical sun, and Michael Myers would probably require hospitalization for heatstroke before he could knock anyone…

Examiner Who Said Rainey’s Burned Body Showed No Trauma Got a Promotion and an Award
Lew has received not only a promotion from deputy chief medical examiner to director of Miami-Dade’s Medical Examiner Department, but also an award and even a pay bump. In March 2017, the year Rundle decided not to press charges, Lew was given Miami-Dade’s In the Company of Women Award for being an “Outstanding Woman in Government.”
Miami Lawyer Jailed for Scheme That Bilked QVC for Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars
For years, Miami-based attorney Eric Waraftig helped bankroll a QVC marketing director’s lavish lifestyle by embezzling hundreds of thousands of dollars and using inside information to make deals with competitors — all so he could pocket hundreds of thousands of dollars in kickbacks.

Early voting begins today, and the City of Miami Beach wants us all to vote for another general obligation bond — a loan proposed by elected officials that uses funds for various capital improvement projects. It’s voted on by residents and paid for, over time, by raising property taxes.

Kenny Stills Gifted a Security Guard a Football After He Accidentally Ran Over Her
The Miami Dolphins lost to the Detriot Lions 32-21 Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium. It amounted to an all-around sleepy effort in the Fins’ second game without starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill. The loss dropped them to 4-3 and, because of the Patriots’ win over the Bears, to second place in the AFC East. All in all, the Dolphins’ first seven games of the season will be remembered for blowing a chance to catapult the squad into the upper tier of AFC playoff teams.

Early voting begins this morning in what might be the most important midterm election of our lifetimes. With Florida’s environment hanging in the balance and the majority on the line in not only the state Senate but also U.S. Congress, this year will likely be historic. Not only that, but a proposed change to the state constitution could forever substantially rebalance the st
Here’s a Recent History of FIU Students Being Racist and Awful
Florida International University students really can’t seem to stop themselves from being gigantic assholes. From frats to campus conservative groups to, ahem, other campus-conservative groups, New Times keeps catching FIU kids acting like complete garbage. In recent years, FIU President Mark Rosenberg has had to suspend Greek Life on campus, college…

South Florida Cops Filmed Repeatedly Punching 14-Year-Old Black Girl
There is virtually no reason for a group of large adult male cops to pin a 14-year-old girl to the ground and continully punch her in the ribs and kidneys. Yet after Coral Springs Police officers were filmed doing exactly that to a teen outside the Coral Square Mall yesterday, the police department is now trying to defend itself and callously throwing the teen under the bus for somehow provoking the beating.
