Donald Trump infamously visited Miami’s Little Haiti in 2016, stood in front of the city’s Haitian-American community, and promised to be a “champion” for Haitians. He was clearly lying through his teeth.
The Miami Heat’s famously hard-working culture is back in the news, which is always a good thing because it usually means the team is winning basketball games. This time, though, the rest of the NBA and much of the media seemed to be finally realizing this isn’t just a catchy…
It’s about time someone apologized for bringing Donald Trump to Miami’s Little Haiti in 2016 and letting him blather on about how he planned to be a “champion” for the Haitian people. Asking Trump to apologize and reconsider his recent actions is a fool’s errand.
This past Tuesday, when volunteers were preparing to open for their normal 6-to-9 p.m. shift, they discovered thieves had been broken into the collective’s modified shipping container. Someone had hauled away three new bikes, expensive tools, and a generator the nonprofit group uses to keep the lights on. The total value was $4,000. It is the fourth time the bicycle collective has been targeted since it moved to Omni Park last February, according to Ruben van Hooidonk, the group’s vice president.
Commissioner Ricky Arriola is reportedly the subject of an investigation into attempted sexual battery, the Miami Herald reported minutes ago. Both Miami Beach Police and Arriola himself confirmed the existence of the investigation to the Herald. He has not been charged with a crime.
Broward and Miami-Dade County U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a leading Democrat, just helped hand Donald Trump, a man too dumb to tweet the word “tap” correctly, extra powers to spy on American citizens without a warrant. She joined 54 other Democrats in voting down a measure to rein in the U.S. National Security Agency’s unprecedented warrantless spying program.
The Heatles aren’t back, but Miami’s scruffy bunch of locals is playing some kind of basketball. A day after defeating the Toronto Raptors with an amazing, last-minute basket by shooting guard and long-ball wiz Wayne Ellington, the Heat beat the Indiana Pacers last night for its first win in Indianapolis since LeBron James, Chris Bosh, and Dwyane Wade played together.
When you’re pals with the dumbest person ever elected U.S. president, it’s pretty easy to convince the Leader of the Free World to do some stupid shit that makes you look good. Take Florida Governor Rick Scott: After Donald Trump’s Secretary of the Interior, Ryan Zinke, announced a plan this…
In September 2015, Lisa was working as a pier attendant at the Deerfield Beach Fishing Pier when her boss, public works director Charles DaBrusco, called her into the bathroom to check out a broken toilet. Once the two were inside, however, it became clear he hadn’t summoned her for a maintenance issue.
For one brief moment, it appeared the congressional race to replace retiring GOP Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen in her central-Miami district would be boring. The Republican candidates, led by the charismatic-as-a-rock Miami-Dade Commissioner Bruno Barreiro, couldn’t scrape together 10 cents among them.
Nestor Yglesias, ICE’s South Florida spokesperson, confirmed that five 7-Eleven locations from Vero Beach to Homestead had been visited by ICE agents today.
Late yesterday afternoon, a Tallahassee judge permanently blocked Florida from forcing women seeking abortions to undergo a useless, 24-hour waiting period before ending their pregnancies. That move seemed to deal a blow to one of the most significant women’s rights proposals passed by the frighteningly conservative Florida Legislature in recent years.
Here are a few rules the Dolphins should follow this offseason if they hope to win their first playoff game since Bill Clinton was president.
Fusion burst onto Miami’s media landscape in August 2013 with splashy hires, an influx of cash from Disney and Univision, and a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by Gov. Rick Scott, who pledged millions to get the venture off the ground. In the four years since then, the cable channel/news website has quickly gone through several lives.
According to a lawsuit filed in Miami-Dade County Court, Miami Police Officer Adrian Santos was thrown out of the downtown Miami nightclub E11even in the early-morning hours of November 18, tossed into the back of a cop car, and given a drug test. He was quickly fired but claims in court he had no idea why.
Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine wants to be governor, but the outlook is bleak.
When the summer sun in Florida pushes temperatures past 100 degrees, state prisoners — the vast majority of whom are stuck in jail without air-conditioning on drug charges — feel it. When those inmates work (they were forced, for example, to clean up after Hurricane Irma), they typically don’t get a dime in return. When their mostly poor families send them money for food and necessities, a $4 case of soup costs $17.
Michael DeFilippi peers down a dingy Miami Beach alley a few blocks from Ocean Drive, watching intently as two men in red T-shirts and baseball caps disappear into the early-evening darkness. He’s absolutely, positively convinced they’re drug dealers — has been since hours earlier that November day, when, he says,…
Today marks the official beginning of the 2018 Florida legislative session (joy!), which means Tallahassee’s brightest and most powerful lawmakers are rolling out their signature legislative proposals for the year. In the leadup to today, Richard Corcoran, the speaker of the Florida House of Representatives, has filled out the equivalent of an entire “lunatic Republican” bingo card. During the past few weeks, he has:
A few days after Christmas in 2015, a woman working on Royal Caribbean’s Majesty of the Seas was pinned down by another crew member and violently raped, a lawsuit says. The attack, which lasted around 45 minutes, was so brutal the woman was left with bite marks and bruises.
Few stores have played as big a role in the history of Miami as the Macy’s in downtown, which the company announced would close permanently in the near future. Before it was a Macy’s, though, the building bore the name Burdines, and it was the flagship for Florida’s first family of retail.
You read the headline, so let’s cut the crap and get to the point: The Miami Dolphins need to use a high draft pick on a quarterback in this April’s NFL Draft. Yes, the team needs to replace Ryan Tannehill.
