The winner of this legislative session’s most emblematic voicemail goes to…..

The City of Miami Beach has a First Amendment problem... I've been trying to ask accused serial sex pest mayor Steven Meiner questions for months and city staff like Daphne Saba ignore emails, delay public records requests and sneak him around city hall and out the back door to avoid the public and press. My roots in this city go back generations and it's a tragedy how Meiner and his Tonton Macoute have destroyed our beautiful island town. There are a lot of decent hard-working people working at the city, but they're being held hostage by corrupt and incompetent leadership. Meiner, city mismanager Eric Carpenter, city attorney/mob lawyer Ricardo Dopico, police chief Wayne Jones, and city commissioners have sent a clear message that ethics can be ignored, laws broken and the Constitution violated — without consequence…

“It's a Miami Mafia Mockery": At this week's city commission meeting, I call on Mayor Eileen Higgins to keep her campaign promises of a "deep dive" into the city's out of control budget and auditing the $400 million (plus interest!) Miami Forever Bonds — before she makes us pay for another HALF-A-BILLION DOLLAR credit card. And I call out Commissioner Miguel Gabela's embarssing scheme to name a street after an ex commissioner who resigned after confessing to a public corruption charge... #BecauseMiami

ROBBERY: Miami Mayor Eileen Higgins promised a “deep dive” to find waste and misuse in the city budget — which has DOUBLED in the last 5 years with 77% going to salaries and benefits. Instead, Higgins wants a HALF-A-BILLION DOLLAR credit card while we’re already drowning in debt from Marlins Park and other high interest bonds. Salaries for Miami city employees are up 54% and benefits up 62% in the last three years and the number of city hall insiders making over $200,000 has DOUBLED in two years. While regular Miami residents — with a median household income of $66,000 — have only seen a 2-3% increase in wages per year. And now Higgins, city manager James Reyes (salary: $475,000 and lives in Broward), Commissioner Damian Pardo and city attorney George Wysong (salary: $417,000 and doesn’t live in the city) are covering up public records that document how much taxpayer money they actually pay out to city workers. #BecauseMiami

My latest ⁦@MiamiHerald⁩ “When a government is told it may be overtaxing residents by nearly $100 million, the response should never be to propose $450 million in new borrowing. That is not fiscal management. It’s taxpayer abuse”. miamiherald.com/opinion/op-ed/…

Threatened with arrest! We are in a public park, at a public event trying to interview the elected Mayor. #miamidade #miamidadesheriff

THE MIAMI MAFIA LIVES: This city government can't stop doing unconstitutional sh*t — so l call out the commission for trying to cancel an election, the city attorney for misappropriating millions in tax dollars to hire loser lawyers and Commissioner Damian Pardo for trying to censor and silence the public for criticizing his misconduct. And they are NOT happy about my plan to disincentivize their f*ckery — by making THEM pay for it instead of us. #BecauseMiami

MDW/EDGE are not reliable pollsters — they are political grifters who release bogus numbers to fool Democrats into donating money to their clients/candidates. These same con artists put out a poll in August 2024 claiming all their Miami-Dade constitutional officer candidates and Kamala Harris were ahead by 14-15 percent. Instead, they all LOST by about that same amount. That’s a 30-point swing! Do not trust anything these liars say. #BecauseMiami

"The Miami of today is the America of tomorrow." —@BillyCorben and @LeBatardShow on what the absurdity of South Florida can tell us about where the country is heading, at large

Miami Police shoot, wound man across from Ultra Music Festival… The incident occurred Saturday morning around 7AM outside the YVE Hotel on Biscayne Blvd. & NE 2nd St. after officers responded to a report of a man in his 20s acting erratically. Officers attempted to de-escalate the situation, used a Taser and pepper spray, which were apparently not effective — and an officer fired at the man. Miami Police Chief Manny Morales said he "appeared to have non-life-threatening injuries," and was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital for treatment along with one officer injured during the incident.

@Chris_Gothner @volvoshine How is it “rail accessible?” Metrorail to the airport?

@volvoshine City hall will be rail-accessible at that point. Interestingly I feel like Miami has to (and if so, will continue to) be the only major city in the country where the city hall is in a neighborhood well outside the CBD?

I like this

Victim comes forward days after #7News story on attempted murderer released from jail, says attacker robbed and shot at him in ‘24. Freed arrestee had said he’s suing Opa-Locka cops for wrongful arrest. @wsvn #Exclusive story:

The judge in the battery case vs @BebaSardinaMann didn't buy her silly Stand Your Ground defense for grabbing @BillyCorben's phone out of his hand. Judge found Joe Carollo not credible. Imagine that. Trial in June. Only on #PoliticalCortadito #Miami politicalcortadito.com/2026/03/25/jud…

Does he want to be a one termer or not ☺️ His choice

Today in Miami Fed Court for money laundering/foreign agent trial of Marco Rubio pal David Rivera: Juror said they went to high school with Rubio and can’t be fair because “I know Rubio” and “you can’t trust a word that comes out of his mouth.” Juror was stricken. #BecauseMiami
