CONFIRMED: Eileen Higgins, a Democrat, will be the new mayor of Miami.
She'll be the city's first Democratic mayor since the 1990s. She flipped the office from Republicans, and does so easily. She leads the DeSantis-endorsed Emilio González 59/41 right now with most ballots counted.

A reporter asks if Mamdani stands by calling Trump a fascist. Mamdani starts to give a delicate answer.
Trump (smiles, pats Mamdani's arm): "That's OK, you can just say yes. It's easier. I don't mind."

Here’s why the “Now that Trump has scrubbed the files of his name..” …is likely invalid:
1. Agencies…investigators…and committees already have the originals
2. Key material has already BEEN released including his name.
3. Redactions…can be exposed by comparing versions.

I absolutely don't want Senate Dems to cave, but some key things:
1. If they do, this gets kicked back over to the House, which has to vote on it again since it would differ from their own version...which I think only runs thru 11/21?
2. That presumably means having to swear in Grjalva.

The great thing about the Trump endorsement is that even before his terms as president and all the misery attached for blue-state America, there was no more disliked celebrity in New York. Donald Trump was known to New Yorkers as a constant chisler and self-aggrandizing vulgarian.
