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.

This is really troubling. So much damage has been done to this country just within 11 months of 47's presidency. How can we ever undo this?!?

Minutes ago today the Trump regime abruptly cancelled citizenship ceremonies for several immigrants in Boston.
THEY CANCELLED CITIZENSHIP CEREMONIES.
These immigrants followed every rule & did everything right—Trump banned them anyway. All are from Black & brown majority nations.
This Is Fascism.

The media needs to stop this "apparent" and "seemingly" crap when reporting in Trump. He completely reversed himself either because he forgot what he said last week or lied.

Hard to believe it's been 38 years since I was diagnosed with Leukemia. So thankful that chemotherapy, which is a very real thing, was available and I went into remission relatively quickly. Don't listen to idiots who question science and doctors.

It's ridiculous to ask him this. According to the Ukrainian constitution, agreeing to give up territory is forbidden and equivalent to turning against his country.
Do these evil Americans already know this? Probably, which makes this plan sinister.
