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.

Donald J. Trump is a moron.
He is legitimately stupid 🙄
And Canadians who refuse to look for other markets for their products covered under CUSMA (USMCA) are also being stupid.
Trump has to bail out his own farmers & is going to add more tariffs on potash...Because he is an idiot.

What’s happening at the Supreme Court this week is bigger than just one FTC commissioner. The majority seems ready to endorse the “unitary executive” theory, giving Trump the power to purge agency staffers and replace them with loyalists. It’s a frightening prospect we should be paying attention to.
