Billy Corben vs. ‘Shev’ Jones means nobody loses No, it’s not a joke. It’s not a gimmick for his podcast or a campaign stunt against Gov. Ron DeSantis. Billy Corben, the award-winning documentary filmmaker who is also a potent activist — especially in the city of Miami — and an acerbic observer and commentator on […]
Anybody who wants to meet the Democratic candidates running for office in this month’s primary can find a bunch of them at Beat Culture Brewery Friday night at an event organized by Miami Cuban Dems. Among the confirmed candidates are two who want to reclaim congressional seats lost in 2020: Sen. Annette Taddeo, who is […]
Finally, a local Republican has taken a strong stand against the party for it’s lukewarm response to the insurgents’ siege on The Capitol earlier this month: Hialeah Councilman Paul “Pablitiquito” Hernández is turning blue. He made the decision almost two weeks ago, right after the “attempted coup on the building that represents our first branch […]
Shocker! Monique Nicole Barley, who came in fifth in the race for Miami-Dade mayor last week — but third in a number of predominantly black precincts — endorsed Commissioner Esteban Bovo on Thursday instead of her fellow Democrat, Commissioner Daniella Levine Cava. What’s more is she’s likely leaving the Democratic Party and turning — gasp […]
A pair of caravans in Miami-Dade on the last day of early voting show just how partisan and polemic our county mayoral race has become. In Miami Beach, a blue stronghold with a Democrat mayor, the Miami Beach Democratic Club had a convoy Sunday to kick off the Democratic National Convention, which started Monday, and […]
The numbers are in and Democrats in Florida can already score a win: They got a higher lead on Republicans in the number of new registered voters statewide so far.

While there isn’t one yet, we can expect a challenge to State Rep. Vance Aloupis in 2020. Someone is polling voters in House District 115, a very flippable seat that state and local Democrats want badly. Voters in the district — which stretches from Doral through Westchester, Kendall, Pinecrest and into Palmetto Bay — were polled via […]
Just because the second Democratic primary debate isn’t in Miami doesn’t mean that Miami isn’t into the debate. In fact, there are almost as many watch parties to choose from as there are candidates. So get together with friends and like-minded voters to watch Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders finally get into it on Day […]
Voters will get to decide if the newly created elected Miami-Dade sheriff’s seat, tax collector and supervisor of elections will be partisan positions or not after the county commission voted last week to put the referendum on the 2020 ballot. The sheriff’s position was created last year by voters who also made the elections head […]
It started good at the top of the ticket. Then, ouch. Was former Sen. Bill Nelson and Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum actually winning with absentee ballots? Because early results had them just over 50. Even Jeffrey “Doc” Solomon had 525 votes over newly-elected State Rep. Vance Aloupis, right, who ended up winning by 591 votes. […]
