The New York Times recent odd reports of Marco Rubio’s traffic tickets and personal finances have caused something quite odd. Even the most progressive voices are rallying around Rubio to critique the Times’ stories. Last night even John Stewart got into the fun last night, wondering, “How is this frontage…
Is Rep. Alan Grayson about to shake up the 2016 Florida Senate race? He’s just staffed up with a formidable election team, singled out Rep. Patrick Murphy, a moderate Democrat who is already in the race, in a news release, and recent polls show he could indeed have a shot…
Last week The New York Times published the traffic infraction history of Marco Rubio and his wife that was widely panned. The “shocking” findings: the Rubios are typical Miami driver. The piece was widely panned by other outlets, and even spawned a Twitter Hashtag — #RubioCrimeSpree — mocking the lowball…
Last week, the New York Times dropped an election-season bombshell: Marco Rubio and his wife, Jeanette, have gotten a few traffic tickets over the years in Miami. The horror! The story has been universally lampooned, with conservatives questioning whether the Times took the traffic info from a liberal opposition research group…
The New York Times, the paper of record with a combined 114 Pulitzer Prizes, has really outdone itself with its latest shocker. It’s the kind of in depth investigation that could change the course of American politics for ever. They’ve found that Marco Rubio and his wife Jeanette have —gasp—…
For more than six months, Jeb Bush has been furiously crisscrossing the country to give speeches in key primary states while raising unprecedented campaign millions. He even told reporters at one stop in Nevada: “I am running for president in 2016.” But believe it or not, through it all Jeb…
Almost a year ago, Governor Rick Scott signed the “Charlotte’s Web” bill into law, legalizing a non-euphoric strain of marijuana for medical use in Florida. Though, so far Floridians who need that medical treatment have not yet been able to receive it. The law has been held up by legal…
Marco Rubio, the Republican “boy” wonder, is 44-years-old today! The Presidential candidate will spend the day in Las Vegas, his other childhood home (the Rubio family lived there between 1979 and 1985 before returning to Miami). He’ll celebrate later at a birthday party-slash-fundraiser hosted at the home of Rick Harrison, the…
Earlier this month, the Miami Beach Police Department was hanging its head in shame when the State Attorney’s Office announced that two officers had used work accounts to send hundreds of explicitly racist, sexist, and homophobic emails and text messages. When news of the scandal broke, one of the officers, Captain Alex…

On its website Monsanto, the St. Louis-based biotech corporate giant, calls itself a “sustainable agricultural company” that’s focused on empowering farmers and conserving natural resources.

Politically, Alan Grayson is progressive Floridian’s wet dream. Many are still holding out hope that he’ll jump into the Senate race against establishment favorite and boringly moderate Rep. Patrick Murphy. There’s just one little problem with Grayson: his personality. The hot tempered Orlando-area Democrat is currently in the process of…
As he nears $100 million in fundraising and an official announcement he’s trying to follow his father and brother into the White House, countless sentences are being written about Jeb Bush every single day. But not many look like the description of a new tome for sale on Amazon about…

Yesterday the Downtown Development Authority, the agency in charge of “As the chief advocate for downtown Miami’s growing base of residents, businesses and visitors from around the world, the Miami DDA has been making the case that homelessness is having…
The signs have been there all along: The obsession with Nicky Minaj. The naive belief that he will someday rule the free world. His love of ornamental swords. Marco Rubio is a teenage dude stuck in a U.S. senator’s body. And judging by his speech last night, he’s been binging…
The video begins with an image of feces next to a brick building. Then it cuts to an image of feces in a bucket. For the next two and a half minutes, many more images of feces. And urine. And that’s it. Called “Homeless May 2015 Feces & Urine”, the…
Cuban migration to Miami has risen sharply following President Obama’s historic December announcement that he plans to restore diplomatic relations between the two nations, Customs and Border Protection stats obtained by Miami New Times show.

Dozens of union workers sporting red, purple, and yellow T-shirts file into a sweltering auditorium on the grounds of the Greater Bethel AME Church in Overtown. As a speaker whips the crowd into a chant — “Fight for ’15! Fight for ’15!” — a pudgy, olive-skinned man in black slacks…
