I think it’s worth noting that not only did we win the Miami mayoral race but we won within like 20 minutes.
The race was so decisive that we almost had an instantaneous answer. That’s how screwed Republicans are going into 2026.

After MTG lied about me for weeks, she said that she felt bad for my unborn child because he'd have me as a mother. Her rhetoric led to threats against my family.
No one, even her, should receive threats like those, but I'd like to see her own up to the role she played in creating them for others.
