Will Miami’s Congressional delegation vote to release Epstein files?
Democrats are counting on dozens of Republicans to break with Donald Trump on the proposal. South Florida Republicans haven’t committed yet to how they’ll vote.

I've reclassified this guy as the First Lady. All he's doing, and all he cares about, is remodeling the White House. I look forward to his Christmas display this year
Trump: "Right behind me by the way, in about 2 years from now, is a much bigger room. This will be the entrance. That's a knockout panel. It looks pretty nice right now but it'll look a lot better in a little while... The future entrance to something that's really become very popular, the ballroom."

There was such a big opportunity for FIFA to not do this when every other sport/entertainment event in the US is. To not do dynamic pricing. To not fleece ordinary fans. To make the World Cup accessible and genuinely grow the game.
Instead Gianni got dollar signs in his eyes.

FIFA has raised ticket prices for dozens of 2026 World Cup games, in some cases by more than 20%.
Most upper-deck tickets to the World Cup final are now $5,055 or $3,450.
Increases for two of three USMNT games.

Here you have a Florida Fish & Wildlife officer detaining an individual who was fishing and admitting they have been directed to “check with immigration on anyone who gives us a passport and doesn’t appear to be a citizen”, which sounds a lot like racial profiling.

FL is moving forward w/ plan to end all childhood vaccine mandates. Starting with hepatitis B, chickenpox, and the bacteria causing meningitis and pneumonia.

"When we saw agents we immediately locked the doors," supervisor said.
"No one was committing a crime. We were just doing laundry... It’s racial profiling.It’s a numbers game."

That Trump and Trumpism are fascist doesn’t explain the sheer vandalism of unleashing mass murdering mayhem via RFK to replace medical/scientific institutions of immense value and prestige with medieval peasant superstitions. That is a criminal madness facilitated by but above and beyond fascism.
