Miami just canceled its November election & pushed it to 2026. No public vote, just canceled.
Mayor Suarez & Joe Carollo get to stick around an extra year.
This feels like a power grab. If one city can delay elections for “participation,” what’s to stop others from doing it to silence opposition?

The spectacle was billed as honoring the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday.
In reality, the event was just one part of the Trump administration’s vast, billion-dollar government effort to make the leader feel good about himself.

In the AC Hotel, we got word from a staff member that the agents were staying here and questioning the workers—the workers that were cleaning their rooms, the workers that were making their food. They were questioning them and asking for their ID and in a very aggressive way.

The order instructs the Election Assistance Commission to amend its national mail voter registration form to require that all voters present documentation proving they are citizens with an ID that conforms with the REAL ID Act of 2005, a military ID, government-issued photo ID, or a passport.
If state election officials refuse to comply with Trump’s unlawful edict to share their voter rolls with Elon Musk, the attorney general could withhold law enforcement grants.
