Why is @miguelgabela supporting this? He ran as the anti-corruption @cityofmiami Commissioner @BillyCorben

Beyond parody: Miami Commissioner Miguel Gabela melts down and insults residents opposing his proposal to name a street after a disgraced former commissioner who resigned after pleading guilty in a corruption case involving a no-show job for his daughter with a city contractor.

Outside of Alligator Alcatraz today and I see a truck for “doodie calls”, the port-o-potty company that got $92 million from Florida taxpayers to operate there. This place might close soon but vendors grifted Floridians out of millions with the help of our state government.

the new 2-page James Comey indictment is laughably thin. How in God's name did a grand jury vote to bring charges here? https://t.co/4eyvwy7yrK

[ABC7 Eyewitness News @ABC7]

#BREAKINGNEWS: A federal grand jury in North Carolina has indicted former FBI Director James Comey over a controversial Instagram post from last year that President Donald Trump and members of his administration claimed was a threat against the president.

Citing the slang meaning of "86" as to "nix" or "get rid" of something, allies of the president alleged that the post was a veiled threat against Trump, and the Department of Homeland Security and Secret Service quickly launched investigations into the posts. https://t.co/VDeAFQWPEQ

The #Miami Police Chief formed a non-profit last year with his wife, his assistants, the owner of Jensen's Liquors and the owner of Club E11even "to purchase police equipment" and pay for charity events. This year, he's likely announcing a run for office. https://t.co/AdzijqU5Cd

In other judicial news, #MiamiDade Circuit Court Judge Mavel Ruiz has a challenger. How much do you want to bet it's because she had the Trump library case?
