Florida is immune to sanity, reason and “blue waves” (it’s the only kind of flood we don’t get here).

[Alex DeLuca @AlexLDeLuca]

Florida (narrowly) escaped the blue wave.

So how did Republicans manage to hold on? I spoke with a few political analysts to find out.

This gets worse. The daughter of Miami-Dade’s supervisor of elections is representing Maria Elvira Salazar in the recount for congressional district 27th. Her attorney son-in-law is also representing Maria Elvira Salazar. Miami mafia stuff

🇺🇸 It’s pouring rain across Miami-Dade, but democracy can’t wait for the sun to come out! 🌧️🗳️

Rain or shine, PLEASE GET OUT AND VOTE! This election could come down to just a handful of votes, and YOUR vote could make the difference.

Democracy needs YOU, rain or shine!

State Representative Fabian Basabe just had a full on meltdown at the Miami Beach City Hall voting location. It required police to intervene twice, eventually telling him he would be ticketed if he kept yelling into a microphone while people were voting.

[Because Miami @BecauseMiami]

@ENZE_tracks @LeBatardShow Me either.

[stoppedthebully @DistrictMia]

CRAZINESS IN FLORIDA! Footage of FL Representative @FabianBasabeFL at City Hall interacting with voters. Do you think this is acceptable conduct from a state representative? Police have been called multiple times!

I’d like to report a robbery. Of our tax dollars…

[Doug Hanks @doug_hanks]

Miami-Dade @MayorDaniella plans to use county correctional officers she oversees to replace the plain-clothes sheriff deputies who serve as drivers & bodyguards for her & 13 commissioners. @Sheriff_Rosie ending sergeant-at-arms details amid budget fight. https://t.co/XlXebCkrZg

[Billy Corben @BillyCorben]

“Mayor, you are a liar and a thief...”

VOTE NO on ALL THREE City of Miami referendum items.

Mayor Eileen Higgins and Commissioners Miguel Gabela, Rolando Escalona and Ralph Rosado are going to BANKRUPT the city, RAISE our taxes and DOUBLE the debt to $2 BILLION. All while lining the pockets of their cronies — who will kick back cash to them. #BecauseMiami

[Billy Corben @BillyCorben]

Man testifies under oath that Florida GOP State Rep. Fabian Basabe dr*gged and r*ped him…

Basabe says he is too attractive to r*pe anyone: “Open your eyes and look at me. I don’t need to r*pe sh*t.”

This is one of at least five men who have accused Basabe of s*xual misconduct. He was found liable by a civil jury in July for s*xually harassing and battering his male former legislative aide and intern and ordered to pay them $450,000 in damages.

I’d like to report a robbery: it’s the City of Miami budget!

These Miami Mafiosos just passed a $3.7 BILLION budget filled with grift and graft.

The commission didn’t double in size, the population didn’t double, the city workforce didn’t double, lord knows the quality and quantity of our services haven’t doubled — the cost of government DOUBLED.

This mayor and commission are going to bankrupt the city — while enriching themselves and their cronies… #BecauseMiami

[Grant Stern  @grantstern]

Republican State Rep. Fabian Basabe promised to resign if a court found any truth in the allegations of sexual harassment against him.

He lost a trial.

Fabian Basabe running for re-election as a Republican anyway.

Arianne Betancourt, daughter of Justo Betancourt, who was detained at Alligator Alcatraz for six 1/2 months, just tried to talk with Maria Elvira Salazar at a community event. Arianne wanted to know why Salazar never helped her dad, despite her pleading with her office to do so.

[Justin Garcia @JustinGarciaFL]

NEW: Hope Florida says it connects disabled people with essential aid. But 10 people I spoke with provided emails showing they were led to dead ends. Meanwhile, they're furious the state misused $10M in Medicaid for politics—money that could've helped them
