🚨 TRAFFIC UPDATE 🚨 NW 67th Avenue between NW 25th Street - NW 32nd Street remains closed due to the ongoing response to the cargo plane crash. Please avoid the area if you do not need to be there and use alternate routes until further notice.

I spoke with @CBSMiami this morning about yesterday’s Amazon Prime Air cargo incident at @iflymia and the incredible response from @MiamiDadeFire and the @MiamiDade_SO , who responded within just 30 seconds. As operations work toward returning to normal, travelers should continue checking directly with their airlines for the latest information on delays or cancellations before heading to MIA.

Miami-Dade County Commissioner Natalie Milian Orbis issued the following statement following the tragic aircraft incident at Miami International Airport on Sunday afternoon: “Today, our community experienced a heartbreaking tragedy at Miami International Airport. An Amazon Prime Air cargo aircraft overran the runway, crossed the airport perimeter and struck multiple vehicles outside the airport. At this time, officials have confirmed that five people have tragically lost their lives and five others have been injured, including three who remain in critical condition. My heart goes out to the families who lost loved ones today and to everyone who has been impacted by this terrible incident. We are praying for those who remain hospitalized and for their full recovery. I am incredibly grateful to the men and women of Miami-Dade Fire Rescue, the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office and all of the first responders and emergency personnel who immediately responded to this scene. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue responded within just 30 seconds of receiving the call, demonstrating the extraordinary readiness and professionalism of the men and women who serve our community. The surrounding communities, including the cities of Virginia Gardens and Miami Springs, are directly adjacent to the airport and our office remains in close communication with our neighboring municipalities as the investigation and emergency response continue. The area surrounding NW 67th Avenue and Perimeter Road remains secured as local and federal authorities conduct their investigation. I urge residents to avoid the area, allow first responders and investigators to do their work, and follow all instructions from law enforcement. There are still many questions that need to be answered about what happened today. We will continue closely monitoring this investigation and working with our federal, County and municipal partners as additional information becomes available. Tonight, our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families and everyone affected by this tragedy.”

Statement from Commissioner Natalie Milian Orbis following the earthquake in Peru:

Celebrating Fidel Castro, a murderous communist dictator whose failed regime destroyed Cuba’s economy, freedom, imprisoned dissidents, and forced generations into exile, tells you everything you need to know about the Democratic Socialists of America.

Commissioner Roberto J. Gonzalez @RobJGonzalezFL

Every elected leader in Miami-Dade County, regardless of political affiliation, MUST immediately and unequivocally denounce the DSA. There should be no room for communist ideology, extremism, or its influence in our schools, communities, or government. This should not be a

This is what happens when those who romanticize Fidel Castro are confronted with the truth. For Cuban families, communism is not a theory or a slogan. It is a lived history of political prisoners, broken families, lost freedoms, and generations forced into exile.

An important clip here —not because of the incredibly awkward pause when the Castro-praising DSA guy doesn’t quite know what to say to Boris Sanchez— but because it exposes this cartoonish propaganda of those leftists who don’t understand Cuban history Batista was a dictator So

Heartbroken by the tragic helicopter accident in Kenya that claimed the lives of Roger Duarte and six others. Roger was a respected Miami entrepreneur and a beloved member of a family deeply rooted in our community. My prayers are with his wife, Nicole Valls Duarte, the entire Valls family, and the families and loved ones of all the victims. May God give them strength and comfort during this incredibly difficult time.

My prayers are with the people of Colombia following the powerful earthquake centered in San José de Palmar, Chocó in western Colombia. The devastation and loss are heartbreaking. We stand with the families affected, the communities facing destruction, and the first responders working to save lives. Miami-Dade stands with Colombia during this difficult time. May God protect the Colombian people and give them strength as they recover. ——————————————————— Mis oraciones están con el pueblo de Colombia tras el fuerte terremoto con epicentro en San José del Palmar, Chocó, en el oeste del país. La devastación y las pérdidas son profundamente dolorosas. Estamos con las familias afectadas, las comunidades que enfrentan tanta destrucción y los equipos de emergencia que trabajan incansablemente para salvar vidas. Miami-Dade está con Colombia en estos momentos tan difíciles. Que Dios proteja al pueblo colombiano y le dé fortaleza durante su recuperación.

I feel much safer walking down a street lined with American flags. If our flag makes you feel unsafe, you have lost sight of what it represents. Americans of every race, religion, and background have carried it into battle and sacrificed their lives defending the liberty it represents. In honor of America’s 250th anniversary, our team has proudly distributed thousands of American flags throughout our community. We will never apologize for loving our country, honoring those who defended it, or proudly flying the Stars and Stripes.

The American Flamingo has been designated as the Official Bird of Miami-Dade County!  As the sponsor of this legislation, which was unanimously voted on, I am proud to celebrate one of South Florida’s most iconic native species. More than just a beautiful bird, the American Flamingo represents the natural beauty, history, and vibrant spirit that make our community unlike anywhere else. A proud day for Miami-Dade County and a fitting tribute to one of South Florida’s most iconic species.

The Castro dictatorship never stopped at Cuba’s shores. For decades, it exported repression, propaganda, and subversion in an effort to undermine the United States and spread its anti-American ideology. Sunlight is the best disinfectant. Every American should read this report and understand the true nature of the Cuban regime. Thank you, @SecRubio , for ensuring this history is no longer ignored.

For more than six decades, the Cuban regime has been the leading sponsor of radical leftism and Third Worldism in the United States. The State Department is exposing the full history of Cuban espionage and subversion in our country. The American people deserve to know.
