His vice president is running against him.But Miami, oh Miami — alleged capital of democratic yearnings for the rest of the hemisphere — is staging a love fest for America’s caudillo in his darkest hour.The special counsel bringing Donald Trump to justice said the ex-president “put our country at risk.”But that Trump has been indicted on 37 felony counts of documented treasonous behavior — grave acts like bragging about possessing a military plan to invade Iran, knowingly stealing thousands of classified documents and storing them at Mar-a-Lago and obstructing justice instead of returning them — is only fuel to show him more adoration.“We love you!” a woman in an unmistakably rhythmic Miami accent kept shrieking as Trump entered his hotel in Doral Monday for an overnight stay before his arraignment Tuesday at the downtown Mi...

All but one Major League Baseball team will celebrate Pride Night this season as a show of support for LGBTQ+ fans.
