“If we don’t use it,” Ms. Hernández explained of the moniker, “people don’t know that we sell it.”

And in Miami, people really want it.

A little ode to Christmas in Miami, miles away from the tourist haunts nytimes.com/2022/12/22/us/…

.Patricia Mazzei was kind enough to link to my @MiamiNewTimes article about Santa's in Hialeah being way too packed 🥰

But that's the least reason why you should read this story. It's lovely and we need more lovely Miami stories.

The SHOCK in finding out that the reporter who I consider to be the most Miami of reporters, Patricia Mazzei, never visited Santa's until this year. (It's a great piece on a beloved Miami tradition, BTW.) nytimes.com/2022/12/22/us/…

Miles from South Beach and most of the city’s tourist haunts, Santa’s Enchanted Forest has endeared locals for decades with a little tradition and a lot of glitz nytimes.com/2022/12/22/us/… via Patricia Mazzei

I was honored to talk to Patricia Mazzei about one of Miami’s fondest traditions. It made me feel nostalgic and whimsical. Outside of food and sports, we don’t have a lot of collective culture here. In many ways, Santa’s represents the best Miami can be: something for everyone.

Been waiting for this story from
Scott McIntyre and
Patricia Mazzei and it did not disappoint! nytimes.com/2022/12/22/us/…

“Do you remember????” my mom emailed me, with this link, this morning. Yes, I remember — and ⁦Patricia Mazzei⁩ couldn’t have captured it more perfectly. nytimes.com/2022/12/22/us/…

Rubio isn’t named in the indictment, isn’t considered a suspect & is referred to by his title. Just in case, I asked former Sen. Bill Nelson if he met with Rivera & he said “No. I didn’t talk to him”

Because Rubio talks quickly, here’s the transcript of Jim DeFede’s interview

Rivera, who was secretly hired for $50M by Venezuela’s oil company to peddle the prospect of a thaw in U.S.-Venezuela relations to Washington, was arrested and charged with conspiracy, failure to register as a foreign agent and other crimes

Greenberg cooperated against Matt Gaetz and many others. Sentence was lower b/c of cooperation. Gaetz has not been charged; prosecution of him may be difficult. Judge said Greenberg's cooperation was more than he'd seen in his time as judge nytimes.com/2022/12/01/us/… w/Eric Adelson
