Actually we were just visiting Greenville for a medical procedure yesterday. We live on Topsail Island on the beach. Happy to see you repping Eastern NC. No Kings!

Go Greenville! Just finished my RJs plate for lunch.

Nothing more American than this! 💙🇺🇸💙

I get a lot of ideas from friends . It may be something in the comments that makes a light go on. There are a lot of witty people out there and I appreciate that. It makes trying times a little easier.

If you don’t want to be called N*azis, don’t compare yourselves to N*azis. I don’t make the rules.

Stephen Miller deserves to
be incarcerated for life for
his crimes against humanity.

“Trump himself refused to activate the Guard when our Capitol was under attack; he should be embarrassed he is activating them now.”

Trump's Second Favorite Island Republican donors funnel millions through Guam, spotlighting the need for campaign finance reform

Hello Mueller, She Wrote, I’m Zach, a high school journalist. I just published an exclusive investigation into how 193 Trump donors funneled $2M through Guam, raising quid pro quo and campaign finance concerns. Would be grateful if you gave it a look or shared it:

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

Wilmington, NC showed up and showed out for #NoKings so damn proud of my fellow North Carolinians for standing up for Democracy. In America we don’t do Kings.

I think it would be good to get some women in charge of the countries that have nuclear weapons. Women talk to each other. Women can be reasonable. Enough with the macho men and swinging dicks.

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾‍♀️.

Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

On this #420day, we celebrate the 52nd anniversary of performers “Gail & Dale” singing the hit, “One Toke Over the Line,” on Lawrence Welk.

Neither had an idea the song was about pot, and Welk thought the song was a “modern spiritual.”

YouTube video by Senator Chris Van Hollen Just landed in El Salvador to discuss release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia.

I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has challenged Speaker Mike Johnson to a one-on-one debate on the House floor over the budget resolution.

Whaddya wanna bet Temu Moses is too chicken to do it?

Sen. Booker just broke the record for the longest floor speech in Senate history—a record set by Strom Thurmond trying to block the Civil Rights Act. The irony ain’t lost on us. From fighting against justice to fighting for it. This is what courage & being on the right side of history looks like!

Good Morning

About 12 hours or so in audiobook format. I've about two more to finish it. Quite damning and not a bit surprising.

Pete Hegseth must resign or be fired immediately.

Lock ‘em all up!

So let me get this straight—Trump’s nat sec adviser added a JOURNALIST to a group chat on classified Yemen strike plans?? This isn’t a group project, it’s national security.

They screamed “Lock her up” over emails, but leaking war plans is cool now? Make it make sense.
