The outpouring of support has been overwhelming and incredibly moving. 💙

The @katiephangshow.bsky.social will air until Saturday, April 19th! So until then, if you can, please continue to tune in and watch.

I’m always grateful for the privilege of your time.

Here are just a few of the gerrymandered monstrosities that Republican map-drawers have foisted on North Carolina voters:

NBC News: Gail Schechter, a former Veterans Affairs employee who was terminated for what the agency called "poor performance," sued the department in federal court asking for her job back.

"Defendant's motives in terminating her employment had nothing to do with her skills, ability, or efforts."

Go read a book.

Yeah. No.

That’s not how that works…

Well… today I have my first DOGE subcommittee hearing along with a Judiciary hearing, all while DC is snowed in!

If I had normal coworkers & the country wasn’t going to hell lead by DOGE Douchebags, I’d say, “nothing to see here,” but something tells me, today is going to be pure insanity…

Pam Bondi is disbanding the Foreign Influence Task Force - the FBI team that is charged with combatting foreign meddling in US elections.

Worth asking how this makes us more safe in any way, shape, or form.

Go ahead and escape in a book.

Elections have consequences. Thank goodness North Carolina still has an Attorney General who will fight to protect the United States Constitution.

This is Lady. She just moved from Kentucky to Montana. Winter looks different here, and she’s making her feelings on that very clear. 13/10

Congratulations are in order for Joyce Edwards being the SEC Freshman of the Week!
Many more accolades to come for this Gamecock! ✨

During Trump’s last term, he made over 30,000 false or misleading claims. It’s always important to verify facts. For instance, he once stated that ‘raking the forest’ could help prevent forest fires.

I think the wrong questions r being asked about the proposed tariffs. The real question Is how little will he accept from Mexico , Canada and China in order to be able to say the threat of tariffs worked ?

Something many of you can do:

Help attorneys you know get trained as emergency immigration lawyers. Not to take on immigration cases through the whole span of the process, but to keep people out of detention or get them out once they’re in. Plenty of migrant rights groups do trainings.

Imagine if Biden had tried to make an example of Texas or Mississippi or Utah…
