Mona Singh for Wake County Commissioner. I’m voting for Mona! Early voting Feb 12-28, Election Day is March 3.

Early Voting is here! I’m voting for Mona for Wake County Commissioner, because I’ve seen her doing the grassroots work of talking to voters for years, I’ve witnessed her genuine compassion for other people, and I understand how her tech expertise and experience would benefit the Board, and Wake Co.

Riffing off Brendan's method of juxtaposition in this awesome report, I'd like to offer another comparison:

Food assistance cuts versus new funding for DHS in the "Big Beautiful Bill"

Republicans cut food assistance by $187 billion while providing $191 billion in funding for DHS

To those who believe voting doesn’t matter. VOTING ALWAYS MATTERS.

Get out there and vote. Voting is not the only thing but it is IMPERATIVE in holding power to account.

If your vote didn’t matter Donald Trump would not be talking about wanting to control voting.

This entire answer from Mike Johnson β€” the speaker of the House and a lawyer β€” must be seen.

It is fundamentally wrong on both points: as to administrative warrants (which need not be signed by immigration judges) and as to judicial warrants (which are not "new" for authorizing home entry).

Dem Primary in Wake Co includes candidates for 2 new seats on the Board of Commissioners. I’m supporting Mona Singh because she’s been doing grassroots community work on the ground here for years and she’ll bring experience and innovative tech expertise that we don’t have on the Board currently.

What South Carolina’s soaring measles outbreak means for the rest of the U.S. More than 840 measles infections have been reported in South Carolina, surpassing the tally in Texas last year. Public health experts say it shows the risks when vaccination coverage falls.

NEW: South Carolina’s measles outbreak is country’s largest in more than 25 years. But its falling vaccination coverage + rising religious exemptions from school requirements don’t make it an outlier. My story. Gift link. 1/3

I can think of no one who shaped North Carolina’s recent successes as much as Governor Jim Hunt. Governor for 16 years, he was a visionary who founded Smart Start, raised teacher pay, protected air quality, and created the NC Biotech Center. On a personal level, he was a mentor and dear friend.

Massive defeat for Mike Johnson. Still has to clear the senate, but this is what Dems wanted all along. Johnson has essentially lost control of the gavel after Epstein and now this. Weakest speaker in history.

"Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power."
