Jen Psaki is right: Talarico should be adamant that every vote be counted in Dallas County and those who were denied the opportunity to vote be given a ballot immediately.

I’ve seen folks complaining about showing up to their polling site earlier and being turned away and told they have to go to some other side of town and other issues. Thanks.

I am so enraged. My bill is double what it was for the last three months at the exact same time last year.

Texas family: WTH is going on in Dallas County? Is everyone going to be able to vote??

A deeply underreported story. I know so many people struggling to pay their electric bills

All of us in NC who voted for Roy Cooper watching him note how humbled and excited he is to have the democratic nomination.

Tillis isn’t a good guy in this. He’s fundamentally a coward who’s kicking Trump and his cabinet on the way out the door after being a reliable vote.

But this kind of criticism, wherever it comes from within the GOP, is valuable and should be amplified.

And it's still on sight for Cal Cunningham!

Folks in NC watching others around the country give Thom Tillis props today:

Perhaps not what we deserve, but definitely what we need.

It's election day here in NC. Gas is through the roof today, and many of us (self included) have loved ones stuck in the Middle East right now.

Please exercise your right to vote and do so thoughtfully and with intention.

Lookin at you NC and especially TX. Get Roy and Jasmine one step closer.

This lede is anti-Black. I will not be explaining.

GEN X: CLOCK IN!!!

WE JUST GOT A DE LA SOUL TINY DESK!!!

you can have a dinner that celebrates the First Amendment or a dinner that features Donald Trump but you cannot have both

One of my cherished memories is a ticket to a major track and field event at Duke when I was a kid that was autographed by Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Valerie Brisco-Hooks, and Evelyn Ashford. Happy birthday!

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES No. 25A914 NICOLE MALLIOTAKIS, ET AL. v. MICHAEL WILLIAMS, ET AL. ON APPLICATION FOR STAY No. 25A915 PETER KOSINSKI, ET AL. v. MICHAEL WILLIAMS, ET AL. ON APPLICATION FOR STAY [March 2, 2026] The applications for stay presented to JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR and by her referred to the Court are granted. The January 21, 2026 order entered by the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, Index No. 164002/2025, is stayed pending the disposition of the appeal in the New York state courts and disposition of a petition for a writ of certiorari in this Court, if such a writ is timely sought. Should certiorari be denied, this stay shall terminate automatically. In the event certiorari is granted, the stay shall terminate upon the issuance of the mandate of this Court.

JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR, with whom JUSTICE KAGAN and JUSTICE JACKSON join, dissenting from grant of stay. The Court's 101-word unexplained order can be summarized in just 7: "Rules for thee, but not for me." Time and again, this Court has said that federal courts have limited jurisdiction. Time and again, this Court has said that federal courts should not interfere with state-court litigation. Time and again, this Court has said that federal courts should not meddle with state election laws ahead of an elec-tion. Today, the Court says: except for this one, except for this one, and except for this one. Ignoring every limit on federal courts' authority, the Court takes the unprecedented step of staying a state trial court's decision in a re-districting dispute on matters of state law without giving the State's highest court a chance to act. Because that order violates basic principles of jurisdiction, federalism, and equity, I respectfully dissent.

BREAKING: SCOTUS blocks New York state court redistricting order, over the strong dissent of the Democratic appointees.

From your mouth….

Also naming and claiming it for Delroy, Wunmi, Ryan, Best Pic, Ruth, Ludwig/Raphael, and every other award they’re nominated for!! We need some more history to be made!

Local news had the audacity to go to commercial break with a preview that Paradise is more real than we think.

I don’t know who thought this the time to note this, but I promise it’s not.

Please don’t piss us off right now.

As a native of Durham with roots in the Asheville area who went to college in Charlotte, I’m so glad to see Rodney Rogers, Roberta Flack, and James Ferguson II in this NAACP In Memoriam.

I cannot express enough my disappointment that Netflix canceled The Residence. It was SUCH an amazing and HILARIOUS show.
