I have thought on it and prayed about it, and I have decided: I am running to be the next U.S. Senator from North Carolina.

Ghislane Maxwell is a child sex trafficker that Trump just gave immunity to in exchange for her silence on him.

Wanna bet she only names democrats now and magically gets pardoned in a few years?

Let’s hope this would be the response today as well.

ATTN: If you’re one of the 1,000 FBI agents who reviewed the Epstein files, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻

Don’t Say Vote: NC GOPers Want to Bar Election Officials From Encouraging Turnout Read about the fight for democracy from activists, elected officials, legal experts and others.

No, this is not a joke. This is real.

North Carolina Republicans have introduced a sweeping elections bill that, among other steps, would bar election officials from encouraging or promoting voter turnout. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/don...

Pam Bondi Reportedly Created 1,000 Witnesses to the Jeffrey Epstein File - emptywheel In her bid to politicize the search for Jeffrey Epstein files, Pam Bondi created one thousand witnesses to what might be in the file.

Anyway, I RTed Durbin's letter several times, and did a post. Meanwhile, there are still LOTS of people whining that Dems aren't messaging on Epstein.

BREAKING:

The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering".

It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists.

You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE!

Great post, worth a read on a day full of symbolism. #nokings

Pride matters because right now, someone believes they don’t deserve love, just because of who they are or who they love. Congressional Equality Caucus.

We don’t celebrate Pride for the rainbows or parades, we do it because *right now* someone out there believes they don’t deserve love, just because of who they are or who they love.
 
That’s why we celebrate Pride—because we want to build a world where no one feels that way.

This kind of clear, direct explanation of what’s happening is basic journalism and yet it’s surprising to hear it stated so forthrightly in this mealy-mouthed era.

Remembering the fallen this Memorial Day, we can consider our own duty to strive so that our lives and our country are worthy of the price they paid.

JOINT DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP STATEMENT ON PASSAGE OF THE GOP TAX SCAM

Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Whip Katherine Clark and Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar just released the following statement:

As long as he outruns Publisher he’ll be fine.

IDEA: Stop covering politics like its a fucking sporting event.

The GOP spending cuts don't provide an "opening" for Democrats to attack. They are either going to harm people or not. Journalism is supposed to be about informing people.

Me too.

And Thom Tillis, up for reelection in 2026, was the key vote to confirm Hegseth along with Joni Ernst. Despite the fact that they knew he was unfit, they were afraid of Trump and put their political futures ahead of the country. Now they own every bit of this debacle.

Former journalist here so I get the AP case, but CFPB please.

Break everything!

Meanwhile, Lutnick and his ilk are focused on big screws like health care, social security and veterans benefits.

On Wisconsin!

Listen. This man knows. Bravo Cory Booker.

Thom Tillis casting the deciding vote to confirm Hegseth, and his shameful silence yesterday, should be a major issue in the 2026 NC Senate race.
