Please share!!! This is getting ridiculousβ€”they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

β€œHistory isn’t made by the people who sit back and mock. It’s made by the folks who show up, give a shit, and are directionally okay with looking ridiculous in the process. The folks who understand that trying is the only way we’ve ever changed a good Goddamn thing.”

We're not done yet | 18F

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people:
