North Carolina has to be one of the most corrupt state governments in our country. And here, getting rid of a seat held by a Black man.
Not good news here, #NC 😡.
Rs hold 10 of the state’s 14 congressional districts. The approved map aims to flip NC-1, currently represented by a D, Don Davis, a member of the Congressional Black Caucus. Trump narrowly won the district in 2024.

All current employees were put on indefinite leave, and now I've learned one has been fired in violation of federal protections:

This is… exactly what one would have expected if one had read Elon’s tweets, especially around that time. They thought USAID was funding “woke” stuff, which is why they killed it.
Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵
DOGE was not a money-saving effort. It was an effort to chase down and prove right-wing conspiracy theories. They went after USAID to prove conspiracy theories about foreign aid. Then they went after SSA to, again, pursue conspiracy theories about Dems paying "illegals" to vote. 1/2

With the exception of Jack Smith, this is correct. And utterly, utterly maddening. Fani Willis was right and this new guy is transparently wrong.
As much as folks complain about Merrick Garland, I didn't see any heat coming to the aid and assistance of DA Fani Willis. The only people that's been holding Trump to account has been Black prosecutors. Folks talk about lot about holding him accountable, but the lack of action is glaring.

This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Hegseth needs to go. He’s not only a threat to national security, but he’s a straight-up Nazi, complete with anti-Black and anti-women attitudes.
Congress requires DOD to facilitate Scouts activities but the Secretary can ignore the law in cases where it is “detrimental to national security." Hegseth is preparing to do so because the scouts have become too inclusive of girls.

"...the president is eyeing removing Patel and is considering top FBI official Andrew Bailey as the bureau’s new director..."
Trump can install Bailey as acting FBI director without Senate confirmation after Dec 15, when he will have served 90 days in his position.
(I hoped Hegseth would go first.)
