The only reason there is a slim Republican majority in the US House is NC Republicans’ illegal gerrymandering. I’ll explain.

Our NC Supreme Court overturned the maps from the previous court and NC went from 7-7 congresspeople to 10-4, giving Rs 3 more seats and the control they have today.

You’d think this was a joke if you didn’t know just how seriously the North Carolina General Assembly Rs were about their power grabs. I’m praying that the House sustains our governor’s veto of this authoritarian piece of legislation. 🙏🏼
The North Carolina General Assembly’s GOP supermajority just approved a hugely corrupt power grab, seizing authority from the governor and the courts to prevent any meaningful check on legislative abuses. Authoritarian stuff. A very dark day for democracy in NC. amp.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

Our great country has come to this? I'm flabbergasted. I guess we just normalize sexual assault and elect the perpetrators.

It’s a lesser-discussed accomplishment of the past year, but it’s deeply important: we’ve advanced several pieces of legislation to support finding a cure for Alzheimer’s.

We need to be doing more to help the millions of families hurt by this disease.

Media is broke. Morally.
Trump during the campaign "I know nothing about Project 2025"

Opposition: "Trump owns Project 2025!"

Legacy Media:"well, he says he doesn't, so you opposition folks are lying about him."

Trump picking cabinet and staff: majority worked on Project 2025.
