If your reaction to natural disasters is to throttle your compassion according to the politics of the people affected, you're a bad American, a bad Christian, and a bad person.

Just a reminder, none of North Carolina's big suburban counties have reported anything yet. We're in the middle of the "red mirage" stage of the night. Pour yourselves a drink, people.

So it turns out @NCHouseSpeaker straight-up lied on Monday, when he claimed no one at the White House has offered any help. Official records show he was contacted multiple times by email, and his office even had a call with the Biden admin. newsobserver.com/news/state/nor… #ncpol
Tim Moore claims White House never called about Helene response. But it did

If the official Republican position is that anywhere from 60,000-225,000 ballots in North Carolina were cast illegally in 2024, then why are they only demanding that the state Supreme Court race be reversed? By this logic, shouldn't Donald Trump's narrow win be overturned too?

The Trump administration has officially informed the State of North Carolina that it is stepping back from supporting recovery costs from Hurricane Helene.

"It has been determined that the increased level of funding...is not warranted. Gov. Stein's office has sent me the official denial letter from FEMA. The denial may be appealed within 30 days. #ncpol

One of the North Carolinians who Trump pardoned for taking part in the January 6th terrorist assault on the U.S. Capitol also happens to be a child pornographer.

The internet is already boiling with misinformation about what the State of North Carolina and the feds are doing for Hurricane Helene response. Fact: Gov. Cooper mobilized the NC National Guard even before the storm hit. Hundreds are already engaged:

Actually, the Mecklenburg DA who kept releasing the guy was Republican Andrew Murray.

Law enforcement arrested this thug 14 times. It wasn’t law enforcement that failed. It was weak politicians like you who kept letting him out of prison.

This is a big story for #ncpol. Exhaustively researched by @jeffbcdm, it meticulously traces how @triciacotham sold her vote to the highest bidder, defrauded her constituents for far-right donors, set herself up for job - and impoverished NC kids doing it.
Did a North Carolina Democratic lawmaker throw the party under the bus for the charter school...

Bombshell: @markrobinsonNC and his wife falsified (or forged?) official gov't documents while running their daycare, including criminal background checks. They were cited for dozens of serious safety violations, endangering children in their care: newsobserver.com/opinion/articl… #ncpol

Roy Cooper has won every single election he's ever run, including six straight statewide contests. No Republican candidate has ever beaten him. Now, we will finally get to see which will be broken: the NC Democrats' string of federal race losses, or Cooper's undefeated record.

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.
