It’s hard to describe how big of a political earthquake North Carolina would experience if Phil Berger, the NCGOP party boss, lost his state senate primary. The fact HE is considered a RINO these days shows that the GOP in the state has lost the plot. #NCPol #NCGA www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/u...

I'll never stop asking why Knott's district elected a man who voted for 5 years or more using his mommy and daddy's address when his grown ass lived in another district. And it's not like he didn't know better. He was a federal prosecutor. #ncpol
KNOTT: Why is it that there is so much tension in Minneapolis/St Paul right now?
SCOTT: Because paid agitators are actively trying to stop law enforcement action. Without that, you wouldn't even have any idea most of these arrests were taking place
