What congressional district was hit hardest by DOGE funding cuts? This one right here, in Durham, North Carolina. @christadutton.bsky.social writes about the hits to the 4th District, a center of science and global health. @notus.com @theassemblync.bsky.social @briannaclarke.bsky.social #ncpol
DOGE Eat DOGE?
North Carolina’s 4th District was the hardest hit in the entire country. Could that come back to bite Republicans in 2026?

So proud of N.C. right now. If you don’t know the history here, Tar Heels are a stubborn bunch. The Regulators. The origins of NASCAR, the birth of the Civil Rights sit-ins. We don’t suffer fools easily and can spot govt overreach from miles away. #StayStrongNC #Resist

Ellis repeatedly accuses multiple CBP and ICE officials of lying (under oath) and says their "widespread misrepresentations call into question everything" they "say they are doing in their characterization of what is happening." She broadly discredits their testimony as objectively false.
U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis just handed down the written opinion version of her preliminary injunction order, regarding use of force by federal agents in Chicago.

It's the one already put on hold by the 7th Circuit.

It's 233 pages.

This is a thread detailing a series of incidents where federal Judge Ellis rules that Gregory Bovino and his agents lied or misrepresented what was happening on the streets of Chicago. In this one, she says body cam footage suggests they brake checked to cause accidents

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

It’s remarkable how bad right-leaning polling has gotten for Trump. Cygnal and McLaughlin have sent big warnings about 2026. Echelon found him dropping 8 points. TIPP showed him losing 10. Now this - Fox has him dropping 9 points. No illusions now. They know they are in a bad place.
