The NC GOP just pushed through another gerrymandered map—because they can’t win fair elections.
It’s cheating, and it’s a disgrace. Voters should choose their representatives, not the other way around.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.
I glanced down at the message.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.
So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

True story: I did an episode of Portlandia one time where I was broadcasting - and I kid you not - an attack of noodle monsters. Good times, huh?
Also, it only got a 7.3/10 on imdb? What the hell?

Elon Musk spending $277M to buy the Presidency and Congress is the equivalent of someone making the US median income (~$59,436) spending $37.
Citizens United made it way too easy for oligarchs to overthrow and own our government.
This isn’t Right vs Left, it’s the .01% vs the rest of us.

One of the great questions starting Jan 21 is how will Elon and Donald communicate?
Trump is all phone. Nothing in writing.
Elon isn't going to take 10+ calls a day.
I wouldn't be surprised if more than half their communications are via posts on Truth Social and X
Literally.
