A federal district court just ordered the certification of the NC Supreme Court election, reaffirming what we already knew — Allison Riggs won. You can’t change the rules of an election after it has occurred.
Jefferson Griffin needs to concede and end this travesty.

Tillis needs to call for his resignation NOW, or if he won't (I'm not holding my breath) introduce articles of impeachment NOW.
Trump’s administration put national security at risk with a *GROUP CHAT*. We won’t let North Carolina, home to the 5th largest veteran population in this country, forget thom tillis was THE confirming vote in the Senate on Pete Hegseth to lead our department of defense.

Trump plans to let power plants dump virtually unlimited poison into our air. That will mean more kids with asthma, more adults with chronic health problems and fewer beautiful days to enjoy #PureMichigan. No thanks.

How Congress Could Force $1.1 Billion in Cuts on Washington, D.C.
District leaders say that a proposed cut to the city budget, part of a plan to avert a federal government shutdown, is unfair. The city raises most of its own money but cannot control how it is spent.

I constantly shocked (but not really) at the number of people who don't see it.

Now Thom Tillis just has to hope Hegseth doesn’t get drunk in a strip club with a married female co-worker who ends up accusing him of sex assault before the 2026 NC Senate election.
