A federal judge rejected Republican efforts to throw out thousands of votes cast in the North Carolina Supreme Court race.
This comes after two recounts confirmed GOP candidate Jefferson Griffin lost to Democrat Allison Riggs by 734 votes.
Rare good news for democracy.

The Trump regime and DOGE are rolling out this playbook to attack Social Security — one of the most popular and effective government programs.
They're deliberately sabotaging it by firing SSA workers and cutting services.
Why? Because they don't want it to work.

Hi, I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.
Elon Musk’s Starlink Expands Across White House Complex
Trump administration officials said the company donated the internet service, saying the gift had been vetted by the lawyer overseeing ethics issues in the White House Counsel’s Office.

No offense intended against mainstream politicians like Newsom.
It’s just that at this point we are way beyond the realm of normal bullshit politics.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.
What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

If Trump and the GOP extend their 2017 tax cuts, the top 1% will make out like bandits — taking home an extra $165 per day.
But the bottom 60% will get shafted — getting only an extra $1.10 per day in exchange for massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP.
It's reverse Robin Hood.
