- RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Republican challenger concedes a 2024 North Carolina Supreme Court election to the Democratic incumbent.
- Correct headline: Republican challenger ceases attempt to steal 2024 North Carolina Supreme Court seat.
- NEW: President Trump will have an "intimate private dinner" with top 220 buyers of his crypto memecoin at his DC-area golf club, the issuers of the token said on their website. The coin skyrocketed on the news, at one point up 49%. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
- What a grift. Unconscionable.
- We've reached the point where Republicans are flying to El Salvador to visit one of the most vicious prisons in the world to have photo ops so they can prove their loyalty to the President of the United States.
- I don't understand how these R's are taking glamour shots but a D gets shut down in a request to speak to a specific prisoner? And by 'I don't understand' I mean that I understand completely.
- The VP seems to suggest a suspension of due process rights to tackle illegal immigration. This would be in line with El Salvador’s Bukele but not the U.S. Supreme Court
- This whole post by Vance is in preparation for Trump invoking the insurrection act.

- White Lotus finale was a work of art. Fantastic, deep moments for each actor and their characters. Acting, writing, and production top notch.
- This fucking guy. How out of touch with reality can you be? We just keep finding out.
- Was just reading John Quincy Adams' oral arguments before SCOTUS in the Amistad case and this part seems, uh, pretty relevant
- I guess JQA was a radical left lunatic and thus so am I.
- I can't wait for tonight's episode of Whose Administration Is It Anyway?, where the economics are made up and the facts don't matter.
- Follow the money and the reasons behind the reasons.
- Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...
- This is the FCC consumer complaint page. Every facet of the government is now dedicated to 'owning the libs'. consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us

- Gross.
- A State Attorney General filed this lawsuit. Let that sink in.
- Insane. The teetering court system is what is left.
- The Acting Solicitor General has notified Congress of DOJ's intent to ask #SCOTUS to overrule Humphrey's Executor—a major 1935 ruling upholding the independence of agencies like the FCC, FTC, NLRB, etc. fingfx.thomsonreuters.com/gfx/legaldoc... Because *less* independence is what we need...
- Insane.
- Sassoon absolutely destroys this ridiculous, scandalous, lawless order by Bondi and the DOJ (in her first week). These are the heroes we need if our country is going to survive this insanity.
- READ Danielle Sassoon's letter to AG Pam Bondi, via @nytimes.com: "Rather than be rewarded, Adams's advocacy should be called out for what it is: an improper offer of immigration enforcement assistance in exchange for a dismissal of his case." static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

- Counterpoint: if I see a document with their watermark on it I can have a little more trust it's not altered. In addition, the more people exposed to DD the better.
- We are currently living in the apex of the Information Weaponry Age. The most powerful leader of the most powerful nation is wielding propaganda to reshape our world.
- The $Trump administration selflessly caring for the American people yet again.

- Every accusation is a confession.
- "We can't believe that a Bishop would turn a church service into political arena. Despicable." *tragic plane crash* "Obama! Biden! Diversity!!!"

- I agree, and I believe the coverage has been extremely lacking. The mischaracterization of 'DEI' programs has been tacitly encouraged by the lack of education.
- Free speech, not freedom to misinform. Protect women, don't control and define them. Manifest love, not destiny. Enrich our culture, not our leaders. Release hostages, not criminals.
