Opinion | It Doesn’t Seem Wise to Let Trump Decide What War Is

Every person who pumped his fist at Trump’s news conference should pause and think very hard about letting him — or any president — expand the definition of war until due process dies, blotted out by the flame and smoke of a missile strike. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/o...

We just left our church where we have attended and served for over 23 years. When one of the pastors posted his new “Gulf of America”tat on social media, we had to leave. I am heartbroken and my husband and I feel very alone.

I am feeling hopeless.

Then PLEASE do something!

Correct and unfortunately, WFU administration has received numerous complaints from WFU parents claiming his speech was inappropriate. Sigh.

Why is ICE wearing masks? What are they hiding?

The Mayor of Newark was arrested at an ICE facility—when elected officials showed up, masked agents roughed them up, including an 80-year-old congresswoman. Why?!

Today, more than six months after voters elected me to keep my seat on the North Carolina Supreme Court, my opponent conceded the election. Read my statement here.

Medicaid covers more than 3 million North Carolinians in all, including 1.3 million just in rural counties. Medicaid also pays for 60% of all nursing home stays in our state, and almost half of all childbirths.

Cutting Medicaid would be absolutely devastating to North Carolina.

NC Voters Must Fix Ballots in 15 Days or Be Disenfranchised, Court Rules Read more here.

🚨BREAKING: A three-judge panel in the North Carolina appeals court ruled Friday to disenfranchise tens of thousands of voters in the state’s Supreme Court election unless they can fix their ballots in 15 days. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Bombshell in North Carolina: the state's GOP-dominated Court of Appeals just sided with the GOP candidate in last year's supreme court race.

Their decision would toss roughly 60,000 ballots (!) that have been counted, & likely hand the election to GOP instead of incumbent Dem Justice who won it.

NC Court of Appeals gives over 60,000 challenged voters 15 days to prove eligibility The majority wrote that, even though they have the authority to completely throw out the contested ballots, they decided to instead mandate a cure period for most of the challenged voters.

If you are an NC resident and voted in November, please check if your name or the names of any family areone of the 60K votes being challenged. If so, confirm ASAP with your Board of Elections. You only have two weeks.

The website to check linked in the reply.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social - Please step up and call for Hegseth’s resignation and an investigation into the use of Signal.

So good. Heavy. But excellent

Just in NC

I LOVE a pixie haircut as you can probably tell. Go for it!

My son flies home from South Africa next week connecting in ATL before landing in NC. I am sick just thinking about it.

For North Carolina schools, a 31-year wait for court-ordered funding through Leandro It’s been a year since the state Supreme Court heard the latest round of arguments in the long-running Leandro school funding case, and there’s still no ruling.

Great to see a #ncpol media org highlight the biggest issue in the biggest part of the state budget…and it’s also great to hear from Jackie McLean, who’s been working tirelessly to get her students the education they’re owed

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

Dear Senator ___,

I'm alarmed about Elon Musk's influence over federal agencies.

Reports indicate that Elon Musk has gained access to the U.S. Treasury's payment systems and has been involved in significant changes at USAID. This raises serious questions about national security...

My husband’s grandmother did the same thing. She died several months before my birthday. Not only was the card ready when my bday arrived but it also included a $25 check.

I'm sorry but the Dems are ridiculously bad at their Hegspeth questions. IMO, if you want to prove someone is incompetent, you ask them the hardest strategic questions they will have to know to succeed at the job

Surround yourself with the kind of people who fiercely defend the Oxford comma.

For counties in western NC, the loss of this federal funding will matter Congress failed to reauthorize the Secure Rural Schools Act before it adjourned. The loss of funding will impact school districts in WNC.
