I guess if I were @jamestalarico.bsky.social and I knew that the word most closely associated with my opponent was "corrupt" I would point out that the world's richest man is trying to buy my opponent a Senate seat 🤷‍♂️ A vote for crooked Ken Paxton is a vote for Elon Musk's agenda.

Your reminder that there is a felon in the White House identified in the Epstein files as a rapist, there has been no investigation, and the files are still being hidden in violation of federal law.

Records show recovery czar Whatley’s scant Helene engagement

Searches of communications found little evidence that Trump’s recovery czar ever engaged with officials on rebuilding Western North Carolina.

The Cook Political Report is moving 15 races in the D direction, including #nc11, which is moving from Lean R to toss-up. @CookPolitical is leaving #nc1 as a Lean R but note that it "could also shift into the Toss Up category."

Ah, yes, let us pledge allegiance to Old Glory, with its fifteen stripes and 60+ stars. The Trump administration is as competent with AI as it is respectful of the Constitution.

Reminder for #ncpol: Early voting plans are now set, but county boards are still in the process of approving *election day* voting sites--& for those votes, a majority vote carries the day. For example, it's on the Jackson County BOE agenda for today.

“There is a real chance that Balkcom can pull back voters—especially unaffiliated voters and moderate Republicans—that Edwards … lost to Ager. Jamie can still win this race, but he…need[s] to…not [take] anything for granted and to work even harder than they were when Edwards was still the nominee.”

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
