Students from North Carolina A&T can be seen marching back to their HBCU after voting on the first day of early voting in the state. The Guilford County Board of Elections voted to remove the school’s on-campus polling site. (video via Todd Simmons) greensboro.com/news/local/g...

@ginafortexas.bsky.social came to debate Greg Abbott on his home turf, and he was still too scared to show up and answer for his disastrous record. If he’s not man enough to debate, he doesn’t deserve to be Governor of Texas.

Does arresting the wife of an enlisted man and mother of four US citizen children, a person who’s been here since she was 6 years old, make our country great again?

Every child deserves to be and feel safe in the classroom. No parent should have to send their child to school worried if they'll return home. This senseless gun violence has taken far too many lives in our country and it’s time for real reform that will save lives.

The news coming out of Oregon tonight is horrifying, and Lori and I are praying for the families and offering strength to the parents who will now have to bury a child.

3) this is yet another instance of Vance treating a native-born but nonwhite American as if they are foreign born. 4) it is vance who should be greatful that anyone ever bothered to treat him like he might do some good in the world (they were wrong of course)

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Federal agents have searched Democratic U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home as part of a criminal investigation. That's according to people familiar with the matter.

Technically 212(k) has nothing to do with this situation at the moment, as Rep. Omar is a U.S. citizen. But if the Trump admin tried, and succeeded, to denaturalize on this specific allegation (which is highly unlikely), she'd return to having a green card and would be eligible for a 212(k) waiver.

He called his bigoted opponent a bigot to his face. Ossoff knows his voters and trusts them enough to tell them the truth. He talks about those responsible for this horrible situation in ways that resonate with those of us who are looking around like, what the fuck? He’s v good at all this.
