I heard UT graduation this year looked like this. I didn’t believe it. The problem is now obviously far worse than anyone imagined.

@RepKnott @RaleighGOP This is great. Wish we had more like him.

[Congressman Brad Knott @RepKnott]

I have always wanted to see the inside of a McDonald’s kitchen, and that wish came true a few days ago in Louisburg! Many thanks to the wonderful crew for showing me the ropes, serving hundreds of people every day, and for ALL they contribute to our community.

North Carolina feels like a state standing in the middle of a four lane highway trying to remember the words to an old country song. Half of us are trying to hold onto the version we grew up with. The other half are arriving daily with Cali, Jersey, Texas and New York license plates and opinions about how things “should be done.” Small towns are becoming suburbs. Backroads now got traffic circles. Old tobacco fields got townhomes named after the thing they bulldozed to build them. Somewhere along the way, every town started getting: a brewery, luxury apartments, a boutique pet spa, and a place selling burgers for $19 with “aioli” on them. Meanwhile the old lady at the country diner still calls everybody “baby,” and somehow that feels more like North Carolina than half the new construction in the state. You can feel the tug of war everywhere right now. Old North Carolina. New North Carolina. One side wants growth. One side wants to recognize where they live again. And honestly? Most folks probably fall somewhere in the middle. Because we all want our kids to have opportunity. We just don’t wanna lose the soul of the place while it’s happening. North Carolina used to feel like a secret. Now it feels like everybody found it at once.

What’s one thing happening in North Carolina right now that perfectly explains where we are as a state...

🚨 PRESIDENT TRUMP NAILS IT: "They call me KING now, do you believe it? No king. I'm such a king, I can't get a ballroom approved! Pretty amazing, right?"

"If I was a king, we'd be doing a lot more. I'm doing a lot, but I could be doing a lot more if I was a king!" 🤣

In campaigns, it's often asked whether you are better off now than you were before someone took office...

And by every metric imaginable, North Carolina is a better place today than it was before Phil Berger was elected president pro tem in 2011.

[Blake Perry 🇺🇸 @BlakeCPerry]

@MargoinWNC Why are you obsessed with attacking our own party? It would be quite helpful if this much attention was focused on the other side. I still appreciate most of what you do, no hard feelings, just an observation. #ncpol

[Bill D'Alessandro @BillDA]

North Carolina has cut state income tax every year for the past 5 years:

2021: 5.25%
2022: 4.99%
2023: 4.75%
2024: 4.5%
2025: 4.25%
2026: 3.99%

State GDP is up 40.6%, population is up 5.8%.

Never been a better time to move to NC!

[Phil Mickelson @PhilMickelson]

I see why you took a lot of this stuff out of the budget but the $3.6 mil for pastry cooking classes for male prostitutes in Haiti is going too far and I’m glad the Dems demand that be put back in.

The grandest of welcomes, for the closest of allies. 🇬🇧 🇺🇸

The UK Armed Forces uphold their reputation for world-class ceremonial as 1,300 personnel take part in a grand state welcome for US President Donald J. Trump.💂

The scale and spectacle of the ceremonial is unprecedented for a state visit - and there's still more to come. 🎺

Sad news. Travis added a lot to NASCAR. It was really nice to get to talk with him in recent months. I'm in awe of the men like him that shaped the NASCAR I grew up in.

This former Travis Carter-owned No. 23 Ford continues to decay just off Hwy 421 near N. Wilkesboro Speedway. A Winston No Bull entry that Jimmy Spencer once drove. #NASCAR
