Not to stir a pot but I’ve heard locals born and raised here say Deep Gras the past few years but I’ve also heard locals born and raised here despise the phrase. So I’m gonna need yall to have a meeting and decide?? 😂😂

So nice of the #ChapelHill Country Club to host such an upstanding group of citizens. @ncae

[Lisa Snowden @LisaESnowden]

So what I’m hearing is that we’re experiencing historic crime lows with a reduced police department (?)

[Jamie Dupree @jamiedupree]

Not sure what's going on here - but the documents shown by DOGE and cited earlier for this $8 million in ICE savings has now been *changed* to $8 billion in the Federal Procurement Data System. 🧵

[Momentum Chaser @electricfutures]

After several delays, @DOGE has finally posted its purported savings. Why did it take so long to create a simple webpage with a 1000-row table? Who knows! Let's dig in.

Headline number: $55B saved. They list the savings per nixed contract. This should be easy to verify then.

It’s clear that Elon’s crack team of children ARE IN FACT CHILDREN, because only someone who had never really worked with data before would see a table like this and not think “I must be missing something about how this works”

[Sahil @sahilypatel]

I think about this HN comment a lot.

It’s true: I’m moving on after 10 long years. And it’s going to be a rocky road for this little paper, so we could use your help.

The race has narrowed, with Jefferson Griffin leading by 7,679 votes. Allison Riggs has not conceded and after the canvass is done, she has until next Tuesday to file a request for a recount.

Kraftwerk plays before a confused audience for the first time (1970). This is one of the earliest existing concert videos documenting the birth of electronic music.

My 6th grader got home and reported the results of his school-wide election here in New Orleans. They are as follows:

Kamala Harris 58%
Chase Oliver 29%
Jill Stein 10%
Donald J Trump 3%

The kids are gonna be alright

[Korie Dean @koriedean]

Donald Trump has taken the stage for his campaign rally in Greensboro, NC, almost two hours later than originally scheduled. Trump also rallied in Gastonia and Virginia earlier today.

[Clancy DuBos @clancygambit]

Only in New Orleans can I top off an awesome 70th birthday dinner with my wife, sons and daughters in law by running into classic a capella singers Jay-Ray and Gee on Royal Street — and they sing me Happy Birthday as only they can. No place like New Orleans. 🎵🎼🎶♥️

Served as a pollworker today in #Durham and it was *slammed*. Lots of same day registrations. Highly recommend serving as a pollworker b/c it’s a great (and rewarding) way to help people and advance #democracy @dcovotes
