When North Carolina turns blue on November 5, a large thank you will be due to Anderson Clayton. She is the youngest, hardest working Democratic Party Chair in the USA. We North Carolina Democrats thank you,
@abreezeclayton !
“You’re a really great communicator on behalf of your party, and I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next for you” – @maddow to @NCDemParty Chair @abreezeclayton 🤩
Jefferson Griffin and @NCGOP are absolutely determined to overturn and reverse North Carolina's election for our state supreme court, which Griffin lost by 734 votes.
This election is now the last statewide election in the entire country that remains uncertified.
Here's a quick summary of what Jefferson Griffin and @NCGOP are asking North Carolina's courts to go along with in their case:
1️⃣: retroactively cancel 65,000 votes that were legally cast, which the Griffin campaign itself chose (and @NCSBE says is based on factually incorrect analysis), and which would reverse the election outcome
2️⃣: only consider for cancellation ballots from early voting and vote-by-mail periods, but none from Election Day (which favors Republicans)
3️⃣: cancel thousands of votes from uniformed U.S. military service members and their families stationed overseas, who voted through the approved and federally protected DoD mechanism for doing so - a method Griffin himself voted with twice
Still to this day, the Griffin campaign has not demonstrated that even 1 vote they are challenging was fraudulent, or cast by someone ineligible to vote in North Carolina.
Not one.
The fact that this is "case" even being considered is a damning indictment of how politicized North Carolina's justice system has become - and how far these people are willing to go to grab unelected, illegitimate power.
OK, the report is now fully in major media. Media must get an extensive White House response; Congress must investigate (even if it's a minority report); DOJ and the FBI must investigate; the CIA must issue a report on what it knew about this and when. https://t.co/ee0IZrx14h

Appears these teaching grants Trump has canceled were mostly being used to hire people in rural, pro-Trump parts of the state.
With all the new focus on "government efficiency," how many North Carolina voters know that just last year, Republican leaders of our state legislature gave away $500 million in NC taxpayer funds to a secretive venture capital fund whose finances are kept secret?
NCInnovation is a non-profit venture formed by a group of big bank and pharmaceutical CEOs in the Raleigh area. They waited until Republicans held a supermajority in the NC state legislature before hiring a large group of lobbyists and pressing for Republican lawmakers to fork over a cool $2.5 billion of taxpayer money for them to invest in startups (for private profit, of course).
That amount was eventually negotiated down to "only" $500 million, which Republican leaders transferred to NCInnovation in 2024 as a part of the state budget.
(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast published a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and—possibly under threat—deleted it. But in an act of unusual heroism, it left it up long enough for archives to capture. PLEASE RETWEET: https://t.co/uUmGsCQtlm
I pray that Elon Musk has a major heart attack due to all the Ketamine he snorts. His death would be a blessing to the USA. Fuck you motherfucking piece of shit. Suspend my fucking account you evil motherfucker!
The press went wild talking about President Biden's gait, practically diagnosing him with Parkinson's. Meanwhile, Trump nearly face-plants trying to open a truck door, and it’s radio silence.
The media's still playing favorites, folks—handing Trump a free pass on a silver platter and proving that double standards are alive and well in America.
It's sick.

It was all deliberate. They only stopped him from calling VPOTUS a “c*nt.”

“A floating island of garbage…?” Referring to Puerto Rico???
“Poisoning the blood of our nation…?”
We have “murder in our genes….?”
Fuck these racists. Latino men of good will, have pride in yourselves and your ancestors. A vote for Trump is a vote against self-respect.
Highlights: "I hope you'll forgive me if I'm a little frustrated that some of us are choosing to ignore Donald Trump's gross incompetence while asking Kamala to dazzle us at every turn. I hope that you'll forgive me if I'm a little angry that we are indifferent to his erratic behavior. His obvious mental decline. His history as a convicted felon. A known slumlord. A predator found liable for sexual abuse. All of this while we pick apart Kamala's answers from interviews that he doesn't even have the courage to do, y'all." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@ScottforFlorida This isn't a comedy club. This is your political party's final campaign's message at MFSG. You know perfectly well, every single person chosen to speak has been approved, and their remarks vetted. These aren't jokes, these are positions, and your people LOVED it.
