The point is that if Trump got his way Balogun would not have become a citizen at birth.

Why even have rules?

[ESPN @espn]

Breaking: A judge in district court in Lubbock County, Texas, has granted the injunction requested by Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby. He’s set to be eligible for the 2026 season.

Sorsby cannot play in Texas Tech's first two games, which was the penalty his legal team suggested to the NCAA.

@retrophys1cal @_Rob__G_ Most of the issues caused by the project aren’t even related to the actual toll lanes. NCDOT wants to reconfigure all of the on and off ramps, which is why so many homes and parks are at risk. Charlotte is not to blame for NCDOT incompetence.

[Bobby Lord @bobbyc_lord]

@retrophys1cal @_Rob__G_ Charlotte only rescinded their approval after NCDOT finally released maps for the project in 2025 (after the 2014 and 2024 approval votes). NCDOT thought they could just force a bad plan on Charlotte and Mecklenburg County and we would have to go along with it.

[Bobby Lord @bobbyc_lord]

@retrophys1cal @_Rob__G_ Seems pretty reasonable for NC taxpayers to request things from their own Department of Transportation. Also reasonable for them to expect those services to be a benefit instead of harming their community.

[Bobby Lord @bobbyc_lord]

@retrophys1cal @_Rob__G_ As crazy as it is to imagine, Charlotteans are *also* NC taxpayers. And we deserve to not have our tax money used by NCDOT to ruin our city.

Losing your primary by 40+ points because voters didn't like how you represented them isn't "bullying," it's just democracy

Responding to that loss by changing your party affiliation isn't "putting constituents first," it's ignoring them

North Carolina had a 7-7 map. Their GOP moved it to 11-3. Guess who said NOTHING? Whiny ass @coachbrucepearl. He didn’t say a damn thing. As Della Reese said in Harlem Nights, “Kiss my ENTIRE ass!”

Amazing nickname like generational

Oh you’re Catholic and you disagree with the Pope? Maybe you should make a list of all the things you disagree with. Really dig deep, make it a nice long list. 95 seems like a good number. And then post that list somewhere he can see it, like maybe nailed to a church door.

@YIMBYLAND Which hurricane? 1900? 1915? 1961? 2008?

Galveston is a strip of sand surrounded by swamp and we’re fortunate it never developed as much as other cities because it could have led to unimaginable suffering.

Drives me crazy that Charlotte hasn’t bid to host the @MarchMadnessWBB regionals or Final Four 😢

[NCAA Women's Final Four @WFinalFour]

Nothing but fun at the Four It All Fest 🤩

@GwynBizzy How is Oscar Mayer on this list when they’re famous for their jingle that SPELLS THEIR NAME?!?

@_Rob__G_ North Carolina changed their runoff rules in 2017 to only require a 30% threshold to win. We absolutely need to move it back to 40% because this is nuts.

This industrial-strength douche took a private jet to Milan on the taxpayer dime to go watch hockey and get drunk. The FBI Director should have actual work to do and not treat the job like a make-a-wish fantasy camp.

I wonder if I can get this on a bumper sticker from Aggieland Outfitters…
