Reminder: MAGA candidate Jefferson Griffin lost his race but refuses to accept the result. He’s trying to toss out the ballots of 65k North Carolina voters.

Among the challenged voters: his Democratic opponent's parents, who've been voting for 50 years.

Trump’s dirty election night trick doesn’t work if you know it’s coming. Let me explain.

[Isaac Saul @Ike_Saul]

10 simple facts about North Carolina/Helene:

1. Biden declared a national emergency on Friday

2. Biden declared a major disaster on Saturday, which means survivors can already apply for FEMA funds

3. There are 5,000+ national guardsman in North Carolina

4. The U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and U.S. Health and Human Services are all working throughout the region

5. Biden spoke to Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) who said he got "everything he asked for" from POTUS in Georgia.

6. Gov. Roy Cooper (D) asked Biden, Harris and Trump to stay out until rescue missions were complete for obvious reasons

7. Local groups and orgs typically lead the immediate relief efforts; the feds support with $$ and additional resources but are rarely the first to respond (again, for obvious reasons)

8. FEMA & local groups are shipping in food and supplies via truck, plane, and even freaking mules!

9. FEMA search and rescue teams are on the ground and have been for days

10. This website is full of people lying about 1-9.

The Oxford comma (also known as the 'serial comma') is the comma that separates the second to last item in a list from a final item that is introduced by 'and' or 'or.'

It is optional...but be aware that not using the serial comma can result in some ambiguity.

Gus Walz’s reaction last night doesn’t need justification. It doesn’t matter if he’s neurodivergent.

Men can cry. Men can show emotion.

His reaction to his father’s speech was absolutely beautiful. 💙

People need to be made aware that Trump and the Republicans are going to cheat any way they can to take over the country. They know the only way they can win is by cheating and smearing. Become aware of their tactics, familiar yourself with voting laws.

@nic6879 I’m heartbroken, too. Like losing someone you grew up with.

The 1st season of Friends aired the year I graduated from college. I got married a month after Chandler & Monica got married on the show & the last ep aired a month b4 I had my 1st child. I had my entire young adulthood along with Friends. Oh, Chandler Bing. This one hurts a lot.

@NerdyPam Chartreuse and Vermillion should be switched, permanently. There was some kind of mixup there, but it's not too late to correct the mistakes of the past.

This was the front page of UNC-Chapel Hill's Daily Tar Heel.

No student, no parent, and no American should have to send texts like these to their loved ones as they hide from a shooter.

I'll continue to do all I can to reduce gun violence and call on Congress to do the same.

[Caitlyn Yaede (she/her) @caitlyn_yaede]

The front page of tomorrow's @dailytarheel –

I shed many tears while typing up these heart-wrenching text messages sent and received by UNC students yesterday. Our campus was on lockdown for more than three hours.

Beyond proud of this cover and the team behind it.
