I'ma go ahead and endorse this fellow Army Airborne soldier. No, I'm not breaking my personal rule, he doesn't have a Primary opponent.

It never ceases to amaze me how many people vote against their own interests, and it's usually because of some idiotic fear-mongering about Socialism (and several other trigger words they simply don't understand). And I'm past the point of trying to explain it to them.

New: The North Carolina offshore wind auction set for May 11 will pit ambitious federal climate goals against hesitant state policy.

NC could take on a renewable energy leadership role in the Southeast with this auction and more on the horizon.https://t.co/O1XHEHIH80 #ncpol pic.twitter.com/8ZZkAwPT6C

It's like an idiot convention...

North Carolina coffers are getting even more flush - Consensus revenue forecast now anticipates $4.2B more revenue this fiscal year than earlier projected, with almost $2B more next year. What will it all mean for upcoming budget adjustments? #ncpol https://t.co/Kk7Rmk9hjf

Making their bullshit excuses for not funding Leandro even more inappropriate.

Draft Overturning Roe Quotes Infamous Witch Trial Judge With Long-Discredited Ideas On Rape

Alito cites Sir Matthew Hale, who conceived the notion that husbands can’t be prosecuted for raping their wives, and sentenced women to death as witches.https://t.co/ueFBMq6ZoK #ncpol

Alito just proved he is no longer capable of performing such an important function. Aside from the fact Hale died a century before our Revolution began, he put two women to death for witchcraft, which set the precedent for what later happened in Salem. And of course there's that whole "marital rape doesn't exist" nonsense, which (if Alito was still even marginally sane) should have excluded his mention in *any* Court opinion, much less one dealing with women's rights. Uggghhhh...

On that absurd note, here's your Onion:
