NC Senate Candidate Ted Budd took an oil company donation *one* day before voting against the ban on gas price gouging.
PLEASE don't send this guy to the Senate.

Bought and paid for, and not even slightly ashamed of it.

Before I visit a city for vacation or culture crawl (museums, book stores, art galleries, etc.), I take 20-30 minutes reviewing their public transit routes & frequency. If you flunk that test, you won't be seeing me.
It is important to #vote for Congressman @RepRichHudson to the #ushouse to prevent @BenClarkNC from giving @JoeBiden a chance to keep the US House.#ncpol #carthagenc #freedom #Republican #vote #southernpinesnc #MooreGOP #moorecountync #yrnf #pinehurst #ncgop #SandhillsYR pic.twitter.com/QyJ6y1oCc4

Um, what? Say that again, I got lost somewhere in that chain of events. Also, I'ma have to write you a ticket for hashtag abuse...
On the campaign trail, many Republicans see a civil war
In both swing states and safe seats, GOP candidates say that liberals hate them personally and may turn rioters or a police state on people who disobey themhttps://t.co/3uqW6uSJCl
Seeing the same rhetoric in #ncpol too— Cackilack Dev (@CackilackDev) July 25, 2022
Guess what, if you're still idolizing that sleazebag Trump, then yeah. I do kinda hate you. Because that choice you've made speaks volumes about your character. Don't want to know ya, talk to ya, see ya, none of it. If that hurts your feelings then take a long ass look in the mirror. Speaking of...
It looks like a solemn tribute to the American military: Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, and MIA/POWs.@Ashevegas @WLOS_13 @mxnews #asheville #avl #avlnews #ncpol https://t.co/NPOMgeOcLO

What was that? Six vehicles? About five too many.
Joe Biden has some significant accomplishments but nobody remembers them. That's a failure to communicate effectively. https://t.co/LYBSltrOdR #NCPOL

Thomas is not wrong, but the failure is ours, not the President's.
Reminder, if you have an absentee ballot for July 26 (tomorrow) local election, it must be RECEIVED by 5pm Tuesday, OR postmarked by Tues and received by this Fri. If you are mailing, I strongly suggest going INTO the post office TODAY and ask the clerk to hand postmark. #ncpol pic.twitter.com/91Ecme65nW

Buses and the Carolina Journal
If you want to understand why buses are empty, just watch this video, comparing urban and transit planning in North America and Europe.
I'm sure the Carolina Journal would never go for this model, since, in essence, it prioritizes people rather than cars.

Thomas Mills actually IS wrong
I see so many pundits trying to carve out a place to stand, trying to say something relevant, that they are becoming part of the problem they're complaining about. The Democratic echo chamber is a circular firing squad and I'm sick of it. Instead of pointing out what they think of as shortcoming, Democratic pundits should be carrying water in tanker trucks on behalf of the president and every other Democrat.
