I coached Little League against him back in the late 80s and early 90s. Just a super human being. May his memory be a blessing.

Putting on my suit and tie and going on America Erwache to describe a 234 year old basic requirement of the constitution for lawful searches and seizures as a “nonstarter.”

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

Amazing to see the folks who were waving “Don’t Tread on Me” flags the past decade now shouting “comply or die.”

This is 100% FALSE. Immigration judges do NOT play any role in issuing administrative warrants. They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves. ICE’s own training materials say they can’t be used for a search of a home!

Here’s a blank warrant form. Note who signs it.

The Song That Defined Bob Weir’s Role in the Grateful Dead This Weir tune took the band to the outermost edges of improvisation, and imbues the lonely work of all their touring with almost mystical significance.

Countdown to his pardon . . .

I am baffled at how there has been almost no mention that Trump led a coup against the United States 5 years ago today.

Too bad Pam Bondi wasn’t in charge of the new sign at the Kennedy Center. She certainly would have redacted Trump’s name.

Tell me you are not Irish without saying a word Charles.

Hard to imagine NC without Jim Hunt. They say never meet your heroes but I am glad I knew him. He was genuine and always striving to make NC better.

If anyone personified our state motto “Esse Quam Videri,” meaning “To be rather than to seem,” it was Jim Hunt.

Jared Kushner is part of Paramount's hostile bid for Warner Bros. Discovery Paramount is telling WBD shareholders that it has a smoother path to regulatory approval than does Netflix.

Of course. Of course.

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

PRO TIP: If you're going to lash out at reporters for questioning your stamina, don't fall asleep mid-rant.

They clearly have never listened to themselves.

Pete Hegseth * G @PeteHegseth X.com Your wish is our command, Andrew. Just sunk another narco boat. Andrew Kolvet • @AndrewKolvet • 3h Every new attack aimed at Pete Hegseth makes me want another narco drug boat blown up and sent to the bottom of the ocean. x.com/SenSchumer/sta...

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announces another boat strike in response to a request/wish from Turning Point USA’s Andrew Kolvet.

For those following everything about the UNC coach please do not call it a “FOIA” request. FOIA is a federal law that you invoke when you want federal documents. When you seek docs from a state or local agency in NC, it is called a “public records” request.

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

You don’t get to pick. That’s the whole damn point of the rule of law.

The Senate race set to become the most expensive in US history Roy Cooper is shattering fundraising records to turn the North Carolina seat blue

The world is watching North Carolina. I shared my thoughts on fundraising with The Telegraph in this article.

This is a massive, history making abuse of your power. It will define your legacy and one day you will come to regret punishing free speech and trying to destroy democracy.

Some crew to hang out with, when being sworn in as neutral independent judge.

I actually don’t know who’s running this country’s national security apparatus at the moment: the hapless and incompetent Tulsi Gabbard and Pete Hegseth or the right-wing conspiracy theorist and 9/11 truther Laura Loomer.

Little RFK is the most under qualified person to run a government agency. What an utter embarrassment.

What a sendoff for Lee Corso 👏

I highly recommend this documentary on Canada’s greatest rock-n-roll band, The Tragically Hip. Joy, sorrow, deep friendships and pride of country all wrapped up into a solid book of music.
