ICE + CBP already have a massive slush fund. Congress doesn't need to give them more money without holding them accountable. I'll return to DC ASAP to vote for the unanimously passed Senate bill to fund TSA, FEMA, & DHS agencies while Congress negotiates reforms for ICE + CBP.

Since Trump took office, electric costs have gone up 21% in NC. And his war in Iran will only push prices higher. Now, the proposal to raise rates an extra 18% will hit families' already-tight budgets across the state. None of this puts North Carolinians first.

My guest for tonight's SOTU is NC Supreme Court Justice Anita Earls. Our country's Republican leaders are taking away voting rights, both in North Carolina and Washington, D.C. We're here to speak out and call out these unlawful attempts to suppress the voices of voters.

I guess this is what it looks like when Republicans control Washington…

I had an amazing time at TST, the premier 7v7 soccer festival taking place here in Cary. I'm so proud of what the Carolina Courage has helped to build and had the opportunity to meet Chris Paul and Mana Shim, two incredible athletes leading the fight for equality in women's sports!

The Senate unanimously passed a bipartisan bill to fund TSA, but House Republicans refused to hold a vote on it. I'm glad TSA agents are finally being paid, but we need a permanent solution. It's time to fund TSA immediately so Congress can negotiate needed reforms to ICE + CBP.

Trump's $1.7 billion plus slush fund is corruption at its most obvious: using your taxpayer dollars to reward the President's allies, including Jan 6th rioters convicted of attacking law enforcement. I have yet to speak to anyone - Republican or Democrat - in favor of this.

Republicans seem to have just learned what an informant is. And apparently haven't seen the movie BlacKkKlansman. The SPLC has used informants for years to take down hate groups from the inside. Now, Republicans are acting as if this concept is new to smear their work.

I visited the ICE processing facility in Cary with Rep. Foushee. This is where people are held before moving to a larger detention center. We're taking oversight into our own hands, which is why we're going to Georgia to view conditions and hear from detainees directly. More to come.

A lot of people think showing an ID to vote seems sensible. But that’s not what the SAVE Act does. This bill goes much farther, making it harder and more expensive to vote for millions of people, especially married women. Allow me to explain:

Outside the Israeli Consulate Building in LA, Paolo, aka The Peruvian Chasqui, spoke on standing with Palestine and the global struggle felt across Latin America. He also describes Peru’s longstanding solidarity with Palestine, and shared that people in Cusco had protested on Nakba Day as well

In my head, the 80s were just two decades ago. The neon lights, the wood-paneled consoles, the simplicity of it all - it feels so close. But 20 years ago was the mid-2000s. We’ve traded floppy disks for the cloud, but I’m still holding on. I may be in 2026, but my heart is set to "Retro."

WATCH: An ethics complaint filed against a DFL State Rep. following an Alpha News report; the Minnesota Paid Leave program draws complaints; and nonprofit spending doubles in Hennepin County.

The most sacred clause in the Constitution may be the war making clause. Our founding fathers are turning in their grave watching this Republican Congress allow one man lead us into a disastrous, incompetently run war.

Daniel confirms Thomas Massie completely crushed his opponent in grassroots enthusiasm and small-dollar donations. Yet, Zionists expects us to believe a candidate with zero rallies somehow doubled voter turnout.

🇺🇸 The Tulsa Race Massacre was one of the most devastating acts of racial violence in American history. For decades, it was excluded from classrooms. When ‘Watchmen’ chose to open with it, the series did something radical: It made hidden history unavoidable. 📖 moviestohistory.com/why-fiction-...

“Worst of the worst,” they said. Rep. Dan Goldman visited Delaney Hall and found worm-infested food, no medical care, overflowing sewage, retaliation, no outdoor time—and lawful visa holders, including an 18-year-old missing prom and graduation in detention. Room after room, lawmakers asked: 1/2

Former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis reflects on how George Washington embodied Stoicism. “He listens with the willingness to be persuaded. He quiets himself down, tones down his temper, and he learns,” says Mattis. “That is a man in control of himself.”

Report of direct hit by missile on residential building in Kyiv. Fires in central Kyiv (video). Kh-101 cruise missiles launched by Tu-95 strategic bombers earlier maybe incoming to Kyiv. Further drone attacks expected, more ballistics possible.

Some Americans are waking up. Hopefully it's not too late!
