Biden And D’s Should Target North Carolina.  Even in a world of fascist nutjobs now deemed acceptable within the Rethug Party, this guy is over the line: The Republican Party under Donald Trump has habitually elevated extreme right-wing candidates who can’t find enough support outside of hardcore partisans to win elections.

John Carney delivers his State Of The State address today.  2 p.m.  I know not why.  Anything of substance (insert joke here) was almost certainly addressed in his budget proposal.  A victory lap for a tepid two-term governor?  Perhaps.  But, like his stewardship, the speech is unessential.  I’m calling it: Worst Governor of the Modern […]

They’ve inexplicably  (well, not really) agreed to hear Trump’s bullshit claim that he’s immune from prosecution for any crimes he committed as President. Took them forever to rule on this, then pushed back their hearing on this case until April. Make no mistake, the Supreme Court has politicized this case: https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/02/28/trump-supreme-court-immunity-claim-dc-trial/ It’s all in the […]
