Heading out shortly to a #NoKings protest in Concord, NC, in a Republican-heavy area. Hoping to motivate independents / unaffiliated to vote in the upcoming mid-terms. Got my flags to wave.

I haven't missed one of these protests, even when traveling in Nashville, TN and Savannah, GA.

Phil Berger is o.u.t. Thank goodness. #NCPol

If you live in #NorthCarolina and aren’t following the Hometown Holler, you’re missing out. Best (left leaning) political commentary there is.

HA HA HA HA BERGER IS OFFICIALLY DONE!!!!

Now granted, Sam Page is nobody anyone should want near public office. Still, this is the NC equivalent of trading McCarthy for Johnson. They'll get a replacement but no one will be able to funnel wealthy donors to Senate races the way Berger could.

An (the?) architect of so many shady things in #NC government is toast. Taken out in a primary, even after pushing through redistricting to give the GOP another seat in the US House.

The schadenfreude is EXTREME.

Trump is unpopular, even in North Carolina. How unpopular you ask? His hand-picked candidate, the current NC Senate Leader Phil Berger, lost his Primary Election. That's how unpopular. #ncpol #ncleg www.wral.com/news/nccapit...
