I’ll do a thread here of #ncpol elected officials and candidates statements on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The first I saw last night came from ⁦@ThomTillisImage
From @MarjorieKEastmn. Have not seen anything yet from other GOP US Senate candidates. Image
From Cawthorn: Image
From @RepMarkWalker. Note the time. Came yesterday but I had not seen it until now.
From @RepAdams Image
From @TedBuddNC. He was apparently at Mar a Lago yesterday for Trump’s Putin is “pretty smart” for invading Ukraine comments. I’ve asked Budd’s campign about that. Nothing yet, no mention of it here.
Cawthorn has Tweeted quite a bit (see above in this thread, but he's had other Tweets as well). This one seems to be the most relevant to policy.
A bit more on @TedBuddNC - I’m linking another thread to this one.
From @RepRichHudson before the invasion began hudson.house.gov/press-releases…
From @virginiafoxx, who also says: “Joe Biden smirks and laughs while the world watches.

Utter weakness.” foxx.house.gov/news/documents…

I'm doing the family taxes, and two things stand out. First, I don't know that we needed $13,000 stimulus from the federal treasury last year. Second: The $9,000 in INTEREST ALONE we paid our mortgage company doesn't quite feel like a crime, but it is upsetting.
I'm including the advance child tax credit in the stimulus figure. Without it, the stimulus was $10,000, which also feels excessive, since we didn't see our income suffer due to the pandemic. But congrats to the banks, for the debt paid down and the interest collected.
Also this is the first year I've had to take my glasses off to read the tiny print on tax forms. I grow old, I grow old, I shall wear my trousers rolled.

Here's video from Mar-a-Lago yesterday of former President Trump saying Putin is "pretty smart" to invade Ukraine. @TedBuddNC's campaign confirms he was in the audience, as American Bridge's tweet noted, and I'll drop a campaign statement in this thread. #ncpol #NCSen
From the Budd campaign: Image
The "minor incursion" reference is to something Biden said in January: latimes.com/politics/story…

@KurtVonneguys If the graphic novel left you hankering to podcast, an all time Kurt Blurts episode sure would be great. Could also have a deep cuts section. Doubt I’d of read this story if y’all hadn’t mentioned it, and it’s such a beautiful, unusual, breath of optimism. Image
I realize this is not a content request service. But for whatever reason I started making my own list this morning. Just took a few minutes to hit 12.

I have been back and forth with @raleighpolice about this tweet and they stand by it. I've reached out to the governor's office, and to Wake County re: the intention of both stay-at-home orders. I'm going to post emails w/ RPD in this thread. #ncga #ncpol
This is RPD's full statement, following my phone conversation with their PIO.
This is my follow up to that statement.
