ROUGH transcript from Friday's arguments in Cawthorn v. Circosta, where US District Court Judge Richard Myers blocked a state-level challenge to investigate Rep. Madison Cawthorn on insurrection allegations, which could have kept him off the ballot #ncpol drive.google.com/file/d/1WVPLjA… If you want the basics, read this piece from yesterday, after the decision. But I'll excerpt from the judge's explanation in the transcript, which he went through very quickly yesterday from the bench. wral.com/judge-blocks-e…

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.

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

@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.
