State Board of Elections workers huddle around a laptop after a court order Monday temporarily blocked U.S. House, state Senate and state House seat candidates from filing to run in the 2022 elections under the districts drawn by Republican state lawmakers. #ncpol pic.twitter.com/JDc5voNwAb

This is just a stay, but it means the CoA panel thought it was likely that at least some of the gerrymandered districts would not hold up under court scrutiny.

I was afforded the opportunity to tour the Colonial Pipeline facility in Greensboro, today. Our energy infrastructure is critical for NC’s economy and, thanks to HB951, we will have a diverse, least cost, and reliable fuel source mix on our energy grid. #ncpol pic.twitter.com/KrdxNWXgNv

Did you ask them about the huge gasoline spill in Huntersville? That was a rhetorical question, of course you didn't.

In North Carolina, we have held primaries in March, May, and June so please be patient.

To be clear, this could have been avoided if the NCGA passed fair maps instead of partisan and racial gerrymanders.#FairMaps #ncpol 3/3

Yeah, it's important to point the finger in the right direction. They knew there would be court challenges to their twisted maps, but they passed them anyway. I don't want to hear any both-siderism, they're trying to take power from the voters themselves, not just their Dem opponents.

We could not be more excited to be named one of @nccleanenergy's Sustainable Energy Business of the Year recipients! Advocating for clean energy is some of the most rewarding work that we do! #ncga #ncpol pic.twitter.com/lmZ0AVzhMW

I am impressed. Really! NCSEA doesn't usually screw around with these things.

Thrilled to announce that I filed for re-election today to the NC Court of Appeals. #ncpol pic.twitter.com/Quta5aXxbK

Isn't he the jackass that tried to run over a protester on the sidewalk? Yes, he is. And he got off scot-free for that shit, too.

The Toyota Motors Company Battery plant is big news for NC as we transition to a clean energy economy!! 1,750 high-paying clean energy jobs are on the way. Building Back Better is already in progress!! #cleanenergy #cleanenergytransition #buildbackbetter #ncpol https://t.co/XMeFq8C9Ts

This is a big deal, as long as they can do this without poisoning the environment...

Far from the most galling aspect of this, but in addition to the sheer arrogance @RepCawthorn appears to have broken the law too (cc @CongressEthics) #ncpol #NC13 #NC14 pic.twitter.com/FzJKNjeE5f

He doesn't care about stuff like that, he keeps going into high schools with a damn knife, even after being warned not to. He's a f**king child, pushing the envelope to see how much he can get away with.

North Carolina would also be one Republican Governor away from abortion ban. #ncpol

We can't let that happen.

There’s no way I trust @JoeBiden to lower the cost of prescription drugs when every consumer product’s cost has increased because of him! #EnoughIsEnough #VoteTylerLee #NC13 #NCpol https://t.co/aH65oeKHIh pic.twitter.com/knTDssOChb
