@dani__battaglia @RoyCooperNC Good thing the Hurricanes weren’t playing, or you’d be waiting until the game ended.

At @RoyCooperNC’s first event since winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. #ncpol

Eight incumbents (possibly nine if Berger loses) in the #ncga were defeated in their primary, an unusually large number that indicates voters weren't happy with their performance: wunc.org/politics/2026-… #ncpol

@jwatsonfisher My wife asked last night, “Is your team there?” My response, “Technically not my team … but yes.” Oh, and saw @OU_Softball dominate in Las Cruces last weekend.

A group of my friends are NOT sports girls but watched the first half of last night’s game to try and spot me on ESPN. this is how the group chat went 💀😂

This sucks...McClatchy's DC bureau is one of the few newsrooms in Washington that covers politics through a state-level lens, including for NC #ncpol

@dani__battaglia Yes. Immediately.

I just heard a teacher call the Capitol by the nickname of the White House and I am now concerned. He also explained the government shutdown wrong. Should I take over the tour?

Some people visit gravesites as part of the grieving process. I walk by my shuttered @Starbucks place. RIP, quirky Santa Fe Plaza store where everyone knew my name (and importantly, my order).

Two stylish young men talking about politics, history and civility (in a nonpartisan way). Honored to learn from the legendary @BobShrum and a wonderful Global Santa Fe crowd.

@RaleighReporter @skyoutbriout

Fun story from @skyoutbriout on Cooper, Stein and the disappearing necktie. I wonder how quickly ties would disappear from the #ncga if leadership relaxes the dress code for sessions newsobserver.com/news/local/art… #ncpol

@BillChurchMedia @axios Incredible news I'm not a vegetarian anymore

Some news from me: Friday is my last day at @axios, a place that has fostered my growth and nurtured me as a journalist & human. Friday will also be my last day in journalism. I’m not sure who I am if not a reporter, but I’m excited (& a little scared) to find out. #ncpol

It’s the 80th anniversary of the Trinity Test. The Santa Fe New Mexican’s marvelous Ania Hull looks at how news outlets missed the historic story because of misinformation. A worthwhile read (that deserves taking the time to sign up). santafenewmexican.com/news/local_new…

Only acceptable options: Russell Westbrook Court at Braum’s Ice Cream Center OR QuikTrip Arena.

Where's @BillChurchMedia?newsobserver.com/living/food-dr…

@shelbymswanson @SJI_Update @WyntonJackson @APSE_sportmedia @newsobserver Congratulations Shelby!

Stoked to say I placed first alongside my fellow @SJI_Update alum @WyntonJackson in the @APSE_sportmedia 2025 student contest. I'm so grateful to @newsobserver for allowing me to work with them during my senior year at UNC and pitch unique, human-driven narratives. Much love 💗

@SolomonLexiB Back in the day, a fresh and inspired print experience. Your dad should be proud — of his legacy, including you!

I have Thoughts on the destruction of the paper my dad worked so hard to build up for so long but all I'll say is support local journalism and don't let decisions like these go unchecked

@jwatsonfisher Has there been any good weather days this year?

Tarp is on the field here in chapel hill. We were told the Oklahoma/Nebraska game will not start until at least 7 ET. #sooners #GBR

This is Florida.

New fashion accessories (and a sign they want me to stick around). Except I need at least 72 others to mix and match with ties and pocket squares.

@jwatsonfisher Totally get it.

I’ve told the story that my mom once left the dinner table and said, “I love y’all but OU softball comes first.” I wasn’t joking 😭

@SportingMads Congratulations!

Let’s go get my master’s today!!
