If you happen to be checking out that other social media site, you can find me there (still posting here too though, and cross-posting news stories in multiple places)

Robinson's second campaign manager after the first one quit is also running this podcast, Bryan reported...and that manager was still getting paid by Robinson's campaign last year, long after he left politics #ncpol

Save yourself the time. In "interview," former NC Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson says he was obsessed with sex and pornography. "I watched pornography and was involved with people that watched pornography and that was absolutely true." That's the main thing. #ncpol

I don't have 93 minutes to spend on this today, so hopefully someone will tell us if "I lied" refers to when he denied being the Nazi on the porn site, or some other statement #ncpol

I get that politicians love to post brackets to show they're Real People Who Watch Sports, but it seems like they can either shaft the local teams (and get roasted for it) or make an unrealistic bracket where Duke plays High Point in the final (and get roasted for it) #ncpol

In the SD26 machine recount, there's no changes in Rockingham County from the certified election day, absentee vote or provisional votes. They're moving on to early voting now.

Just spoke with #ncpol Attorney General @JeffJacksonNC. He's suing to block the merger of Tegna and Nexstar, who own multiple local TV news stations in NC. He's worried their merger will lead to newsroom layoffs as well as higher cable/satellite prices for millions.

In Guilford County machine recount today, Berger lost a vote and Page lost a vote, so no net swing and margin remains at +23 for Page. Rockingham County has scheduled a recount meeting for tomorrow. #ncpol

#ncga Rep. Mike Clampitt has died following a battle with cancer, according to the House speaker's office. Always a pleasant guy to talk with, an advocate for firefighters and a snappy dresser (this was what he wore to a pre-Christmas session in 2023). He'll be missed #ncpol

House Minority Leader Robert Reives on talks w/ Speaker Destin Hall: "I can look him in the eye, and I know that if he tells me something, it’s true. I know that if he talks to me about something, it’s what he feels is the right thing to do." #ncga #ncpol pro.stateaffairs.com/nc/politics/ro…

NC elections board effectively says no to Phil Berger's request to change the recount process: wunc.org/politics/2026-… #ncpol #ncga

NEW from me: @SheriffPage's campaign to oust @SenatorBerger got a big assist from four outside spending groups. What we know -- and don't know -- about who funded them, including some ties to Democrats: wunc.org/politics/2026-… #ncpol #ncga

Here's our story about the Berger campaign's four protests and recount efforts in the Senate District 26 primary that has huge #ncpol implications. wunc.org/elections/2026…

Berger is down by 23 votes, so these eight votes may not matter if the recount doesn't produce a significantly different outcome... #ncpol #ncga

Worth a read if you're on the State Health Plan... -Next year you could be steered toward a "preferred provider" if you want to get lower-cost healthcare services -Future premium hikes could be tied to pay raises wunc.org/politics/2026-… #ncpol

It's recount time in the most closely watched #ncga primary: wunc.org/elections/2026… #ncpol

Tomorrow's the deadline for protest filings in the Page-Berger race. Could we see one from Berger alleging that some Guilford voters got the wrong ballot? wunc.org/elections/2026… #ncpol #ncga

@katieperalta We've gotten a few brief downpours at my house...can't be going to school during that!

school canceled across the state, flights delayed and canceled, events canceled — it is, and I cannot emphasize this enough— barely drizzling in Chapel Hill.

🔥The number of wildfires in NC is steadily increasing. 🌲Helene damaged at least 822,000 acres of trees in WNC. (That's probably low.) 🧑‍🚒NC Forest Service, which fights wildfires, has staffing shortages and low pay. Fire officials say it's a risky mix. wunc.org/politics/2026-…

With the Berger-Page recount looming, I made a list of all the people who might have a role in the post-election process (from the local board of elections to the N.C. Supreme Court) and also have connections to Berger. It's a long list: wunc.org/politics/2026-… #ncpol #ncga
