North Carolina — I’m grateful for your trust.
We have more in common than divides us. Here’s to building better days ahead!
Six seats flipped in North Carolina, despite Republicans’ efforts to gerrymander the state’s maps in their favor. Well done @abreezeclayton!!!
And YOU get a Democratic representative. And YOU get a Democratic representative. And YOU get a Democratic representative. 🇺🇸

It is my honor and privilege to be headed to the US Senate to serve the great state of Michigan.
Michigan, we did what they said couldn’t be done. We won. Together. Now the real work begins.
Imagine someone making fun of a woman's appearance, calling her a “fat pig,” “slob,” & “animal,” referring to her as “Miss Piggy” and “Miss Housekeeping,” and saying, “Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that?”
Now imagine Hen that person being President of the US

We got your back, New York!

Several figures here aren’t federal results or NY-specific. The $472B combines US wide pledges: Micron's $250B is nationwide (NY site $100B) Anthropic's $50B covers TX and NY. The 48% murder drop is from NY's state run GIVE program (28 departments, Jan – May 2026).

Dr. El-Sayed is a fighter for our American Constitution, he’s a fighter for our American Democracy, and he’s a fighter against the corrupt, lawless, and anti-American leadership currently in the White House. That’s why I’m in his corner 100%.

So because I did a tweet discussing a political reckoning regarding DEMOCRATS, you want the FBI to do a raid on my home and my community mosque?
First, reading comprehension, Laura.
Second, why waste law enforcement's time and money and ask them to terrorize Americans?
Third, please calm down and have a cookie and a coke.
If the Trump administration and our @FBIDirectorKash doesn’t conduct a raid on the home of @WajahatAli and his entire mosque by tomorrow at 10 am EST, then we will know we are a conquered country.
Muslims should not be allowed to make these types of brazen threats of Jihad in our country without serious consequences.
The Trump administration needs to start taking the threat of Islam seriously.
It is an absolute cancer of an ideology and its followers are threatening a civil war in America at 1% of the population if their Muslim Brotherhood jihadist operative candidate @AbdulElSayed loses his election.
Every single mosque should be raided by FBI agents in tactical gear and there should be a national ban on Muslims running for office to secure the safety of Americans. Every single Muslim immigrant should be rounded up by the US military and deported to one of the 56 Muslim countries.
Americans need to take these threats of violence by Muslims seriously.
Wajahat Ali is a public safety threat making threats of an Islamic uprising as a form of voter intimidation.
This is not ok.
Where the hell is the DOJ? They have barely done anything to break up Islamic terror cells in America and we are infested with these disgusting people who bring nothing but chaos to America.
American lawmakers need to defend our country from these savages because we are being conquered by violent Muslims.

❤️ My beautiful boy deserves to be remembered with love, not hate.
Yesterday, a Coventry fan used a photograph of Bradley to taunt Sunderland supporters. As his mam, this breaks my heart. Behind that photo is a little boy who was loved beyond measure (pt 1)
“MAKE NOISE IF YOU HATE IGNORANT, RACIST WHITE ASSHOLES!”
🚨 "MAKE NOISE IF YOU HATE N-WORDS!"
White players on a North Carolina high school boys soccer team were caught on video cheering a RACIAL SLUR on the team bus after losing to a rival school whose student body is Black and Hispanic and now their entire season has been CANCELED.
Thomasville, North Carolina
"Attention everybody!" a white player shouts at the front of the East Davidson High School bus after losing to Thomasville High. "Make noise if you hate N-words!"
White teens across the bus immediately erupt into loud cheers and laughter while two boys in the front seat fist-bump on camera.
Davidson County Schools canceled the rest of the team's season effective immediately.
Was canceling their season the right call?

💔 IN MEMORY OF JESSE ADAMS — A TRUE HERO FOR ANIMALS 💔
It is with enormous sadness that we have learned of the tragic death of Jesse Adams, founder of RainCoast Dog Rescue Society in Canada, who lost his life while carrying out an animal rescue mission in one of the most dangerous areas of Ukraine.
Jesse dedicated his life to saving animals, even when it meant putting his own life at risk.
We first came to know Jesse in 2021, when Afghanistan fell to the Taliban. Jesse and RainCoast were among the extraordinary organisations that came together to assist KSAR with the evacuation of 285 cats and dogs, helping many find loving forever homes.
Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Jesse travelled to the border to help fleeing families and their pets, providing veterinary care, supplies and assistance getting animals to safety.
He returned repeatedly, undertaking increasingly dangerous missions.
Most recently, Jesse worked alongside Animal Rescue Kharkiv, rescuing hundreds of animals from devastated frontline communities under constant threat from drones, missiles and artillery.
These were extraordinary acts of compassion and courage in the face of unimaginable danger.
Jesse knew the risks. He knew every mission could be his last. Yet he continued because he believed animals caught in conflict deserved protection just as much as those living in peace.
Those of us working in animal rescue in conflict zones understand and accept these risks. But few possess the courage to repeatedly travel towards danger when everyone else is trying to escape it.
Jesse was one of those very special people.
His death is a devastating loss to his family, friends, RainCoast and the international animal rescue community.
Our hearts go out to everyone who knew and loved him, particularly the Ukrainian rescuers who worked alongside him.
His legacy lives on in every animal he saved and every rescuer he inspired.
Rest in peace, Jesse. The world has lost an extraordinary human being, and the animals have lost a true champion. 🐾💔
With love and deepest respect,
Louise and everyone at War Paws
